Inside Out 2 (2024) – 4K Ultra HD Disc Review
Format: 4K Ultra HD (2160p, HDR10)
Release Date: September 10, 2024
️ Runtime: 96 minutes
Genres: Family | Animation | Comedy | Drama
Rating: PG
Inside Out 2 is visual perfection on 4K, a dazzling showcase of Pixar’s creativity and Disney’s transfer quality. The jump from Blu-ray to UHD may be subtle at first glance, but HDR grading brings out dramatic improvements in tonal balance, highlight intensity, and color saturation. Emotions are rendered in velvety detail — fuzz, glow, and all — with textures like Joy’s glowing skin or Ennui’s couch registering with tactile fidelity. Sequences inside Riley’s “Belief System” or “Vault” are mind-meltingly colorful and precise. The hockey camp scenes show nuanced environments under naturalistic lighting, while interior scenes deliver intimate detail and a warm, inviting color palette. There’s no banding, aliasing, or compression issues to distract from the experience — this is UHD animation at its best.
Disney finally delivers with a top-tier Atmos mix worthy of Pixar’s bold world-building. Sound elements swirl with personality in every layer of the soundfield — whether you’re inside Riley’s mind or gliding across an ice rink. The mix has a clean, cinematic balance: dialogue remains grounded and precise, while ambient layers and effects fill out the space with immersive precision. LFE output adds gentle punch to emotional transitions and energetic blasts during HQ meltdowns. Overhead channels are tastefully employed — particularly during scenes where characters are launched or when effects soar through the emotional chambers of the mind. Music integrates fluidly and resonates warmly throughout. A flawless audio presentation.
(All bonus features are located on the included Blu-ray disc.)
❌ No bonus features are included on the 4K disc itself.
Inside Out 2 is everything a sequel should be — emotionally rich, technically stunning, narratively sincere, and visually groundbreaking. It expands Pixar’s imaginative world while delivering the same heartfelt storytelling that made the original a classic. The 4K disc offers reference-quality video and Atmos audio that fully immerse the viewer in Riley’s evolving emotional world. While the extras are thin, the core film experience is so powerful that this release remains a MUST-OWN for animation and Pixar fans alike.
