It may have been called Inside Out 2, but there’s nothing “out” about it. The animated sequel, set among the anthropomorphised emotions inside a teenage girl’s head, has been an unmitigated hit for Pixar, Disney’s most decorated animation wing. Shrugging off any notion of post-pandemic slowdown, the film, still in cinemas, has risen to become the eighth highest-grossing movie of all time. Kids loved it. Parents and critics wept before it. This week, however, it’s been at the centre of a PR furore, after a report by IGN claimed that Pixar executives had sought to quash LGBT+ plotlines during the making of the film. The instruction, claims the report, was to make the film “less gay”.
