We didn’t get a new Pixar film in 2014 so the anticipation for this is pretty huge. It might feel like a gamble to say Inside Out is going to hit $300M (only two other Pixar films ever have, Toy Story 3 and Finding Nemo) but there are fewer groups that have had such a good summer track record as Pixar has.

…but, not as huge as this. I’ll be pretty surprised if Minions doesn’t end up being the biggest animated hit of the year.

Their popularity is bigger than ever and people have been waiting for them to get their own film. Minions will be giants.
