Amy Poehler shares how ‘Inside Out’ movies transformed her life

Amy Poehler confessed that being part of the Inside Out movies was a life-changing experience for her.

The actress and comedian candidly spoke to People magazine at the 12th Annual Bring Change to Mind Revels & Revelations gala about her voice role in the kid’s animated movie and revealed how it has made a difference in her personal life while navigating emotions.

It is pertinent to mention the Saturday Night Live alum voiced the character “Joy” in both the 2015 original animated film and the 2024 sequel of Inside Out.

“My experience in Inside Out and Inside Out 2 has truly, fundamentally changed my life,” she told the outlet.

“Playing a character like Joy, having big conversations about what our emotions do to us and how they live in us and how we’re supposed to experience them,” the 53-year-old comedian continued.

While talking about the organization’s main goal of breaking the social shame related to mental health, Poehler noted, “That and watching how different the past decade has been in terms of not only the resources we need, the conversations we need to have, but who we need to have them with. Tonight is filled with young people, and I think we have a lot to learn from them.”
