Work on Inside Out 2 commenced in 2020 after Mann saw photos of his birthday during upbringing. The film features Pixar chief creative officer Pete Docter's "five to 27 emotions" idea from the first film that Mann pitched during its production to utilize "truthful" worldbuilding. Like its predecessor, the production team consulted psychologists to accurately portray how teenagers' emotions change during puberty, while also enlisting a group of teenagers to accurately portray modern teenage life.

Inside Out 2 premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on June 10, 2024, and was released in theaters in the United States on June 14. The film received positive reviews from critics and has grossed $1.675 billion worldwide, breaking multiple box-office records, including becoming the highest-grossing animated film of all time. It also became the highest-grossing film of 2024 and the eighth-highest-grossing film of all-time.
