The Pixar world is expanding on Disney+ with two upcoming series, Dream Productions, which takes place in the world of Inside Out, and Win or Lose, an original series.
Today, Disney+ revealed the release dates for both series, with Dream Productions coming on December 11, 2024 and Win or Lose releasing February 19, 2025.
I had a chance to see some teases of both series at the D23 Expo, and they both look so much fun. Dream Productions gets inside Riley’s head once again to show us what her dreams are made of, and it’s just great to see more of the Inside Out world.
Win or Lose is a really cool concept that explores various characters on a softball team. I was really surprised at how gorgeous the art and animation for Win or Lose is, considering it’s a completely original series.
Check out a brief one-minute teaser for both series below. I can’t wait to watch both of these shows with my family in December and February!
TWO ALL-NEW SERIES FROM PIXAR ANIMATION STUDIOS SET DISNEY+ LAUNCH DATES
From the World of “Inside Out” Comes “Dream Productions,” Launching Dec. 11, 2024
Original Series “Win or Lose” Launches Feb. 19, 2025
Disney+ revealed today all-new launch dates for two exciting series from Pixar Animation Studios. A sneak peek is now available offering a look at both new series.
- Following the record-breaking global success and excitement surrounding “Inside Out 2”—which launches on Disney+ tomorrow—“Dream Productions” returns to Riley’s mind, this time to explore the innerworkings of the studio behind her dreams. All four episodes of the limited series come to the streamer beginning Dec. 11, 2024.
- The all-new original series “Win or Lose” features the intertwined stories of different characters as they each prepare for their big championship softball game. Eight episodes, each following a new character, start to roll out on Disney+ beginning Feb. 19, 2025.
“These two series really show Pixar creativity at its finest,” said Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter. “We’re excited fans won’t have to wait long for more great content from the world of ‘Inside Out.’ ‘Dream Productions’ offers up a treasure trove of jokes and fun as it digs deeper into one of our favorite parts of the first film, the making of Riley’s dreams. And we consider ‘Win or Lose’ a major, first-of-its-kind tentpole series, one that really showcases what I think makes our studio great: bold, imaginative storytelling; laugh-out-loud humor; and characters that we can all relate to.”
ABOUT “DREAM PRODUCTIONS”
Taking place in between the events of “Inside Out” and “Inside Out 2,” “Dream Productions” is an all-new series about the studio inside Riley’s mind where dreams really do come true—every night, on time and on budget. Riley is growing up and when her memories need some extra processing, Joy and the rest of the Core Emotions send them to Dream Productions. Acclaimed director Paula Persimmon (voice of Paula Pell) faces a nightmare of her own: Trying to create the next hit dream after being paired up with Xeni (voice of Richard Ayoade), a smug daydream director looking to step up into the big leagues of night dreams. Also featuring the voices of Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Ally Maki, Kensington Tallman, Liza Lapira, Tony Hale, Lewis Black and Phyllis Smith, the hilarious, mockumentary-style series is written and directed by Mike Jones and produced by Jaclyn Simon.
ABOUT “WIN OR LOSE”
“Win or Lose” reveals what it actually feels like to be in the shoes of eight different characters in the week leading up to the big game—the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire—with incredibly funny, very emotional and uniquely animated perspectives. Featuring the voice of Will Forte as the coach, “Win or Lose” is directed, written and executive produced by Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates, and produced David Lally.
