Is ‘Inside Out 2’ Streaming This Weekend? When Will it Be Available On-Demand on Disney+?
The latest Pixar movie is getting rave reviews from audiences and critics alike.
Puberty is a transformative time of life, and the emotions living inside Riley’s head will learn that the hard way in “Inside Out 2,” the latest Pixar movie which makes its debut in theaters on Friday, June 14. The movie is a theatrical exclusive for the present, but I’ll give you a heads-up on when I think it will be available to stream at home below!
Key Details:
- “Inside Out 2” has ratings of 93% from critics, and 95% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
- As a Disney/Pixar film, “Inside Out 2” will head to Disney+ to stream on-demand first.
- The film will likely spend longer in theaters than “Elemental,” which was released on the same weekend in 2023.
“Inside Out 2” takes viewers back into the brain of Riley, who just turned 13 and is growing up fast. As she begins to mature, Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust are trying to keep up with all the changes. But they have to adapt even further when a new emotion, Anxiety sows up and warns them that more are on the way.
The movie’s emotional intelligence and deft handling of its themes have earned it a 93% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and 95% of audiences who have caught preview screenings of the film agree that it’s well worth a trip to the theater.

When is ‘Inside Out 2’ Coming to Disney+?
Because “Inside Out 2” is a Disney/Pixar operation, it’s very easy to say which streaming service will get the movie when it becomes available to stream on-demand. Disney+ will house the movie once it’s done in theaters, and moves away from streaming exclusively on premium video-on-demand (PVOD) purchase and rental platforms like Apple TV, Prime Video, and Vudu.
As is always the case for new theatrical releases, it’s harder to say when the movie will stream than where. “Inside Out 2” is being released during the same weekend as Pixar’s last movie “Elemental” was in 2023. That film came to streaming on Sept. 13, 89 days after its initial cinematic debut. But “Inside Out 2” will likely draw a more enthusiastic audience than “Elemental” thanks to the high quality of the first film and its promising reviews, and that could mean it stays in theaters longer to pile up a bigger box office.
I think “Inside Out 2” will take an extra month or so past “Elemental“‘s theatrical window to reach Disney+, and will spend 120 days in theaters and on PVOD platforms. That would put its arrival date on Disney+ as Saturday, Oct. 12, but I’ll shave one day off that prediction since streamers more often release new movies on Fridays and say I think “Inside Out 2” will bow on Disney+ on Friday, Oct. 11.
