Our opinion on the success of Dream Productions

Disney+ could make more original shows

The success of Dream Productions in itself is not surprising. In the end, Inside Out 2 is still the highest-grossing film of 2024, an honor it will likely retain later in the year. The series' good performance, however, could mean that Disney begins to adjust its creative strategy. Disney seems more focused on films in the animation sector. Dream Productions' proves that Disney+'s animated series can also be a huge hit, which could lead the studio to work more in this area.
