Pixar director Kelsey Mann introduced the first 35 minutes of “Inside Out 2” at a recent studio sneak peek event, comparing how happy he looked at his 5th birthday party versus how uncomfortable he was at his 13th celebration. His teen angst was the driving force in making the sequel to Pete Docter’s Oscar-winning original.

“Hank was one of the most challenging characters ever built at the studio,” Supervising Technical Director John Halstead told IndieWire. “An octopus’ extreme flexibility and the absence of a skeleton meant that we had to rethink our traditional approach to character construction and animation. We poured everything we had into him, and it was almost three years from the start of initial character design until we completed our first shots with Hank.”
There were issues of ground contact with more than 350 suckers and Hank’s mantle (the bulbous sack that...
