If you’re a parent or simply a giant Pixar head stuck in an Inside Out 2 loop for the past few months, you’ll likely welcome the news that Dream Productions will be expanding this universe come December – and the full trailer hints at something entirely new.
The highly anticipated series is slated to debut on, following an extensive development period. The massive success of Inside Out 2, which grossed nearly $1.7 billion worldwide at the box office this year and became the highest-grossing animated film ever, has prompted Disney and Pixar to modify their plans. Originally planned as Win or Lose, set for release early next year, the studios have opted instead for a four-episode story that bridges the gap between the two Inside Out films.
From the studios of Disney and Pixar comes the official summary:
Pixar Animation Studios’ Dream Productions takes place between the events of Inside Out and its sequel, offering a new narrative that delves into the inner workings of Riley’s mind where dreams literally come to life each night, on schedule and within budget. As Riley’s memories require further refinement, Pleasure and the other Core Feelings dispatch them to Dream Productions for processing. Renowned director Paula Persimmon, voiced by Paula Pell, finds herself confronting her worst fears: attempting to craft a blockbuster hit alongside Xeni, a self-assured daydream director aiming to elevate his ambitions from daytime fantasies to nighttime aspirations.

The animation’s exceptional quality is a testament to Pixar’s commitment to delivering the same level of refinement they’re renowned for, as evidenced by their promise to maintain high standards within Disney’s streaming platform. This concise explanation highlights the distinctiveness of the four-part miniseries, detailing its unique runtime compared to a standard television season, effectively conveying its character in just a few sentences? The reported length of Win or Lose suggests a significantly more ambitious undertaking by the studio, with a much larger scope than previous projects.
Dream Productions, an expansion of the original “film studio” founded in 2015, was established by Mike Jones, whose credits include co-writing Pixar’s critically acclaimed films, Soul and Luca, despite being released during the unconventional circumstances brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic? As the highly anticipated Star Wars: Skeleton Crew prepares to debut on Disney Plus in early December, families with subscriptions can look forward to an abundance of fresh content that promises to delight and entertain together during the holiday season, free from the typical soulless fare.
