Disney-Pixar is offering a new foray into the world of the acclaimed film Vice-Versa with Rêves Productions. This four-episode miniseries, imagined by Mike Jones, explores the behind-the-scenes making of fan-favorite heroine Riley's dreams. Blending animation, comedy and a mockumentary format, the series takes us into the chaotic offices of "Dreams Productions", where every memory of Riley is transformed into a dream within the constraints of time and budget. Amy Poehler, original voice of Joie, returns in this project alongside Paula Pell and Kensington Tallman, for a tale as funny as it is touching.
Rêves Productions, a mini-series based on the world of Vice-Versa, will be available on Disney+ from December 11, 2024.
Synopsis: As Riley grows, her memories require more sophisticated processing, which Joy and the other Emotions entrust to Dream Productions. At the head of this "company", the department's star director, Paula Persimmon, faces a daunting challenge: to create the young girl's next big dream. But in partnership with the vain Xeni, a director of daytime dreams who dreams of breaking into the world of nocturnal dreams, the task doesn't look easy...
Rêves Productions is aimed primarily at fans of the Vice-Versa universe, but also at those who appreciate imaginative and humorous storytelling. With its faux-documentary format, the series promises a quirky, original approach, reminiscent of works like The Office or Parks and Recreation, adapted here to an animated universe. Families will find the series entertaining and accessible, while reconnecting with endearing characters.
Those who enjoyed Vice-Versa 's blend of humor and emotional reflection will find a similar atmosphere, with an exploration of Riley's dreams and memories, a territory as yet unexplored. On the other hand, viewers looking for complex plots or more serious storytelling may find this series too light or childish.
Set between the events of Vice-Versa and Vice-Versa 2, Rêves Productions enriches the Pixar universe by focusing on an aspect often mentioned but never explored in depth: dream management. With just four episodes, the series adopts a condensed format, ideal for exploring this subject without spreading itself too thin. Written and directed by regular Pixar collaborator Mike Jones, the series has a humorous, offbeat tone, while remaining faithful to the spirit of the original film.
With Rêves Productions, Disney-Pixar is betting on a funny, inventive series that expands the beloved Vice-Versa universe. Thanks to its fresh, light-hearted approach, this spin-off is sure to appeal to both long-time fans and viewers looking for original family content.
