Richard Sort’s beloved Inside Out character could have missed out on 2024’s sequel, however the veteran Pixar voice actor has his personal concepts for a prequel TV sequence. Having beforehand lent his vocal skills to A Bug’s Life, Vehicles, Vehicles 2, and Toy Story 3, Sort performed the forgotten imaginary buddy Bing Bong in 2015’s Inside Out. In a touching sequence, Bing Bong valiantly sacrifices himself to permit Amy Poehler’s Pleasure to flee the Reminiscence Dump and save Riley (Kaitlyn Dias). Having been erased from Riley’s reminiscence, Bing Bong sadly didn’t return for 2024’s Inside Out 2.

Talking with ScreenRant about his look in Poker Face season 2, Sort spoke about his want to reprise his Inside Out character in what he envisions as a prequel tv sequence. Suggesting the present may observe Bing Bong and Riley when she is round three or 4 years of age, the actor expressed curiosity in exploring the pair’s imaginary adventures. Nonetheless, Sort admitted that he has by no means raised the concept with Inside Out director, and Pixar’s Chief Inventive Officer, Pete Docter. Take a look at his feedback beneath:

I would love a prequel to it, when [Riley] was three or 4 years outdated, and had an imaginary buddy, and we might go all world wide and have adventures, and I considered that as an animated sequence. Now, it is very costly to do the sort of animation that Pixar does, so perhaps that is why they could not do it, however I all the time thought that may be enjoyable to search out out what their adventures have been if he was an imaginary buddy, and I believed that may be TV sequence. However I by no means convey it as much as [Pete Docter].

A Bing Bong Prequel May Return To An Unused Film Thought

With 2024’s Inside Out 2 grossing almost $1.7 billion on the worldwide field workplace, virtually doubling the spectacular $858 million haul of the unique, it could make sense for Pixar to proceed constructing on the property. Along with doubtlessly already having plans for Inside Out 3, Pixar has already launched Dream Productions, a four-episode miniseries spinoff on Disney+. Marking the streamer’s greatest animated sequence premiere since 2021’s Marvel’s What If season 1, there may be clearly quite a lot of urge for food to see the world of Inside Out proceed to develop.

Furthermore, a sequence that follows Riley’s early childhood adventures may doubtlessly even see Docter return to a few of his authentic concepts for Inside Out…

As such, Sort’s idea for a Bing Bong-centric prequel sequence is probably not so farfetched in any case, even whereas taking into consideration his acknowledgment of how costly Pixar animations may be to supply. Furthermore, a sequence that follows Riley’s early childhood adventures may doubtlessly even see Docter return to a few of his authentic concepts for Inside Out, which the director has beforehand admitted would have as soon as included a complete slew of imaginary buddies, earlier than being condensed right down to Bing Bong alone.

One other Spinoff Miniseries Would Be A Good Precursor To Inside Out 3
