Pixar is Back! ‘Inside Out 2’ Trailer Shatters Disney Records
Any concern that Pixar was losing its touch can likely be put to rest. Following the amazing comeback of Elemental at the box office, not to menton the film’s strong streaming numbers, the studio will look to keep the momentum going with Inside Out 2.
The first trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to 2016’s Inside Out was released Thursday to rave reviews and record-breaking numbers.
In fact, the first Inside Out 2 trailer has quickly become the most watched animated in Disney history.
The clip was viewed an astonishing 157 million times in just 24 hours. That number was good enough to break the record set by 2019’s Frozen 2.
A Tik Tok Hit
Inside Out 2 has been particularly popular on TikTok, where its trailer racked up 78 million views in one day.
The trailer’s success comes less than a month after Disney and TikTok announced a first-of-its-kind content hub on the social media platform in celebration of Disney’s 100th anniversary.
Continuing Riley’s Story
Inside Out 2 will continue the story of a now-teenage Riley and the emotions that live inside the young girl’s head.
In addition to returning emotions, Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger, the film will introduce new characters including Anxiety, Embarrassment, Ennui, and Envy as Riley’s teenage mind gets increasingly complicated.
Pixar’s Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter, who directed the original Inside Out was thrilled with how the first Inside Out 2 trailer was received.
“We couldn’t be more grateful to see the kind of response the trailer has received so far. Thank you to all who have checked it out. We can’t wait for everyone to see the film when it comes to theaters next summer,” Docter said.
With Elemental still dominating the streaming charts, and Inside Out 2 on the horizon, it seems safe to say that Pixar is back. If you haven’t seeen the Inside Out 2 trailer yet, watch it now!
Inside Out 2 will hit theaters on June 14, 2024.
