Pixar Animation Studios has unveiled new trailers for its upcoming Disney+ series, Dream Productions and Win or Lose, along with their official release dates on the streaming platform.
Following the record-breaking box office success of Inside Out 2, which premiered on Disney+ earlier today, Dream Productions takes viewers back into the mind of Riley, this time exploring the inner workings of the studio behind her dreams. The limited series consists of four episodes and is set to debut on December 11, 2024.
According to the official description:
“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.”
The series features acclaimed director Paula Persimmon (voiced by Paula Pell), who faces her own nightmare when she’s paired with Xeni (voiced by Richard Ayoade), a smug daydream director aiming to make it big in night dreams. The voice cast also includes Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Ally Maki, Kensington Tallman, Liza Lapira, Tony Hale, Lewis Black, and Phyllis Smith. Written and directed by Mike Jones and produced by Jaclyn Simon, the series promises a hilarious, mockumentary-style experience.
Win or Lose, Pixar’s latest original story, presents intertwined narratives of different characters preparing for their championship softball game. The eight-episode series, with each episode focusing on a new character, will start streaming on Disney+ beginning February 19, 2025.
Here’s more about the series:
“‘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.”
Will Forte voices the coach in the series, which is directed, written, and executive produced by Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates, with David Lally as producer.
Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter shared his enthusiasm about the upcoming releases:
“These two series really show Pixar creativity at its finest. 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.”
Both series aim to deliver the signature Pixar blend of heartwarming storytelling and innovative animation that fans have come to love.
