 On June 24 , 2015 , when asked about if there are plans for a possible sequel , Pete Docter explained that he had no current plans to create a sequel , stating , " There 's no sequel idea from me at this point , " but he also said , " Never say never . " On January 14 , 2016 , in an interview with Entertainment Weekly , Docter stated that a sequel is possible , and that he and Pixar will explore ideas for a sequel , saying : " We 'll see if anything turns up . To me it 's not as simple as : ' We liked it , so let 's make another one . ' What happens is you design these characters not so much looks @-@ wise but as they are as character and people for a story . So we 'll explore it and see what happens . " However , in a July 2016 interview , Pixar 's president Jim Morris stated that while demand for a sequel is high , the company currently has committed their resources to several original movie concepts from 2019 onward , and that a sequel to Inside Out or other films will not happen any time soon .
