Inside Out 2 was a welcome sequel for the beloved Pixar movie and its arrival on Disney Plus is just around the corner. It'll be added at an exciting time for one of the best streaming services, considering they've just announced an unmissable deal where you can get a three-month subscription for just $2

The animated follow-up came almost a decade after the first, and with a solid 91% Rotten Tomatoes rating, it was very much worth the wait. Expanding on the original film's lore by adding in some brand new emotions, the sequel was able to explore a different time in Riley's life with an equal amount of tenderness as the original hit.

Here's everything you need to know about Inside Out 2's anticipated streaming release date.
