4	Shout Outs in ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut''.
5
6	* The control station is one to Disney's own ''WesternAnimation/ReasonAndEmotion'' and ''Ride/CraniumCommand'', the latter of which Pete Docter worked on animation for early in his career.
7	* According to the director, characters and environments in Riley's head incorporate elements of animation masters of the past, including [[Creator/DisneysNineOldMen Milt Kahl]], Creator/ChuckJones and Creator/TexAvery.
8	* When Riley has her first "nightmare" after moving to San Francisco, the OminousPipeOrgan music that can be heard in the background is from the pre-show of ''Ride/TheHauntedMansion''.
9	** The rat looks very similar to Remy from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}''.
10	* The control center inside Riley's mom is a parody of talk show sets, mainly ''Series/TheView''.
11	* When Joy and Sadness are passing through Imagination Land, a board game called "Find Me" with a cartoon [[Franchise/FindingNemo Nemo]] on it can be seen.
12	* During the dream production sequence, they use a [[Creator/SteveJobs reality distortion filter]].
13	* [[Film/{{Chinatown}} "Forget it, Jake. It's Cloudtown."]]
14	* Joy's look was inspired by [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Tinker Bell]].
15	** ''Fairies have to be one thing or the other because, being so small, they unfortunately have room for only one feeling at a time.'' Replace "faries" with "children" and you get a pretty good representation of Riley's predicament.
16	* The Dreams Productions movie poster of "I'm Falling for a Very Long Time into a Pit" is based off of the classic film poster for ''Film/{{Vertigo}}''.
17	* At the end of the film, Sadness mentions a "[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga tragic vampire romance]]" island.
18	* In the Brazilian version of the movie, when Joy asks Sadness what the latter likes, she says she likes [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 that movie where the father of the little lion dies]].
19	** In the original, it's "that funny movie where the dog dies", which could either refer to the classic ''Film/OldYeller'' or ''Film/MarleyAndMe''.
20	* Also in the Brazilian version, the ShoutOut of "[[Film/{{Chinatown}} Forget it Jake, it's Cloudtown]]" is translated as "Forget it. It... faded away". The inflection and phrasing, combined with the dramatic glass pull, makes one think of [[Series/CSIMiami Horatio Caine]].
21	* [[spoiler:Bing Bong noticing his hand fading away]] is a reference to ''Film/BackToTheFuture1''.
22	* When Fear is watching the dream, there's a shot with him in the corner that looks like an episode of [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]. He even makes a few riffs.
23	* There are also a few nods to ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie''. First, the way the memory spheres in Long Term Memory are arranged look similar to the way the bottles in the Secretary of Night's bottle room, Bing Bong has a theme song that sounds similar to Mumfie's, and like Mumfie, [[spoiler: he sacrifices himself to save a friend, the only exception being that Mumfie was put in the holding cell and then rescued as a result, while Bing Bong faded away]].
24	* The bakery that only serves broccoli pizza is named [[Literature/EastOfEden Yeast of Eden]].
25	* The scene with the two guards discussing whose hat belongs to whom while guarding the vault containing those things of which Riley is most scared is a nod to the hat-swapping scene between Vladimir and Estragon from Samuel Beckett's play ''Theatre/WaitingForGodot''.
26	* In a FreezeFrameBonus during the credits, a locksmith is advertising "[[Franchise/SherlockHolmes Sure Locks for Homes]]".
27	* When Bing Bong says "Hey, look! There's the train!" after the scene where he is comforted by Sadness, you can see a painting of [[Ride/JourneyIntoImagination Figment]] in a pile of rubble.
28	* The castle in Imagination Land (pictured above) looks very similar to the Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom. Imagination Land itself looks like a little Disneyland.
29	* While the custodians clean up orbs containing Riley's piano lessons, the two songs that get salvaged are [[Film/{{Big}} "Chopsticks" and "Heart and Soul"]].
