Inside Out 2 and Wolfs lead this week's streaming recommendations

Fall (or spring for southern hemisphere dwellers) is officially here, and it seems Prime Video and Max have gone into hibernation mode.
Indeed, two of the world's best streaming services, who frequently appear in these types of articles, have nothing new to offer you this week. So, it's up to many of their competitors to pick up the slack on the new movies and TV shows front. They've done just that, too, with a myriad of terrific looking series and films, plus a billion-dollar-spinning animated flick, ready for you to feast your eyes on. Without further ado, then, get the lowdown on the week's best streaming suggestions.
Inside Out 2 (Disney Plus)
Inside Out 2 | Official Trailer - YouTube
Inside Out is one of the best Pixar movies of all-time, so I didn't need a second invitation to check out its sequel when it arrived in theaters in June – and boy, it did not disappoint. Pixar's latest big-budget animated flick, which reunites us with a now-teenaged Riley (plus old and new emotions alike), is nothing short of brilliant, with Inside Out 2's emotionally charged narrative and expectedly gorgeous visuals providing high-value entertainment and an incredibly relatable story in equal measure.
A wonderful return to form for the under-pressure studio, you can expect to see Inside Out 2, which debuted on Disney Plus this Wednesday (September 25), feels like a shoo-in for our best Disney Plus movies list. Although, given the recent allegations made by former Pixar employees about working conditions at the Disney subsidiary, I'm sure there'll be some anger, sadness, and anxiety over its inclusion.

Wolfs (Apple TV Plus)
WOLFS — Official Trailer | Apple TV+ - YouTube
Wolfs has been one of my most-anticipated Apple Movie Originals since I first saw George Clooney and Brad Pitt reunite in the hitman buddy comedy movie's trailer in May. I haven't seen them together since Burn After Reading was released in 2008, which is a shame because the pair have charming on-screen chemistry – I'd recommend also watching them in the Ocean's Eleven trilogy, which is a fantastic series of heist films (take my advice and skip Ocean's 8).
In Wolfs, Clooney and Pitt play professional fixers who are forced to team up on a job, which leads to a spiralling series of events that make for an unexpected evening. The movie released in theaters last week, but it's already available to stream on Apple TV Plus, too. It currently has 72% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it's unlikely to land a place on our best Apple TV Plus movies guide, but that could change as more reviews come in.
