    The big surprise with "Dream Productions" is that it would be better if it had fewer ties to "Inside Out." The voice cast behind Riley's core emotions, led by Amy Poehler as Joy, returns to their roles here, but are utilized solely to provide a running commentary on the dream broadcasts, like a G-rated "Beavis and Butt-Head."

    Dream Productions doesn’t quite have the heart or the humor of the movies, but it’s a perfectly pleasant dream regardless.

    “Inside Out 2” may have put Pixar back on top for now, but “Dream Productions” is two steps backward; not a nightmare, but not a memorable reverie either.

    It isn’t bad, just bland, forgettable and oddly lacking in the psychological insight that made the first movie so great and helped the second movie eventually succeed on a sentimental level.

    The results are middling, which would be unsurprising for any other company—but I’m always a little shocked when Pixar doesn’t knock it out of the park.
