As a long-time Pixar enthusiast and moviegoer, I must admit that I find myself both excited and slightly apprehensive about the potential for another “Inside Out” sequel. On one hand, the success of “Inside Out 2” is undeniable, and it’s heartening to know that the characters and story resonated with audiences so deeply. On the other hand, I can’t help but feel a twinge of nostalgia for the days when Pixar was primarily focused on original stories.
In today’s movie industry landscape, producing franchise films is the trend for most studios, making sequels more sought-after than fresh concepts. For a studio like Pixar, which usually releases just one film per year, having multiple sequels in development can result in an extended sequence of sequels rather than new ideas. Compared to its entire body of work, Pixar has a high number of sequels, and the tremendous success of Inside Out 2 raises speculation about whether Inside Out 3 might not be too distant.
Following a spell where Pixar churned out numerous original films, it seems that Pixar is once again leaning towards a “series-based approach,” with sequels taking center stage in their upcoming slate. Notably, many of the forthcoming Pixar movies announced so far are sequels, and given the triumph of Inside Out 2, it’s clear that spin-offs can be highly profitable. When asked by Empire about a potential Inside Out 3, director Kelsey Mann didn’t rule out the idea, stating that while no plans are in place at the moment, the possibility certainly exists. Mann elaborated…
People seem eager and receptive. They’re keen on producing another movie, ensuring it matches up well with what they’ve already done. There’s a lot of anticipation for catching glimpses of Riley’s life – from start to finish, as fans are curious about her growth.
Nine years passed since the release of “Inside Out,” allowing ample time without pressure for a sequel, given its initial success. However, it’s worth noting that the sequel has surpassed the first movie in box office earnings, which may have influenced Pixar to prioritize the development of “Inside Out 3.
Should it occur, it would mark the fourth Pixar series to expand into a trilogy. Already, Toy Story and Cars have achieved this milestone, with Incredibles 3 already in production. This certainly suggests a trend towards sequels. With Toy Story now slated for a fifth installment, more than half of Pixar’s upcoming projects are sequels. However, Mann clarified that the actual number of sequels could be different, as he possesses more information than we do. He went on to elaborate…
It seems like we’re constantly seeking equilibrium. The number of original and sequel films you mention doesn’t quite match up with what I have in mind, as I’m aware of all our projects. However, we’re always striving for the perfect balance… In every case, whether it’s a new project or a continuation, our goal remains the same: creating an outstanding film.
Regarding Kelsey Mann’s mental figure and its impact on future Pixar sequels, what matters most is the quality of these productions. Even though people appreciate fresh ideas to stir up creative juices for potential franchises, they won’t mind if there are more sequels as long as they’re excellent. The upcoming Pixar film, Elio, is an original idea, but if it succeeds, the likelihood of sequels increases significantly.
