* Bing Bong was originally an angry, gruff-voiced, violent anarchist. This Bing Bong was actively rebelling against any signs that Riley was growing up. In one deleted scene, he spies some construction workers expanding Riley's mind and immediately starts chucking bricks at them. According to director Pete Docter, the idea was that Bing Bong used violence to make sure Riley didn't grow up, all "for his own self-benefit."

The basic idea for the movie is 'Anthormophic Emotions' right beside a deep analysis of emotional psychology. With that in mind, is it all that surprising how many different concepts the movie went through to reach its final stage?

It's unknown why this was changed, although it's probably so that each character has their own individual color scheme.
* In an early draft, Fear (originally called Freddie) was supposed to be Joy's sidekick, not Sadness. One of the reasons this was changed was because it made more sense for Anger, Fear, and Disgust to exist during Riley's culture shocks. Another reason was to remove the idea of shipping between Joy and Fear—not that that hasn't stopped [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming Starnerve]] from being [[FanPreferredCouple one of the most popular ships in the fandom]].
** One of those particular Joy-Fear drafts involved [[http://screencrush.com/bill-hader-pixar-inside-out-interview/ Riley getting knocked unconscious in the woods]] and the movie mostly taking place in her head. Hader protested that worrying about Riley would really distract from the journey.
** In one article it's stated they would be paired up. Likely in the adventure pairing sense, but there may also have been a few ShipTease moments.
* The film's original plot involved Joy trying desperately to keep Riley from growing up by clinging to her childhood. Joy and Fear's journey involved them chasing after a childhood memory. According to Pete Docter, this version of Joy was too aggressive and the staff feared audiences would find her off-putting.
* Two characters named Logic and Reason were removed in order to give Riley more free will.
* There was going to be a sixth emotion, Surprise, but they decided that was already covered by Fear. Doubles as a case of ShownTheirWork, as joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust ''and'' surprise are all part of the psychological principle of "the six basic/universal emotions".
* Joy was going to be named Optimism, until Pete Docter discovered that optimism is not an emotion.
* A few other plot lines for Riley were considered, including her wanting to be the turkey in a Thanksgiving play, and her trying to decide which kind of chips to bring to a party (the story line was meant to show how small things could be a big deal inside her head).
* Originally, the film only planned to have Joy with the particle effect, only for it to prove expensive and time-consuming. They decided to scrap it. Then John Lasseter saw it and went "Great! Do it for all of them".

* There was originally a Stream of Consciousness beneath the Subconscious area. This concept made it into the ExpandedUniverse picture book ''The Bing Bong Book'', in which it flows through Imagination Land instead.

* One sketch depicted Riley's mind as a fantastic city.
* The next film in Pixar's roster was meant to be ''Newt''. However, due to problems in pre-production (i.e., ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}'' beat them to it by a longshot), the project was handed to Pete Docter, who instead decided to pitch a completely new idea.
* The movie's original name was supposed to be "Brainstorm".
* Joy and Bing Bong were also [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N9YQOXpuYHg/VZQz-_T_0jI/AAAAAAAAZLQ/hlm2fTLc0k8/s640/Engineers.jpg going to]] [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UlcOdVnV288/VZQ1GorgFyI/AAAAAAAAZLY/691eZiUsNYI/s640/Inspectors.jpg disguise themselves]] [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--SVESu0zZXQ/VZ7q03cfJaI/AAAAAAAAZQc/c0y0DwFp77Q/s640/DisguiseBlog.jpg at some points.]]
* The crew went through a lot of ideas about what Riley's conflict would be over. One of the ideas was whether or not to [[SeriousBusiness buy lime flavored chips]].
* For a long time, they couldn't decide whether Disgust is supposed to be ''disgusted'' or ''disgusting''.
* At one point, Riley's growing up was represented by new construction occurring, and Bing Bong was some kind of WellIntentionedExtremist displeased with the construction being at the expense of other areas (we see remains of that with the demolition crews in Imagination Land) and attempting to sabotage it.
* Bing Bong's dog-like ears originally came from an early concept of Bing Bong that was part chicken, dog, and pig, but mostly elephant.
* In the original draft of the film, [[spoiler: the slow deterioration of Family Island]] did not lead to [[spoiler: Joy and Bing Bong falling in]]. According to The Art Of Inside Out, [[spoiler: Goofball Island's collapse was supposed to lead to them falling down]]. The line "See you after school, monkey! We love you!" appears to be an artifact of this idea. Also in the same draft, Riley slamming the door after [[GoToYourRoom being told to go to her room]] lead to the collapse of the bridge to Headquarters collapsing, not the fall of Goofball Island.
* JustinBieber [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c0QriiSRjiM/VY9M0p3bCxI/AAAAAAAAZGs/tsbutVknsWE/s1600/BoyResearchBlog.jpg was going to have a cameo]] in the film.
* In an early draft, Fear (originally called Freddie) was supposed to be Joy's sidekick, not Sadness. One of the reasons this was changed was because it made more sense for Anger, Fear, and Disgust to exist during Riley's culture shocks. Another reason was to remove the idea of shipping between Joy and Fear—not that that hasn't stopped [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming Starnerve]] from being [[FanPreferredCouple one of the most popular ships in the fandom]].
** One of those particular Joy-Fear drafts involved [[http://screencrush.com/bill-hader-pixar-inside-out-interview/ Riley getting knocked unconscious in the woods]] and the movie mostly taking place in her head. Hader protested that worrying about Riley would really distract from the journey.
** In one article it's stated they would be paired up. Likely in the adventure pairing sense, but there may also have been a few ShipTease moments.
* The film's original plot involved Joy trying desperately to keep Riley from growing up by clinging to her childhood. Joy and Fear's journey involved them chasing after a childhood memory. According to Pete Docter, this version of Joy was too aggressive and the staff feared audiences would find her off-putting.
* Two characters named Logic and Reason were removed in order to give Riley more free will.
* There was going to be a sixth emotion, Surprise, but they decided that was already covered by Fear. Doubles as a case of ShownTheirWork, as joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust ''and'' surprise are all part of the psychological principle of "the six basic/universal emotions".
* Joy was going to be named Optimism, until Pete Docter discovered that optimism is not an emotion.
* A few other plot lines for Riley were considered, including her wanting to be the turkey in a Thanksgiving play, and her trying to decide which kind of chips to bring to a party (the story line was meant to show how small things could be a big deal inside her head).
* Originally, the film only planned to have Joy with the particle effect, only for it to prove expensive and time-consuming. They decided to scrap it. Then John Lasseter saw it and went "Great! Do it for all of them".
-->'''Production designer Ralph Eggleston''': [[MassOhCrap You could hear the core technical staff just hitting the ground]], the budget falling through the roof. But it was all good. They found a way to make it work.
* There was originally going to be more imaginary friends aside from Bing Bong, such as [[http://bingbongtheimaginary.tumblr.com/post/132681847646/heres-a-higher-quality-scan-of-that-mrs Mrs. Scribbles]], a crayon drawing, who helped with the Train of Thought railway system, and a half-Sun that was created from Riley only scribbling half a Sun on the side of a notebook page.
* There was originally a Stream of Consciousness beneath the Subconscious area. This concept made it into the ExpandedUniverse picture book ''The Bing Bong Book'', in which it flows through Imagination Land instead.
* There originally was an antagonistic force/character known as "Gloom". However, it began to resemble depression, and Docter did not want to demean those who suffered from it.
* [[http://blogs.disney.com/insider/2015/06/22/imaginary-friends-gloopy-gloom-and-scary-balloon-animals-what-was-left-out-of-inside-out/ The earliest concepts]] started with Riley waking up in Headquarters itself and meeting her emotions and another concept where Joy served as an entity that hung around Riley's shoulder.
* Sadness was originally going to have a more monstrous and furry appearance, but was changed to a more human design to make her more sympathetic and non-threatening for audiences. Additionally, the character was initially going to be more demonstrative and constantly wailing, but they decided that would not only get old quick, but that sadness was better displayed with a more somber, dialed-down characterization a la TheEeyore.
