Inside Out 2 tore its way through the box office and Disney Plus in 2024, breaking records for the highest-grossing animation and the most streamed premiere, and since then, many of us have been anxiously wondering when we can immerse ourselves in the mind by Riley.
After all, the new movie contained a couple of key details that hinted at more sequel plots to come, including the introduction of a new emotion (Nostalgia, voiced by June Squibb) that didn’t play a major role in Inside Out 2but it did give us a hint of a potential returning character in future films.
I spoke to writer/director Kelsey Mann, who would neither confirm nor deny that Pixar is considering expanding the franchise with Inside out 3 (a spin-off TV show has already been released); all he said was that there was nothing in the pipeline yet:[There are] no current plans for any follow-up film,” he told me.
Where ideas are made
Mann, however, disclosed during a conversation about the creation of Inside Out 2 that he had explored three different ideas for the plot of the sequel, as well as “a lot [new] emotions coming into headquarters.” While two of these obviously didn’t make the cut, that means there are likely some ideas left on the storyboard.
These ideas could end up finding their way into future films in the Inside Out franchise, especially if certain characters/emotions, such as the aforementioned Nostalgia, are brought back to play a greater role in later installments.
The story of Inside Out 2 suggests an endless amount of possible new characters that could join in future outings, such as the introduction of four new emotions in addition to Nostalgia (Anxiety, Ennui, Embarrassment and Envy) to represent the mature mind of Riley as it passes from child to teenager suggests that this could happen again as you grow up.
“There are so many ideas. I don’t have a general concept of Riley when she is.” [a certain] years old. I don’t have anything like that, but I have a lot of ideas for other lands or other emotions in mind that I think would be great,” said Mann when discussing the different possibilities for turning neuroscience ideas into colorful animated analogies.
Mann’s enthusiasm for where one of the the best Disney Plus movies It could lead after it is infectious, so much so that it seems a foregone conclusion that Pixar Studios will return to this golden goose soon enough. “There are so many great ideas that I’m like ‘this deserves to see the light of day.’ And I hope it does, I really hope it does,” added Mann.
A dream production
If the lack of any solid Inside out 3 the news is not what you want to hear, and you have already exhausted all the new Disney Plus movies like many re-watches of the Inside Out movies, then you will enjoy it Inside Out 2 spin-off series Dream productions which premiered on the streamer in December.
As Mann explains, dream productions, which is placed between the events of Inside Out and Inside Out 2, “It all takes place inside Riley’s mind at Dream Productions, where all her dreams are made like a movie studio.”
“It’s really great, and I can’t wait for the world to see this, because you can see a little bit more of Riley’s life, which we do a little bit more,” Mann says of what will likely become one of the the best Disney Plus shows with its 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating from audiences at the time of writing.
The series offers fans a great way to jump into Riley’s mind between the watches of two of the the best family movies available for streaming on Disney Plus. While the future of Inside out 3 it’s still up in the air, I have no doubt we’ll be back at headquarters in no time.
