The Pixar sequel: 11th animation to achieve feat and first movie to do so since ‘Barbie’ a year ago.
The movie achieved the feat on Sunday, it’s 19th day in release. That’s faster than any animated pictre in history.
The Pixar film is the first movie since Barbie almost a year ago to join the elite club making more than $1 billion at the global box office. Among animated movies, it’s the 11th film to achieve the milestone. Disney dominates the list, laying claim to eight of those releases, whether Pixar or Walt Disney Animation titles.
Inside Out 2 is a needed win for Pixar and has broken record after record since its debut earlier this month.
Directed by Kelsey Mann, the sequel introduces a whole new cast of emotions who are brought into “head”-quarters when the story’s young heroine, Riley, becomes a teenager. Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust aren’t so sure how to feel about the arrival of Anxiety, Envy, Ennui and Embarrassment.
