First trailer of ‘Inside Out’ TV show: ‘Dream Productions’ for Disney+
Disney and Pixar previewed the first trailer for the upcoming television series ‘Inside Out’, called ‘Dream Productions’ at D23.
“Thank you for making ‘Inside Out 2’ the No. 1 animated film of all time,” Pixar’s Pete Docter said on stage at D23 in Anaheim. “If you love the movie as much as we do, I have great news.”
Docter said the new series, due out in 2025, will take place between the first and second installments of the film – it’s an in-between stage.
The show is set in a studio where Riley’s dreams are made every night – on time and on budget. Some memories require additional processing, so they are sent to Dream Productions, and as Riley falls asleep, we see the film crew creating the dreams as a movie set.
“This is our first original series and we wanted to do something unique and bold, unlike anything we’ve done before,” said Docter.
Docter, the chief creative officer at Pixar Animation Studios, first teased the series in an interview with Entertainment weekly. In June, he told the outlet that the show was done: “We are done. It will be released next spring. I’m not sure if there is a specific release date,” he said.
“Remember in the first movie we go to Dream Productions to see how Riley’s dreams come to fruition? It partly explains why they’re so weird. We also continued to explore the power of dreams and how they affect us in our waking lives. So it’s pretty cool.”
“Inside Out 2,” the sequel to the critically acclaimed “Inside Out,” surpassed “Frozen 2” as the highest-grossing animated film in history, earning a whopping $1.5 billion at the worldwide box office.
The film, which cost $200 million to produce and lifted Pixar out of a box office slump, recently overtook another Disney powerhouse, Marvel’s “The Avengers,” and clawed its way into the top 10 grossing films all-time at the worldwide box office. .
Almost ten years after the original, ‘Inside Out 2’ revisits the mind of the now teenage Riley, whose well-known emotions of joy (Amy Poehler), sadness (Phyllis Smith), disgust (Liz Lapira), fear (Tony Hale) and Anger (Lewis Black) were running the show. As Riley heads off to summer camp, a whole host of new emotions emerge, including fear (Maya Hawke), envy (Ayo Edebiri), shame (Paul Walter Hauser), and nostalgia (June Squibb), creating some chaotic energy.
