Disney and Pixar expand the Inside Out franchise with the first sequel, and there are different options for where to watch Inside Out 2. Eight years after the first movie focuses on the inside of Riley’s mind and her emotions, Inside Out 2 brings the characters back for another exploration of humanity. Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust all return as Riley’s main emotions, but the sequel also adds new feelings to mix through Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, Ennui, and Nostalgia. This gives Inside Out 2‘s cast exciting additions like Maya Hawke and Ayo Edibiri.

The story of Inside Out 2 revolves around the original five emotions encountering the new group as Riley hits puberty. The two different sets of emotions are put at odds in terms of how to help Riley and who they believe is best suited to guide her through this formidable time in her life. The high anticipation levels to watch Inside Out 2 work in Disney and Pixar’s favor when it comes to how the studios plan to release it. Whether it is in theaters or on streaming, audiences have multiple choices about when and where to watch the sequel.

Inside Out 2 Releases In Theaters On June 14, 2024

Pixar’s Movie Exclusively Plays In Theaters First

Disney and Pixar elected to give Inside Out 2 an exclusive theatrical release starting on June 14, 2024. The sequel’s release comes eight years after the first movie made $857 million at the worldwide box office. Even though Disney previously shifted some Pixar movies to be exclusively released on streaming, the strategy was abandoned by the time Inside Out 2 came around. The film’s wide release in theaters gives audiences the earliest opportunity to see it on the big screen, including larger formats like IMAX.

When Will Inside Out 2 Release On Streaming?

Inside Out 2 Will Stream On Disney+

The time when Inside Out 2 will be released on streaming is not confirmed. It is known that the movie will stream on Disney+ once the theatrical run is over. Reports about Inside Out 2‘s streaming timeline state Disney and Pixar are planning to wait roughly 100 days after the movie’s theatrical debut to release it on streaming. This lines up with Disney’s typical schedule since the start of 2023. The reports and projections for Inside Out 2‘s streaming release date suggest a September 2024 debut on Disney+, but that could vary depending on the box office performance.

When Will Inside Out 2 Release On Digital?

There Will Be Options To Buy Or Rent Inside Out 2

Disney has yet to confirm when Inside Out 2 will be available to watch at home on digital. The studio typically makes its movies available to buy or rent on most major PVOD services about two months after a film debuts in theaters. This creates a projected August 2024 digital release date for Inside Out 2. Disney’s biggest brands since 2023 have not strayed beyond the 60 to 68-day window for digital releases. So even if Inside Out 2 became a major box office hit, audiences can strongly expect to see the film on digital services after only two months.
