Yvette Nicole Brown has hit a unique career milestone after starring in Pixar’s latest hit “Inside Out 2.” This sunny sequel to Disney and Pixar’s 2015 blockbuster has shone a spotlight on Brown’s varied and illustrious career. Her résumé now includes significant roles in projects from all four of the major Disney-owned studios: Disney, Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel.
This milestone was pointed out on social platform X, where it was revealed that Brown is the first to lend her talents to projects from each of these iconic brands. Her diverse roles include a cameo in “Avengers: Endgame,” Aunt Sarah in Disney+’s “Lady and the Tramp,” Lieutenant Valeria in “Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures,” and now Coach Roberts in “Inside Out 2.” Brown’s enthusiastic response on social media—exclaiming “What?! That’s EPIC!!!”—sums up this remarkable achievement. Humorously, she likened this milestone to achieving her personal “EGOT” for the world of Disney, dubbing it the “DMPL.”
So, who exactly is Yvette Nicole Brown? Many remember her early breakout roles in shows like “Girlfriends” and “The Big House,” but she truly became a household name as Helen Dubois in Nickelodeon’s “Drake & Josh.” From there, her career flourished with appearances in beloved sitcoms such as “That’s So Raven,” “The Office,” and as Shirley Bennett in “Community.” Brown’s voice has been heard in animated series such as “Pound Puppies,” “Family Guy,” and “DC Super Hero Girls.” Her versatility and magnetic presence have made her a staple across many genres.
“Inside Out 2” picks up a few years after its predecessor, diving into the tumultuous world of Riley’s adolescence as she navigates puberty and the challenges of a weekend hockey camp. The familiar emotions of Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust are joined by a host of new ones, including Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui, creating a riotous but heartfelt adventure into Riley’s growing and complicated mind.
The film has not only continued the enchanting storytelling of its predecessor but has also shattered box office records. With a massive $295 million opening weekend, “Inside Out 2” is already closing in on the $400 million mark. Domestically, the film has quickly earned $205 million, surpassing the first movie’s opening numbers by over $60 million.
