Rêves Productions

This show is great!

Dream Productions was always my favorite part of the original Inside Out movie, so I was thrilled when I heard Pixar was making a spinoff series for Dream Productions.

There was so much character growth and development, and the ending was really great.

I would love to see more Inside Out movies and series in the future, and of course it's always a plus when my RH fam appears.

Maya played Noriko, and Kimberly played Gigi.

I really liked everything about this show, and I encourage you to give it a try, because it's really sweet.

Thank you for reading my review.

I've been dreaming of this show since 2015!

Like a little dessert, it has all the spirit of Inside Out but explores a world so interesting and beautiful that you can't help but want more. The characters are just perfect, each with their unique charm and depth, and the quality is stunning-just like the movie. However, while it's undeniably delightful, it feels like a missed opportunity to fully delve into the richness of this world. There's so much potential to expand the storylines, deepen the emotional arcs, and truly immerse the audience. With only four episodes, it feels like a brief taste of something that could have been a masterpiece if given more time. Still, it's a joy to watch, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a short but memorable experience.

Have just finished watching and Pixar have struck gold with the TV documentary style show depicting the stars and creators of our dreams. Genuinely funny and I was personally just as emotionally invested in this as I was during the famous beats in Toy Story 2 and Up. Funny, Uplifting. Genuinely worth making some popcorn and loosing a couple of hours in an evening. I sincerely hope that the creative team come back for more. My only and main criticism is that it is clearly a movie split into 4 parts. I want more. Someone get this show a second season! With the concept it could genuinely go on for years and remain this good.

Let's be honest-spinoff miniseries from major franchises often feel like unnecessary add-ons. They usually ride on the coattails of the main story without adding much substance. So I was surprised when Dream Productions, Pixar's series set in the world of Inside Out, turned out to be a genuinely enjoyable watch.

Released on Disney+ in December 2024, Dream Productions cleverly positions itself between the events of Inside Out and Inside Out 2, but manages to stand on its own without relying too heavily on nostalgia. The story focuses on Paula Persimmon (voiced by Paula Pell), an old-school dream director in Riley's mind, and her collaboration and occasional tension with the enthusiastic daydreamer Xeni (Richard Ayoade). Told in a mockumentary style that gives off strong The Office vibes, the show pulls back the curtain on Riley's dream-making department, showing us just how much behind-the-scenes brainpower is working to keep her emotional world afloat.

What I really appreciated was that Dream Productions didn't try to outdo the emotional weight of the films. Instead, it leaned into the idea that not every part of Riley's journey needs to be a dramatic ordeal. Sometimes, it's the little quirks, like the way her brain processes dreams or how her subconscious deals with change that are the most fascinating. It gave us more of those fleeting, imaginative corners of Riley's mind we only caught glimpses of in the movies, and it made the world feel bigger without feeling bloated.

The voice cast is top tier, with familiar voices like Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, and Lewis Black returning, but it's Paula Pell and Richard Ayoade who carry the heart and humor of the show. The animation is on point, and Nami Melumad's funky, jazzy score gives the whole thing a unique energy that helps set it apart from the films.

So while I went in a skeptic, Dream Productions won me over. It may not be essential viewing for Inside Out fans, but if you're looking for something clever, heartfelt, and just plain fun, it's a surprising little gem that proves even side stories can shine.

If you are bored or having a bad day or have trouble sleeping. I believe this show is one of the most heartwarming shows I've seen.

It's not extraordinary or have a driving story but it's more like the inside out two film. This show is just about how the department of dreams help Riley make life changing decisions but at the core it's about the really of dreams and the movie industry as a whole.

I for one wasn't bored by a single moment. It wasn't what I wanted or expected but like I said before it's worth the watch.

I wish more shows like this are made instead of spending too much on making films that no one really cares about.
