Inside Out 2, the highly successful Pixar sequel, has been a hit at the box office, nearing $500 million worldwide in just one week. This follow-up to the beloved original film explores new emotions in Riley's mind, such as Anxiety and Ennui, as she navigates her teenage years.
Fans of the first movie will remember the amusing post-credits scenes featuring the minds of various characters, and many are wondering if Inside Out 2 includes similar scenes.
Here’s a breakdown of the post-credits content in Inside Out 2.
Yes, Inside Out 2 has two post-credits scenes. The first scene appears early in the credits, similar to the original movie. The second scene is at the very end of the credits. Both scenes are humorous and are not intended to set up future movies. The second scene was not originally planned and was added due to positive feedback from test audiences.
The mid-credits scene shows Riley at dinner with her parents after returning from hockey camp. Her mother asks how camp was, and Riley, with Ennui in control, responds with a typical teenage, "It was good." This triggers Anxiety in both her parents. Her dad remains calm, while her mom becomes a bit irritated. This scene is partially visible in the final trailer for the movie.
The post-credits scene involves Joy returning to the vault to release Riley's Deep Dark Secret, a character who chose to stay in the vault earlier. Joy encourages Deep Dark Secret to reveal their hidden truth. The secret turns out to be that Riley once burned a hole in a rug. Joy is relieved, thinking it could have been about the time Riley peed in the pool. This revelation frightens Deep Dark Secret back into the vault.
This scene was added because test audiences were curious about Riley's secret. Director Kelsey Mann explained that while he liked the idea of leaving the secret a mystery, audience feedback prompted its inclusion.
Steve Purnell, who has provided additional voices for other Pixar films like Toy Story 4 and Brave, voices Deep Dark Secret.
Inside Out 2 has delighted fans with its humor and emotional depth, continuing the story of Riley and her evolving emotions in a relatable and entertaining way.
