It didn’t take long for Inside Out 2 to become one of the best Disney Plus movies. Like a song stuck in your head, the film charmed its way into our minds, resonating with so many of us at once across such a broad range of ages that it quickly became the biggest new movie of 2024.
“I hoped it would do well, but I never thought that it would do this well in so many places in the world – it's incredible,” Kelsey Mann, writer and director of Inside Out 2, told me. It made such a splash when it premiered in theaters on June 14, 2024, in the US and UK (June 13 for those in Australia) that it broke numerous records.
