Pixar officially announced that they will follow up 2023's Elemental with a sequel to the 2015 hit Inside Out. News was confirmed at the panel by star Amy Phoelher, revealing that Kelsey Mann (The Good Dinosaur) will direct from a script by Meg LeFauve. "I read the script and it's amazing," Phoelher confirmed. The movie will take place only inside Riley's head, now a teenager, with new emotions coming into the fold. A summer 2024 release date was announced.

 This marks the sixth Pixar franchise to earn a sequel, following in the footsteps of Cars, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, and Monsters, Inc. It isn't the first time Pixar has returned to the world of Inside Out, though; there are a half-dozen shorts featuring Riley and her emotions which have been released since the movie originally hit theaters. Pixar tends to play things pretty close to the vest, though, so it isn't clear yet what the story of the sequel will be, or which cast members from the original Inside Out might be back.
