As we get closer to the debut of Inside Out 2 later this year, we are treated to one of Pixar’s artists introducing us to one of Riley’s new emotions during a visit at the new Pixar Place Hotel.
What’s Happening:
- Pixar artist Keiko Maruyama recently visited the new Pixar Place Hotel at the Disneyland Resort, and while there, shared a bit about one of Riley’s new emotions in the highly anticipated sequel from Pixar Animation Studios, Inside Out 2.
- In a new video, Maruyama, who serves as Character Art Director for the film, starts sketching one of the newest emotions from the film, Anxiety, in what appears to be – appropriately enough – the Sketch Pad Cafe at the newly transformed hotel.
- From there, we get to see the sketch drawn out and learn a bit more about the character, including some notes from the character designer, Deanna Marsigliese.
- Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone. Directed by Kelsey Mann and produced by Mark Nielsen with a score by Andrea Datzman, Inside Out 2 releases only in theaters June 14, 2024.
- The reimagined Pixar Place Hotel opened Jan. 30, 2024, marking the official transformation of Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel into the first fully Pixar-themed hotel in the United States. The 15-story hotel overlooking Disney California Adventure Park offers contemporary guest rooms that celebrate the artistry of Pixar Animation Studios, new dining featuring Great Maple restaurant, a rooftop pool area with a “Finding Nemo”-themed splash pad, new fitness center, play court, shopping and more.
- With a wealth of vibrant artwork on display, Pixar Place Hotel evokes the creativity, artistry and humor that each Pixar story holds. From initial sparks of inspiration to final designs, hotel guests can see how the filmmakers bring beloved Pixar movies and short films to life.
