Pixar takes us back into the mind once again with Inside Out 3 (2025), an emotional and imaginative new chapter in Riley’s journey through life. Featuring Jenna Ortega as the voice of an older Riley and Reese Witherspoon as a brand-new emotion, this highly anticipated sequel promises to explore deeper feelings, unexpected challenges, and the ever-complicated world of growing up.
Teaser Breakdown
The teaser opens with a familiar shot: the glowing control panel inside Riley’s mind. Joy (Amy Poehler) hums happily as she fine-tunes Riley’s emotions. But as the camera pulls back, we see something new—an expanded headquarters, filled with unfamiliar, swirling colors. “Uh… guys?” Fear (Tony Hale) stammers. “I think we have company.”
Suddenly, the doors burst open, and a mysterious, shimmering emotion steps in. Enter Doubt (Reese Witherspoon), a cautious yet well-meaning presence who second-guesses every decision Riley makes. “Are we sure we’re doing this right?” she asks nervously, adjusting her glasses. “I mean, what if we fail?”
Meanwhile, Riley—now 18 and preparing for college—faces her biggest life transition yet. The teaser flashes through glimpses of her experiences: packing up her childhood room, saying goodbye to her parents, and standing in the middle of a bustling university campus, overwhelmed by excitement and fear. In the background, Jenna Ortega’s voice as Riley softly wonders, “What if I’m not ready for this?”
As Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust scramble to make sense of these new emotions, even more surprises arrive—hints of Regret, Nostalgia, and Determination—each bringing new challenges to Riley’s inner world. The teaser closes with a moment of humor as Anger (Lewis Black) yells, “I SWEAR, IF ANOTHER EMOTION WALKS THROUGH THAT DOOR—” just as the door creaks open again. Cut to black.
With stunning animation, heartfelt storytelling, and a fresh perspective on growing up, Inside Out 3 is set to be an unforgettable journey into the complexities of young adulthood.
