In the first film, Rileys mom and dad were really significant characters.
Butwhile Rileys parents do reappear in the sequel, they have a massively reduced rolefrom the first one.
So, why are Rileys parents featured less prominently inInside Out 2?
She couldve called them from the camp, but that wouldve gone against Rileys attempts to become independent.
The movie couldve used a B-plot to show Rileys mom and dad adjusting to the life of empty nesters.
Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan reprise their roles as Rileys parents inInside Out 2.

Her dad got a new job in San Francisco, so the family moved there.
IfInside Out 2had focused on those same relationships, it mightve felt derivative.
Instead,Inside Out 2focuses on Rileys relationship with her friends.
Inside Out 2 is the sequel to the 2015 original film, which starred a young girl named Riley with a head full of emotions. - literally. With Amy Pohler as Joy, Bill Hader as fear, Mindy Kaling as Disgust, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, and Lewis Black as Anger, the all-star cast brought to life the emotions that adolescents face as they grow, change, and adapt to new situations. This sequel, currently in development, will bring Amy Pohler back as Joy, with Riley, now a teenager.
Theres only so much dramatic ground to cover in an angsty kids relationship with her parents.
Maybe when Riley is a young adult,Inside Out 3can explore her first serious romantic relationship.
