“Inside Out 2,” currently the highest-grossing film of 2024, will be available to stream on Disney+ on Sept. 25.
Released on June 14, the film follows the five familiar emotions from the first “Inside Out,” Joy (Amy Poehler), Anger (Lewis Black), Fear (Tony Hale), Sadness (Phyllis Smith) and Disgust (Liza Lapira), as they navigate Riley (Kensington Tallman) through the beginnings of puberty. But as Riley heads off to a sleep-away hockey camp, Anxiety (Maya Hawke), Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser), Envy (Ayo Edebiri) and Ennui/Bordem (Adèle Exarchopoulus) take over the control room, evicting the originals from their post.
Kelsey Mann directed “Inside Out 2” and developed the story with producer Meg LeFauve. The film had the second-highest opening weekend of 2024, pulling in $155 million at the domestic box office with another $140 million overseas. The animated family comedy crossed the $1 billion threshold and is currently sitting at a worldwide gross of $1.5 billion.
