Almost ten years later Inside out became one of the most beloved Pixar films ever made, the sequel broke box office records to become the highest-grossing animated film ever and by some margin the highest-grossing film of 2024. Set two years after the original, Inside out 2 follows Riley as a 13-year-old with new challenges and new emotions.

Pixar purists certainly have a right to have some concerns about the studio’s preoccupation with sequels and franchises lately, and how many of the more recent originals lacked the old emotional magic that gave the studio its reputation and a stream of indelible , memorable hits. But Inside out 2 is a good sign that the company is returning to its core strengths. It’s a sequel to a film that didn’t ask for one, and an expansion of a setting that derived much of its initial power from the simplicity of its premise: five emotions locked in conflict over an unprecedented new challenge. But the new film earns its place in the Pixar pantheon with its creativity, craftsmanship, and heartfelt writing. It’s almost enough to make Inside Out 3: The student days seems like a promising pitch to me.
