New emotions
In this highly anticipated sequel, produced by the director of the original film Pete Docter, but directed by Kelsey Mann, the heroine, Riley, discovers new emotions with puberty, which are added to those we knew already, Joy, Anger, Sadness, Fear and Disgust.
Anxiety, Boredom, Embarrassment, and Envy make a resounding entrance into the young girl’s life and wreak havoc on the command center of her brain.
This second part does better than the first Vice-Versareleased in 2015, which grossed $858.8 million.
