Pixar just released the first trailer for Dream Productions, the Inside Out spinoff series. In it, we meet the characters who make young Riley’s dreams come alive at night. (Note, this takes place between Inside Out and Inside Out 2, so Riley is in her early tweens.) We also get a glimpse of the mockumentary style of the four-episode series, which includes a moving camera lens that sometimes struggles to stay in focus.
Based on this trailer, the show looks cute! Here’s the full official synopsis to give you more details on what the story entails:
Riley is growing up and when her memories need some extra processing, Joy and the rest of the Core Emotions send them to Dream Productions. Acclaimed director Paula Persimmon (voice of Paula Pell) faces a nightmare of her own: Trying to create the next hit dream after being paired up with Xeni (voice of Richard Ayoade), a smug daydream director looking to step up into the big leagues of night dreams.
In addition to Pell and Ayoade, Dream Productions features the voice talents of Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Ally Maki, Kensington Tallman, Liza Lapira, Tony Hale, Lewis Black, and Phyllis Smith. It’s written and directed by Mike Jones, whose previous credits include penning the screenplays for Pixar’s Luca and Soul.
All four episodes of Dream Productions are available to stream on Disney+ starting on December 11, 2024.
Check out the trailer below.
