One of the Inside Out 2‘s standout features is how carefully it develops each character, even in the most surprising spots—like the emotions’ own bedrooms. Fear’s (Tony Hale) room, for instance, is a cozy and safe place with a guard rail, a teddy bear, and lots of nightlights to keep him from feeling scared of the dark.

Disgust’s (Liza Lapira) room matches her chic style. It has a mirror and fancy accessories like an eyepatch and bonnet, so she can stay glamorous even while she sleeps. Anger’s (Lewis Black) room is equipped with a fire hydrant, a fire extinguisher, and a fireproof blanket, along with a small punching bag for him to blow off steam.

Sadness’s (Phyllis Smith) room is as you’d expect: she sleeps wrapped in a blanket surrounded by tissues, always ready for a good cry. And then there’s Joy’s (Amy Poehler) room, which is designed just like Riley’s (Kensington Tallman) own room, complete with a Big Bong made of origami. Each room in the film reveals how these emotions’ true selves are reflected in their unique surroundings.

Beyond its artistic brilliance, Inside Out 2 has set box office records as the highest-grossing animated film ever. With a staggering $1.5 billion worldwide (via The Numbers), it has surpassed even the mighty Frozen II, which sits at $1.45 billion (via Box Office Mojo).

This success is a big win not only for Inside Out 2 but also for Pixar and Disney as a whole. According to The Walt Disney Company, seven of the top 10 highest-grossing animated movies are from these studios, showing they lead the animation world. Plus, Inside Out 2 is now the 13th highest-grossing film of all time, proving just how popular it is.

The film’s success story is nothing short of extraordinary. It broke records with its opening, kept up its strong performance, and reached the billion-dollar mark faster than any animated film before it. It’s the highest-grossing movie of 2024 and the only film this year to surpass a billion dollars.

Both critics and audiences have fallen for Inside Out 2. It holds a ‘Certified Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, an ‘A’ on CinemaScore, and an impressive 95% audience score. Like the first film, which won an Academy Award and made $858 million (Via Box Office Mojo), this sequel is on its way to becoming a favorite franchise with merchandise, theme park attractions, and more.
