Set between the two theatrical films, this four-part series follows dream director Paula Persimmon (Paula Pell), the visionary who delivers Riley’s dreams every night. But Riley is growing up, and while the core emotions we’ve met in the films help her navigate her waking life, Paula’s dreams of unicorns and rainbows don’t quite cut it for a young girl on the verge of becoming a teenager. Enter Xeni (Richard Ayoade), a daydream director and the psychological equivalent of Wes Anderson.

The “Inside Out” movies were a superbly nuanced exploration of the complex emotions involved in childhood and growing up and “Dream Productions” looks to continue that trend, delving into the often surprising unconscious thoughts and images of a young mind. Expect some big laughs, but, as anyone who remembers Bing Bong will attest to, don’t be surprised to find yourself misty eyed at times either.

With critics raving about Pixar’s latest series, it seems the animation studio has firmly found their feet again, so read on to find out how to watch "Dream Productions" online and from anywhere.

What can we expect from 'Dream Productions'?

The official synopsis from Disney reads: "From the world of “Inside Out” comes “Dream Productions,” an all-new Disney+ series about the studio inside Riley’s mind where dreams really do come true—every night, on time and on budget, thanks to acclaimed director Paula Persimmon (voice of Paula Pell). Riley’s growing up and her core Emotions are on the job helping her navigate, but now Paula is facing a nightmare of her own: her signature combination of dreams featuring Rainbow Unicorn and copious amounts of glitter just isn’t working anymore. To try and save her career, Paula teams up with Xeni (voice of Richard Ayoade), an overly confident daydream director looking for his next big break. With differing visions on what makes Riley’s dreams successful, can the reluctant pair come together to create the next big tween-dream hit?"

Where can I watch the 'Inside Out' films?

Pixar's "Inside Out" follows five emotions inside the mind of young Riley Andersen as she moves to a new city, while the sequel, "Inside Out 2" deals with the overhaul the emotional HQ faces as she becomes a teenager. Both films can be streamed on Disney Plus, alongside the short spin-off "Riley's First Date."

Pixar fans can also find lots more of the studio's features and shorts on the platform.
