Summary
Riley has just turned 13 and about to enter high school.
Joy, Anger, Disgust and Sadness have since created a new section of Riley's mind called 'Sense of Self', which stores memories and feelings that make up her core personality.
For their exploits on the ice, Riley, and her besties Bree and Grace, are invited to a hockey camp for the weekend, giving Riley the opportunity to play for the Firehawks.
The night before, a Puberty alarm sounds and a group of mind workers upgrade the emotion console.
Subsequently, four new emotions are created: Anxiety, Embarrassment, Envy and Ennui, who set about using negative memories to corrupt Riley's mind.
Joy and co embark on a mission to regain control.
Mid-credits
Deep Dark Secret reveals to Joy that Riley lied about burning her mother's rug.
Return to Imagination Land
Messy yes, but as adolescence is such a chaotic ride, maybe that was the point.
Whatever, it's still a worthy sequel.
Due to pay disputes, some voice actors have been changed
Tony Hale (Fear) replaces Bill Hader, Liza Lapira (Disgust) comes in for Mindy Kaling and Kaitlyn Dias steps aside for Kensington Tallman (Riley).
Weird as it is, Anxiety (albeit with a different hairstyle), looks eerily similar to Angelica Pickles of Rugrats fame.
But Riley's video game crush Lance Slashblade is a nailed-on parody of Final Fantasy VII's Cloud Strife.
