Conversely 2: Do the sounds of anxiety and boredom mean nothing to you? It’s normal!

Instead, nine years later, Pixar shows the continuation of Riley’s adventures, his parents and his emotions. Released in US theaters last Friday, June 14, Vice-Versa 2 has already set an attendance record with $155 million collected for its opening weekend. It’s the second-best opening of all time for an animated film in the US behind The Incredibles 2 (182 million).

Worldwide, the Kelsey Mann film grossed $140 million last week. Thus, Vice-Versa 2 collected $295 million at the international box office for its opening weekend. This is the best worldwide debut of all time for an animated film.

A big success for this animated film, which was released in our cinemas this Wednesday, June 19, and which is bringing color back to the French box office.

In this new opus, Riley is now a teenager, which did not lead to a major upheaval in the headquarters, which has to face something unexpected: the arrival of new emotions! Joy, sadness, anger, fear and disgust – which have been working successfully for a long time – do not really know how to behave when anxiety comes… The latter is accompanied by its friends boredom, envy and embarrassment.

Riley’s old emotions find their original voices. Thus, Charlotte Le Bon reprises the role of Joy, Marilou Berry once again lends her voice to sadness, Gilles Leloux discovers anger, Pierre Nin doubles fear, and Melanie Laurent again scorns. Characters that actors would love to find.

Dorothe Pousseau is anxiety

And it’s now surrounded by 4 new emotes. Thus, anxiety, the first new emotion to appear in Riley’s headquarters, is voiced in French by actress Dorothe Pousseau (this is Maya Hawke, who provides her voice in the original version).

Famous in the dubbing world, Dorothe Pousseau is the regular French voice of Margot Robbie, Annabelle Wallis, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Elsa Pataky, Lacey Chabert and Piper Perabo. She has voiced many animated characters, including Vanellope in Wreck-It Ralph and its sequels, Gidget in Like Beasts 1 and 2, Harley Quinn in The Lego Animated Movies, and the babysitter who gets run over by a baby in The Incredibles. Conversely, 2 is not the first Pixar film to star Dorothy Pousseau.

The voice actor’s voice perfectly matches the veritable ball of energy that is Anxiety.

Adele Exarchopoulos is sad

The orange emotion with red hair is accompanied by boredom, an emotion that teenagers and parents of teenagers know well… and it’s French actress Adele Exarchopoulos who voices the purple character in both the original and French versions.

The actress has already voiced Flamme in the French version of the Pixar film Elementary. He participated in American filming for the first time.

In the press kit, Adele Exarchopoulos confides: “I was already a huge Pixar fan, but the creativity in Vice versa 2 really blew me awayE.” The actress recalls that director Kelsey Mann shared a series of photos from her own birthdays to illustrate Riley’s story, noting that the pure joy of a young child transforms with age. 13 years old.I met the director, liked everything he had to say about the sequel, and saw his birthday photos at different ages – we all have the same pattern of progression in life. This is the moment when we move from the innocence of childhood to the complexity and angst of adolescence.

In an interview with us at the Annecy Animation Film Festival, producer Mark Nielsen admitted that boredom is his favorite emotion. “Because Adele Exarchopoulos does a masterful job of this character.” Note that in the original version, Ennui has a French accent and uses several expressions in French.

Maxim Horo is embarrassed

This big pink emote hiding under her gray hat is the cutest new emote. Unsure of where to stand, Embarass doesn’t really have lines, but makes noises… although we do hear her voice at the end of the film. And that’s Maxime Hoareau voicing the VF character (that’s Paul Walter Hauser in VO).

The actor notably voiced Pete Davidson in Fast

John Hoffman, head of the script, said of this endearing character:Awkwardness is often a focal point in the interactions between Riley and others. But the character only comes to life when his relationship with Triste ends. There is some kinship between them. Embarrassment comes across as very sensitive and a bit marginal, as sadness was in the first film. “

Kaycie Chase is a wish

Finally, Envie, the little blue emote with sparkling eyes is voiced in France by Kaycie Chase (Ayo Edebiri in the original version). The actress and singer notably lent her voice to Isabel Madrigal in Encanto, and she also performs hits from the Disney film.Let’s not talk about BrunoHe also voiced the mouse in Petty Petty and the Wrath of Poseidon, Star Luma in Super Mario Bros, Young Peele in the animated film of the same name or even Camille Le Haut in Ballerina.

Kaycie Chase also voiced Ariana Greenblatt and Rachel Zegler in Shazam! Anger of the Gods.

For director Kelsey Mann, Envy is the epitome of the “want” that teenagers know all too well. “At this age we are very prone to social comparisons. The fact that Envie is small comes from the idea that she wants more than anything to be as big as everyone else.”

On the contrary 2 It’s currently in theaters.
