Definitely this. I wasn’t interested in a sequel per se, but the idea (the main character getting to puberty, and all the changes that it would mean) seemed promising, and the trailer looked good.
Talking about trailers, they were smart enough and most of what you see happens very fast, allowing to enjoy the rest of the movie without having a clue of what is going to happen.
One cynical theory I saw somewhere (probably in another thread here) … Is that Disney is good at making their films seem like “must see” events, that they’re perceived as a cultural staple.
Asking with the partial death of cinemas, it makes sense that you’d get some films like this that just convince everyone to go see it, cuz people still want to go every now and then… and it makes sense that it’d be Disney films that do that.
Yeah I’ve never met someone in real life who loves these movies. I’m sure they’re great it’s just odd. I’d expect to see more merch at stores and stuff.

That’s genuinely insane to me. I know Inside Out was popular, but I had no idea people were clamoring for a sequel.

Maybe it’s less people clamoring for it and more just people enjoying a good movie?

Disney has really struggled with this the last few years though.

It’s interesting, because I’ve seen both the trailers for Moana 2 and the Mufasa movie, and they won’t see me for those

People like them but don’t get merch. It’s like Dune, haven’t seen much mercy for that either

I know plenty of people who adore Disney / Pixar movies, but merch isn’t really a thing for them
