If the original Inside Out was preparing children for the world of adult emotional complexity, Disney+’s Dream Productions is designed to prepare children for the world of grown-up entertainment clichés.
Basically HBO’s The Franchise for kids, the animated series is a flatly innocuous spinoff, wedged pointlessly between the two Inside Out films in a way that adds almost nothing to that Pixar universe, but doesn’t take anything away either. It isn’t bad, just bland, forgettable and oddly lacking in the psychological insight that made the first movie so great and helped the second movie eventually succeed on a sentimental level.
