Pixar, the studio behind hits like Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Cars, and The Incredibles, is returning to theaters with another sequel: Inside Out 2. This continuation of the beloved 2015 film about the emotions inside a young girl’s head—now a teenager named Riley—won the Best Animated Feature Award. With Inside Out becoming a full-fledged franchise, many fans are curious if Inside Out 2 will feature any scenes during or after the end credits.
Post-credits scenes have become a staple in superhero movies, particularly in Marvel productions and occasionally in DC Comics-based films. They’re also popular in other franchises like Star Wars, Fast and Furious, John Wick, Jurassic World, Matrix, Transformers, Ghostbusters, and even horror series like Scream, Insidious, and The Conjuring.
Pixar has also embraced this trend, including post-credits sequences in some of its movies like Toy Story and The Incredibles. For Inside Out 2, the answer is yes—there are not one but two additional scenes. The film, directed by Kelsey Mann, includes a scene midway through the end credits and another after the credits have finished.
Without spoiling, the first mid-credits scene offers a humorous nod to the original movie. Then, after the long list of names and acknowledgments, there is an extra sequence introducing a new character who plays a key role in the film.
While these scenes might not be as critical to the story arc as those in Marvel movies, they are a delightful addition to Inside Out 2 and may hint at the franchise’s future. They add a perfect finishing touch to this great sequel, making them worth watching.
