Inside Out 2 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2024 Disney/Pixar film of the same name. The original score is composed by Andrea Datzman, making her the first woman to score a Pixar feature film. The scoring was held at Warner Bros. Eastwood Scoring Stage. The album was released by Walt Disney Records on June 14, 2024, the same day as the film's theatrical release.

Background[edit]

In March 2024, it was reported that Andrea Datzman would compose Inside Out 2's score, taking over for Michael Giacchino who composed the first film.[1] Inside Out 2 marks the first Pixar feature film to be scored by a woman.[2][3] Datzman previously composed the music for Pixar's short Carl's Date (2023) and co-scored the studio's animated shorts series Dug Days (2021) with Curtis Green.[1] Several of Giacchino's original themes from the first Inside Out are utilized in the score.[4][3] The scoring was held at Warner Bros. Eastwood Scoring Stage.[4] The soundtrack album was released by Walt Disney Records on June 14, 2024, the same day as the film's theatrical release.[5]

Reception[edit]

In a review of the film for The Hollywood Reporter, David Rooney said that "The spirited score by Andrea Datzman makes everything pop even more."[6] Ross Bomaine of Collider called the score "tremendous", adding that it builds upon Giacchino's work in "subtle and brilliant ways."[7] Christian Clemmensen of Filmtracks gave the score a 3 out of 5 star rating. They wrote, "Overall, Datzman's sequel score is an intelligent advancement of the first score's style and narrative, and your appreciation for the music for Inside Out 2 on album will largely depend upon your level of engagement with the first score's similar style."[8] Oscar Jacks of Screenaholics praised the score's ability to musically portray anxiety.[9] Several critics also opined that while the score had its strong suits, it paled in comparison Giacchino's work in the original film.[10][11][12] Matthew Stogdon of The Red Right Hand Movie Reviews described the score as safe in comparison to the original, and said "Michael Giacchino’s themes gave us a Peter And The Wolf level of expressive leitmotifs and assigned instruments for each emotion. And while these are largely back, they have become somewhat ambient and pedestrian."[12]
