The new Pixar event
The sequel, directed by Kelsey Mann, became the fourth highest-grossing animated film worldwide. And its premiere in Japan is still off, scheduled for August 1, which could push the numbers even higher.
Riley, Joey, Anxiety, Fear, Ennui and the other emotions at headquarters now have their eyes on Frozen, which has raised $1.285 million. Inside Out 2 is expected to surpass this figure in the coming days, possibly over the weekend, becoming the third highest-grossing animated film of all time.
Internal and external 2 domestic records

And a month after all of this premiered, there are still plenty of summer weeks left to continue adding viewers. It will be interesting to see how far this film will go in the box office history.
The next plot takes us back to his mind, now a teenager, whose headquarters is being torn down to make way for new emotions. The famous Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Loathing who have successfully taken over the leadership of the camp experience an unexpected onset of anxiety, and she is not the only one.
Directed by Kelsey Mann, the film features an all-star cast: Amy Poehler as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear, and Lisa LaPira as Abomination. They are joined by Maya Hawke as Anxiety, Paul Walter Hauser as Shame, Ayo Idebiri as Envy and Adele Exarchopoulos as Innui.

With the runaway success of Inside Out 2, Pixar has once again demonstrated its ability to create films that not only capture the imaginations of children, but also resonate deeply with adults. The combination of an emotional story, likable characters and masterful direction ensures that Pixar will continue to be a pillar in the world of animation.
A bright future for Pixar
With an opening on the horizon in Japan, the expectation is to see how far Inside Out 2’s collection can go, not only surpassing Frozen , but also Frozen 2 ($1.45 billion) and The Lion King ($1,657 million).
Critical reception has been mostly positive, praising the way the series explores complex themes such as anxiety and shame while maintaining the humor and heart that characterize Pixar productions.
