About Inside Out
Inside Out follows Riley Andersen from age 11, with Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust steering her reactions from headquarters. The 2015 film ends with Riley settled in San Francisco, and the short Riley's First Date catches her at 12 with the same crew.
Dream Productions is set between the two films and shows the studio that films Riley's dreams each night. Inside Out 2 jumps to age 13, when Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment and Nostalgia arrive with puberty. Release order works, but story order moves the series earlier.
Good to know
Dream Productions is an interquel that takes place between the two films, even though it released after Inside Out 2, so chronological order differs from release order here. Riley's First Date sits right after the first film. A third film has not been greenlit, with only early brainstorming confirmed, so this list ends with Dream Productions. Start with the 2015 original either way.
