This is Pixar in 2024! 9 years after Pete Docter and Ronaldo del Carmen’s Vice-Versa, Riley and her emotions of joy, sadness, disgust, fear and anger are back for a big adventure!
For this sequel, let’s focus on… the transition to adolescence. This will lead to a major upheaval in the headquarters, which will have to face something unexpected: the arrival of new emotions. And among them: the angst we already discovered in the first trailer for the feature film.
The new images released today allow us to discover two more new emotions for Riley: envy and boredom.
Adele Exarchopoulos on original voice casting!
If Amy Poehler (Joy), Louise Black (Anger), Phyllis Smith (Sadness), Tony Hale (Fear) and Lisa Lapira (Disgust) return to work 9 years after the first opus, the new emotions will have Maya’s original voices. Hawke (Anxiety), Ayo Edebir (Envy), Paul Walter Hauser (Embarrassment) and… Adele Exarchopoulos (Boredom).
New emotions
You read that right, our national Adele Exarchopoulos voices Ennui in the original version of the feature film. After voicing Flam in the French version of Élémentaire from Pixar Studios, the actor will be the original voice of one of Riley’s new emotes.
Ennui doesn’t care about anything. Tired and lethargic, with a well-practiced wink, he adds—depending on the mood of the moment—the perfect dose of adolescent apathy to Riley’s personality.
Opposite 2: Probable success?
When it was released last November, the first trailer for Vice-Versa 2 was viewed more than 150 million times in 24 hours, surpassing the record held by the first video of Frozen 2 for the highest-grossing animated film.
Vice Versa 2 is clearly one of the most anticipated films of 2024, which we discuss here on the podcast (and here in the article) by the way.
The first film, released on June 17, 2015, had more than 4.5 million admissions in France. It grossed $858 million worldwide.
Directed by Kelsey Mann (who notably worked on Monsters Academy and Onward), the feature film that immerses us inside the head of a teenager hits our theaters on June 19th.
