First-time feature film director Kelsey Mann dug deep into his own emotions while making “Inside Out 2.”
As he imagined a story about the confusing journey we all go on through puberty, he knew he would need to add new emotions to the ones from the first animated hit — so Anxiety, Envy, Ennui and Embarrassment join the fray in main character Riley’s developing mind. At the Annecy Animation Festival, Mann will appear at a special screening of the Pixar film June 14 and will serve as Disney Art Challenge jury president. The theme of this year’s event will be “Adolescence: So many emotions.” He spoke to Variety about the new film.
Recently, Kelsey Mann shows off early designs of Anxiety. It’s was supposed to looks like a godzilla, shows up small but could grows bigger and get worse when you ‘fight it’. This designs was chose because the director want Anxiety to shows up pretending to be someone else, hiding what she really was as we always try to denied the feeling of anxiety inside us.
