Inside Out 2/Plot

PLOT

The sequel begins when Riley Anderson is now 13 after the events in Inside Out and her emotions Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), and Anger (Lewis Black) are busy making memories.

One day, Jordan comes to take Riley ice skating. When Riley gets home for bedtime, Sadness had Dream Duty that night and runs away from Headquarters because she had a nightmare of turning memories sad when Joy tells her not to touch them. The next day, Joy tells the other emotions that Sadness has gone missing and has left them a note.

Sadness gets lost in the Long Term Memory and has to get away from Headquarters, so Joy leaves Headquarters to find Sadness, while Riley is at school. Joy spots her near Cloud Town and end up in the Subconscious to find Riley's greatest fear, Jangles, the birthday clown. They suddenly get ambushed and escape on the new Train Of Thought. Joy gets on, but Sadness comes up with a great idea by climbing up an electrical tower. Once she reached the top, she gets electrocuted and lands on the track, but Joy grabs her onto the train in the nick of time.

That night, Anger has Dream Duty and causes an earthquake near Tragic Vampire Romance Island to crush the train tracks as they start to tilt, but stops inches from the memory dump, but the Train Of Thought collapses as it hits a cliff after some sparks fly as it explode and bursts into flames as it falls just as the two emotions jump off the train onto the ground. Sadness felt scared and started to cry and whimper as she and Joy watch the faded memories burn as the ground started to shift, landing the two into the memory dump after the fire was put out.

Sadness and Joy were now trapped in hot water. Joy pulls Sadness from the wreckage and tries to launch Sadness out of the dump, but ends up hitting the window of Headquarters and falls back into the dump, so Sadness sings a song to help them get out and notices the recall tube, but it breaks, causing them to land on the ground, but Sadness falls back as a core memory lands in the water and traps Joy in a landslide of memories, so Sadness grabs the memory and pulls Joy out and onto the ground. They use an air vent to escape the dump as a explosion of TNT follows them. They decide to break into Graham Cracker Castle and fight a mind worker, but Anger causes another quake near Imagination Land, causing it to fall into the dump, but the two emotions escape across a balancing bridge with lots of lava below the bridge and the bridge snaps loose. They make it to the other side just in the nick of time to get tortured by Jangles. Sadness asks him if he did this, but he leaves. After he leaves, they escape through a sewer tunnel that leads to Dream Productions. When Jangles returns, he finds that Joy and Sadness were gone.

They enter Dream Productions by peeking out out of the sewer with a manhole cover on their head, so they wouldn't be seen. Sadness helps Joy up the side of the building by her dress, but when they enter the building, they accidentally interrupt Riley's dream by dropping a bell onto the dream teacher, so she calls an angry mob to execute them. The angry mob chases them as rain pours from the night sky. As the angry mob chases them, Joy gets captured, but Sadness escapes with a blurry vision, but the mob close behind. She jumps over Boy Band Island just as the it falls into the dump. The mob retreats as Sadness lands on Friendly Argument Island and snickers around a corner as she tries to find Joy. Sadness hides in Cloud Town, which was the only part still standing in Imagination Land.

Jangles sends a message to Sadness by telling her that he has captured the other emotions and to find him before Riley wakes up. Shocked, Sadness knew that he was up to something bad and heads back to Headquarters. She hides just as the angry mob tries to find her and notice the recall tube that Sadness was in, so she sneaks into the light bulb department as the angry mob breaks into Headquarters and are trying to kill her and get locked out by Sadness. She trips, drops some memory orbs, and rolls under the staircase. She accidentally activates the console and makes a sad core memory, but the angry mob charges in just as Sadness turns into a giant,which causes Headquarters to crumble, fall into the dump, and scare the angry mob away. Sadness then realizes that she forgot about her friends and that they need her help.

Meanwhile, Jangles has the other emotions held hostage. Sadness marches down the Long Term Memory and finds them in the nick of time. Jangles was fed up with Sadness, so he shoots fireballs at her and knocks her down, but gets distracted by mind workers and shoots a big fireball at them. Sadness punches him across the Long Term Memory, but he returns and fires a missile into Sadness' mouth. She sacrifices herself to save her friends by grabbing on tightly to Jangles as the missile in her mouth explodes. After the explosion, Sadness is back to normal and alive, but ends up slamming into Honesty Island. Later, she leads her friends into the sunset.

One year later, the emotions build a new headquarters and Riley is now 14 and back to normal.Sadness apologizes to Joy for running away and Joy forgives her. They slide down the banister and see the others at the console to help Riley. Later, Sadness holds a meeting with the mind workers and celebrates her emotional reunion back at Headquarters.

During the credits the emotions do some bloopers. After the credits, Jangles fades away in the memory dump and the emotions do the cha-cha at the end of the sequel.
