With a dismal $496.4 million worldwide gross for Elemental, the next highest-grossing movie in that era comes much below this. Multiple Pixar films were first published straight to Disney+, though, and only had limited theatrical releases subsequently.

Comparatively to its earlier successes, Pixar's two most recent films, Elemental and Lightyear, received more subdued reviews. Disney has been attacked overall for depending too much on remakes and Sequels; although Inside Out 2 is the latter, the narrative it is presenting seems to be fair.

The original inside out

Inside Out, the 2015 original film, portrayed Riley, a small child with a literally emotional head. With Amy Pohler as Joy, Bill Hader as Anxiety, Mindy Kaling as Disgust, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, and Lewis Black as Anger, the all-star ensemble vividly captured the feelings teenagers experience as they grow, change, and adjust to new circumstances. With Riley now a teenage character in the sequel, which is presently under development, Amy Pohler will once more play Joy.

Though from the sounds of the early reviews, Inside Out 2 would almost be impossible to beat. The movie generated an amazing $858.8 million worldwide and had a 98% among critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
