Reviews and predictions

The success of "Thoughts Inside Out 2" is called the biggest surprise of the season. Recently, parents began to prefer watching animated premieres with their children at home, which reduces the box office in cinemas. In addition, problems began at the Pixar studio - three films in a row did not reach a wide distribution and were released in streaming.

"Inside Out 2" rose to the overall 13th place in the combined list of the highest-grossing films of all time and has already passed last year's record holder - the film "Barbie" with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.

The second part of the cartoon about emotions introduces a new set of main characters. As the main character of the film Riley becomes a teenager, Anxiety, Envy, Boredom and Confusion settle in her head along with Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust. The film has been called a brilliant statement about the emotional changes that puberty brings.

Conclusions and future perspectives

"Thoughts Inside Out 2" started at the box office on June 14 this year and reached the mark of 1 billion dollars in fees for a record 19 days for an animated film. For comparison, the box office of the first part of the cartoon for the entire rental period amounted to 858.8 million dollars. The success of this cartoon opens new perspectives for Pixar and can become a starting point for other animation studios that strive to reach the same heights.
