About the sequel Inside Out 2
The animated feature has been certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and has become the highest-grossing animated film of all time, beating the live-action version of The Lion King and Frozen 2. Inside Out 2 is also the fastest animated film to reach $1 billion worldwide and is currently the eighth highest-grossing film in global box office history.
The Times Now review of the film stated, "Inside Out 2 may not shock audiences with the same out-of-the-box imaginative daring, but director Kelsey Mann and screenwriters Meg LeFauve and Dave Holstein build on the original film’s brilliance. They come remarkably close to matching its charm and depth."
