The VOD and Blu-ray release dates for Inside Out 2 have been revealed, confirming when the record-breaking animated movie is going to be available at home.

Inside Out 2 has been a box office hit and critical success, earning over $1.5 billion at the box office as of writing. It's also become the second highest-grossing animated movie of all time, just behind The Lion King.

Now, Pixar has announced that Inside Out 2 will be coming to VOD and digital purchase on August 20, while the physical release will be out in 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on September 10.

Why Inside Out 2 Has Been A Huge Success For Pixar & Disney

A Win They Needed & Deserved

Inside Out 2's positive reviews highlight how the movie deals with growing up and the challenges that come with it, including how anxiety can take over and influence someone's decisions. The universal messages of the movie likely contributed to its success, as the themes are ones that can resonate with people of all ages, especially those dealing with anxiety and worries. Because of these messages, it's no surprise the movie was able to garner as much success as it did, both in the box office and with critics.

The movie is also a huge win for Disney, who suffered many box office bombs in 2023, including high-budget releases like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and The Marvels. It's also a major hit for the animation studio behind it, whose last movie to gross over $1 billion was Toy Story 4 in 2019. Thanks to its high-quality storytelling and resonant message, the movie is already considered one of the best Pixar sequels of all time. This is both a positive sign for the movie, and for the studio as a whole.

Given its box office success already, the movie is likely to perform just as well on home release, especially given all the extras it comes with. It could also set the stage for a potential Inside Out 3, since it's clear the franchise is a successful venture for both Disney and Pixar. With Inside Out 2's home release just around the corner, it won't be long until the emotionally resonant and financially successful film is finally available to watch beyond the theater.
