Before entering high school, Riley Andersen is invited to join a social game she's never played before. In this game, each person shares something they’ve never done, and players tally how many of these experiences they’ve had. As her peers share mischievous stories, like skipping school, Riley begins to feel increasing Shame for her own lack of rebellious experiences. This leads to her losing control of her emotions, spiraling into a chain of embarrassing comments in what is referred to as her "shame spiral."

In the footage, director Kelsey Mann explained that while the idea of pairing Anxiety and Shame was explored, the focus ultimately shifted to deepening Anxiety's character. As a result, Shame was left out of the final version.

According to Mann, introducing new emotions into Riley’s mind felt like a natural progression: "We honed in on the idea that Anxiety would become a key character. It’s something that begins to manifest more as teenagers, and it’s universally relatable. I remember researching what happens in our brains during adolescence early on, which led to the idea of 'a wrecking ball crashing through headquarters with a swarm of workers rushing in to tear everything down.' That’s what becoming a teenager feels like—total chaos."

In addition to the deleted scenes, the Inside Out 2 Blu-ray + DVD set, 4K UHD + Blu-ray set, and digital purchase will include bonus features like "The New Emotions," where the director and staff discuss the creation of the new emotions, and "Inside the Vault," which takes a closer look at the hidden characters living inside Riley's memory storage—an absolute must-watch for fans.
