Bill Hader was the star at the D23 Expo this year with two Disney•Pixar movies in the works. The SNL star and actor talked to CineMovie about his two new animated roles that were unveiled at the Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Anaheim, CA.
Walt Disney Studios shared never-before-seen footage and details of their upcoming animation titles Friday at the D23 Expo. Included in that mix was funny man Bill Hader who will be voicing two characters for Disney•Pixar as Fear in “Inside Out” and “The Good Dinosaur.” After the big reveal, Hader stopped to talk to CineMovie to discuss his two very different characters and why he has a fear of snakes. Hader voices the character of Fear, a character inside a young girl’s mind in the 2015 movie, “Inside Out.” When asked what his biggest fear is, he mentions snakes and that fright of that animal only got worse when he heard about the python that killed two young boys. He quickly wanted off the subject.
Before “Inside Out,” Hader’s voice will be heard as part of the cast of dinosaurs in the May 2014 release of “The Good Dinosaur,” another Disney•Pixar film.

Find out more about the two new Disney•Pixar movies below and the other announcements made at D23’s Friday event.
• Disney•Pixar’s “Inside Out” brought Joy to fans—literally—revealing members of the voice cast, including Amy Poehler as the voice of Joy, Lewis Black as the voice of Anger, Mindy Kaling as the voice of Disgust, Phyllis Smith as the voice of Sadness, and Bill Hader as the voice of Fear. The audience met two of the film’s five starring emotions, Sadness and Fear, when Smith and Hader appeared on stage to greet fans and fuel excitement for the 2015 film.
From director Pete Docter (“Up,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and producer Jonas Rivera (“Up”), Disney•Pixar’s “Inside Out” takes you to a place that everyone knows, but no one has ever seen: the world inside the human mind. Riley, an 11-year-old girl who recently moved with her family to San Francisco, is not the main character but the setting for the film. Moviegoers will go inside her mind to explore how memories are formed and how a mixture of five emotions—Joy, Disgust, Anger, Fear and Sadness—defines life experiences. In theaters June 19, 2015.
• Disney•Pixar’s heartfelt and hilarious “The Good Dinosaur” roamed the convention center this morning. Co-director Peter Sohn and producer Denise Ream ( “Cars 2,” “Up”- associate producer) were on hand to announce key members of the voice cast, including Lucas Neff, voice of Arlo; Bill Hader, voice of Forrest; Judy Greer, voice of Ivy; Neil Patrick Harris, voice of Cliff; John Lithgow, voice of Poppa; and Frances McDormand, voice of Momma.
Neff and Greer appeared on stage, alongside Hader, whose voice was also heard in Disney•Pixar’s “Monsters University.”
“The Good Dinosaur” asks the generations-old question: What if the cataclysmic asteroid that forever changed life on Earth actually missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? In theaters May 30, 2014, the film is a humorous and exciting original story about Arlo, a lively 70-foot-tall teenage Apatosaurus with a big heart. After a traumatic event rattles Arlo’s tranquil community, he sets out on a quest to restore peace, gaining an unlikely companion along the way—a young human boy named Spot.
