Disney+ has set premiere dates for two brand new series from Pixar – ‘Dream Productions‘, set in the world of ‘Inside Out’, and all-new original series ‘Win or Lose‘. They’ve also released a little “sneak peek” video of both shows.
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.
The four-episode limited series also features 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.
‘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.
“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 favourite 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 humour; and characters that we can all relate to.”
‘Dream Productions‘ premieres Wednesday, 11th December 2024 on Disney+ with all four episodes dropping together. ‘Win or Lose‘ is an eight-episode series with the first episode premiering Wednesday, 19th February 2025 on Disney+ UK and worldwide.
