The world of cinema has been shocked again by the extraordinary achievements of one of the latest animated films, "Inside Out 2". This film managed to record itself as the highest-grossing animated film of all time, beating the record previously held by "Frozen II" and "Barbie". With global revenues reaching $1.46 billion, "Inside Out 2" has not only become the talk of the town among film fans, but has also become a hot topic on various media and discussion platforms.
Film Released by Pixar Animation Studios
This film, produced by Pixar Animation Studios, is a sequel to "Inside Out" which was released in 2015. If in the first film we were invited to peek into the various emotions that were going through Riley's mind as a child, then in this sequel we will see how Riley, who is now a teenager, faces new challenges with more complex emotions.
Bringing Into a Colorful World
"Inside Out 2" takes us back into a colorful world with emotional characters that we have known before such as Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger, and Fear. But not only that, this film also introduces new emotions that emerge as Riley grows. New characters such as Anxiety, Envy, and Embarrassment are present providing new and interesting dynamics to follow.
Inside Out 2 Movie Cast
The success of "Inside Out 2" cannot be separated from the intelligently written story and conveying a deep message about the importance of recognizing and managing emotions. The film was also praised for its high-quality animation and voice acting that brought the characters to life. Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black, and friends return to voice the emotions, while Maya Hawke, Ayo Edebiri, and Paul Walter Hauser are some refreshing new additions.
Opinions Will Continue to Increase
Overall, Inside Out 2 is now ranked as the 13th highest-grossing film of all time. The film still has some distance to catch the films at the top of the list, such as Avatar ($2.9 billion) and Avengers: Endgame ($2.7 billion).
Of Inside Out 2's total earnings, about $601 million came from the United States, while $861 million came from other countries, including $61 million in the United Kingdom. The film cost approximately $200 million to produce, not including marketing costs. Inside Out 2 will probably continue to grow in revenue in the coming weeks, especially since the film will only be released in Japan. The film also managed to top last year's top-grossing film, Barbie , which earned $1.45 billion.
But Inside Out 2 hasn't managed to beat the 2019 remake of The Lion King which made $1.65 billion (£1.28 billion). Although The Lion King technically uses computer animation, the studio classifies it as a live-action film so it is not considered an animated film.
A New History in Animated Films
The achievement of "Inside Out 2" is of course a new milestone in the animated film industry. This film was not only commercially successful, but also received high appreciation from film critics and audiences. This shows that animated films have great potential to not only entertain, but also touch hearts and provide valuable lessons for all ages.
This fantastic revenue also proves that a good story and mature execution can attract the interest of audiences from various backgrounds and ages. "Inside Out 2" succeeded in attracting families, teenagers, and even adults to come to the cinema and enjoy a unique and memorable emotional adventure.
Evidence of Pixar's Rise
This success is also proof of Pixar's revival after several years of decline. With the right strategy and never-ending creativity, Pixar has once again shown that they are one of the leading animation studios in the world.
Conclusion
"Inside Out 2" is not just a film, but also a phenomenon that inspires and has a positive impact on the film industry globally. This film has set new standards and left a mark that will be remembered for a long time.
In closing, "Inside Out 2" is real proof of the power of stories that can touch hearts and move emotions. This film is a celebration of creativity, imagination, and emotional intelligence that can connect to all of us, no matter our age or background. Let's wait and see, whether there will be another animated film that can surpass the achievements of "Inside Out 2" in the future.
