Del revés 2

Phyllis Smith came out of retirement to reprise her role as Sadness for Inside Out 2. She requested that Pixar find her a recording studio in Missouri, as she had no intention of traveling all the way to Los Angeles just for that.

As Riley gets older, her feelings are more complex, and therefore new characters (emotions) are introduced. However, wouldn't this mean that her parents (and potentially other adults), who have matured and developed even more, would not only have those emotions in their control rooms, but even more emotions? There is a flash of Anxiety during the mid-credits scene with both parents, but nothing else. Are those emotions being suppressed? Or hidden away like Riley's Nostalgia? Such was also the case in the previous film, when the adults' control rooms appeared as developed as that of the kids and had the same number of emotions. Though, to be clear, the said mid-credits scene does heavily imply that Anxiety and the other new emotions do tend to be kept in place by the main five emotions in the end and they only occasionally show up to voice their concerns which explains their entire absence from the first film.

"This film is dedicated to our kids. We love you just the way you are."
