Almost ten years later Inside became one of Pixar’s most beloved films ever, the sequel broke box office records to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time and, by some margin, the highest-grossing film of 2024. The action takes place two years after the original, From the inside 2 follows Riley as a 13-year-old with new challenges and new emotions.

Pixar purists are certainly rightfully feeling some concern about the way the studio has been engaging with sequels and franchises lately, and how many of the newer originals have lacked the old emotional magic that made the studio its reputation and produced a stream of indelible, memorable hits. But From the inside 2 this is a good sign that the company is returning to its core strengths. It’s a sequel to a film that needed no such script, and an extension of a setting that has lost much of its initial power from the simplicity of the setting: five emotions conflicted by a new, unprecedented challenge. However, the new film deserves its place in the Pixar pantheon for its creativity, craftsmanship and heartfelt script. That’s almost enough to do Inside Out 3: The College Years they seem like a promising idea.
