Disney has released the first teaser trailer for the next animated feature from Pixar, Inside Out, which is set to premiere next summer.

Directed by Pete Docter (Monsters Inc., Up) from his own story which was likely whipped into script form by Pixar’s vast human brain trust, Inside Out tells the story of a little girl named Riley and the different emotions she experiences during the story, which are portrayed on-screen as unusual characters living in her head voiced by Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Mindy Kaling, Phyllis Smith, and Lewis Black.

You can watch the trailer here below.

Not since 2005 has Pixar gone without releasing one film per year and 2014 would mark the second time since that it has happened. The Good Dinosaur was to have been the film that was released this year, but because of production troubles, which included the ousting of director Bob Peterson, the film was pushed back to a 2015 release, which would mean that we would see two Pixar films in one year.

That other film that would be released alongside The Good Dinosaur is Pete Docter‘s Inside Out. As we learned at the last D23 Expo, the film will center on the emotions inside of a young girl. Now, a new synopsis has been released, and it paints a clearer picture about the girl and the emotions that are in her head. Hit the jump to learn about it.

The Summer 2015 Pixar feature Inside Out was investigated in great depth at today’s Animation panel at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA, with the voice cast announced for the Disney/Pixar animated film and wow does this look like a winner.

Inside Out follows 11-year-old named Riley, who moves to the unfamiliar San Francisco. What awaits her there? We’re sure to find out, but what is certain is we will discover what’s inside her mind, which are represented here as five main characters that drive Riley’s personality and actions, known as the Five Emotions. Director Pete Docter and producer Jonas Rivera talked about the Five Emotions and announced which actors will voice them.

Lewis Black voices red guy Anger, dressed in a business suit; Mindy Kaling voices careful and straightforward Disgust; Bill Hader returns to Pixar again as the voice of Fear, a nerdy guy; Amy Poehler voices Joy, who glows and possesses blue hair; and Phyllis Smith voices Sadness, adorned in a blue sweater. All five play into how Riley behaves.

Disney and Pixar weren’t on hand at the San Diego Comic-Con to offer any details about Pirates Of The Caribbean 5, Tomorrowland, The Good Dinosaur, Frozen or Inside Out. Maybe that’s because they reserved those projects for their the con of their very own: the D23 Expo.

Up until now we only know that the plot of the film revolves what it is like to be inside the head of an 11-year old girl. But at the computer graphics convention Siggraph, director Pete Docter dropped a new nuggets of info regarding the upcoming film, which hits theaters in 2015. According to him the film was “one of the most challenging stories I’ve ever had to put together.”

Open the door to an exciting new way to experience Monsters, Inc. Pixar’s fantastic fourth film arrives on a new “Ultimate Collector’s Edition,” among Disney-Pixar’s finest releases.

Enter the monster world and forever be enraptured by the fun and heart of one of Pixar’s finest features. By chance you have never watched a frame of this buddy comedy, let me set up the story. Mike Wazowski and his best friend James P. “Sulley” Sullivan reside in Monstropolis, what seems to be your average city – with the exception that both of these beasts are charismatic monsters living in Monstropolis, the monster society. They are employed at Monsters, Inc., the energy factory where scarers like Sulley produce screams. How so? They generate this energy through frightening human children, accessing their worlds through opening doors. More screams equates to more energy. Simple, right? But when one child, which Sulley affectionately names “Boo” creeps into Monstropolis, chaos erupts. Humans are seen as toxic. They cannot exist here, so it seems. But what happens when you form a bond with a child? Tricky.
