| 9 | Characters from Creator/{{Pixar}}'s films ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' and ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut2''. '''Beware of unmarked spoilers'''. |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 12 | |
| 13 | !!The Andersen Family |
| 14 | |
| 15 | [[folder:Riley Andersen]] |
| 16 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Inside_Out_1.png]] |
| 17 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Kaitlyn Dias (first film), Lola Cooley (as a toddler), Mary Gibbs (screams and cries recycled from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1''), Kensington Tallman (second film) |
| 18 | |
| 19 | One of the protagonists of ''Inside Out'' (alongside her emotions), who has to adjust to a new chapter in her life when her family moves from the Midwest to San Francisco. |
| 20 | ----- |
| 21 | * AfraidOfClowns: She seems to be deeply afraid of clowns, as there is a MonsterClown named Jangles who is locked up in the darkest depths of her subconscious. It's said she sometimes has nightmares about him, and his mere presence is enough to wake her up. It's implied that this fear comes from a particularly traumatizing birthday party, where Jangles was actually a NonIronicClown, but Riley was simply too afraid to realize this. |
| 22 | * BreakTheCutie: She goes through this when her family leaves Minnesota, [[spoiler:culminating in her decision to run away and try to return. Ultimately, she is able to confide in her parents and becomes a stronger person as a result]]. |
| 23 | * CharacterDevelopment: Riley evolves as a character through the movie, both directly seen and experienced by her emotions. [[spoiler:By the end of the film Riley has developed into a more emotionally complex person as a result of her emotional crisis, which is symbolized by the new control panel the emotions use as well as the memory orbs now seen possessing multiple colors.]] |
| 24 | * CheerfulChild: Was this when she was younger. She was always smiling and had boundless energy. |
| 25 | * ChildhoodFriends: Has been best friends with Meg since they were toddlers. |
| 26 | * ClothingReflectsPersonality: Wears darker clothing as the film progresses, reflecting her emotional state. |
| 27 | * TheCutie: Growing up she's portrayed as an adorable, upbeat child with a goofy side. |
| 28 | * DaddysGirl: In the family scenes and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c4MvmGyGUM&ab_channel=PixarCentral a couple of Clorox commercials]], it's implied that she is closer to her father. Note also that Mr. Andersen is a key presence in several of the core memories she possesses. |
| 29 | * DatingWhatDaddyHates: Downplayed. In ''Riley's First Date?,'' she brings home a boy named Jordan, who her father is extremely suspicious of (although it's implied that he would disapprove of ''any'' boy who came to their house, being a BoyfriendBlockingDad and all). Eventually, Riley's dad warms up to Jordan when he finds out that they both like {{Music/ACDC}} |
| 30 | * DesperatePleaForHome: After deciding [[spoiler:not to run away from her new home]], Riley tearfully confesses to her parents that she wants to return to her old home in Minnesota. She expects them not to understand, but they do and comfort her. |
| 31 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: Riley has hated broccoli ever since Disgust first turned her off from it as a toddler. |
| 32 | * EmotionlessGirl: [[spoiler:Becomes this in the film's pre-climax act; losing Joy, Sadness, and her core memories causes her to emotionally shut down. Joy, Fear, Disgust and Anger cannot influence her. Fortunately, it doesn't last.]] |
| 33 | * FamilyThemeNaming: Notably averted with "Riley". Her parents who are [[AllThereInTheManual named in the Essential Guide]] are Bill and Jill. |
| 34 | * GirlishPigtails: As a toddler and young child, she often wears her hair in pigtails. |
| 35 | * HairTriggerTemper: She has a rather short temper due to the stress of moving, and Joy not being around. |
| 36 | * HeroicBSOD: Due to the stress of moving and Joy's absence, Riley is very depressed for much of the movie. Becomes an almost literal BSOD near the end, [[spoiler:when the idea of running away has taken over her mind and shut down the console]]. |
| 37 | * HollywoodGenetics: She did not inherit the brown hair and eye colors of her parents, and is somehow a blue-eyed blonde. She does however inherit her mom's ponytail for the second film, showing she will take after her mom's appearance. |
| 38 | * InnocentBlueEyes: They reflect her childlike innocence when she was younger. |
| 39 | * LovableJock: An active hockey player on her team (in both her former and current hometown) and is a well-behaved, fun-loving girl. |
| 40 | * NakedPeopleAreFunny: The Core Memory forming the basis of Goofball Island was one of her running through the house as a toddler without any clothes on. |
| 41 | * NiceGirl: Riley is chipper, fun-loving, upbeat, honest, cheerful (but prone to outbursts of anger), optimistic, sensitive, and sentimental. |
| 42 | * PassionateSportsGirl: Riley has loved ice hockey ever since she was little, and has a personality island dedicated to it. |
| 43 | * ThePollyanna: With her mindset primarily controlled by Joy, Riley tends to look on the bright side. |
| 44 | * PrincessPhase: She apparently had one when she was younger, but has long since grown out of it, as seen when the mind workers are throwing out her memories of the name of every Cutie Pie Princess doll. |
| 45 | * RageQuit: While in San Francisco, she tries out for a hockey team, but can't focus and ends up falling on the ice. Since Anger is controlling her mind at the time, she gets frustrated and gives up. |
| 46 | * TheRunaway: [[spoiler:Anger puts this idea in her head near the end of the film, reasoning that they can create new core memories by going back to Minnesota. Joy and Sadness show up at the last second to subvert it.]] |
| 47 | * ShipTease: Jordan is speechless when he first meets her, and a post-film short has Riley's parents worrying they might be going out [[spoiler:(except, they're not)]]. |
| 48 | * StepfordSmiler: It's eventually revealed [[spoiler:this is the ''real'' reason Sadness never is assigned a job; Riley believes she should never be sad for her parents' sake.]] |
| 49 | * StockAudioClip: As a toddler, some of her babbles, screams, and cries are recycled from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'' |
| 50 | * TomboyishPonytail: Sports this look as shown in ''Inside Out 2'', which hints she's starting to take more after her mom in terms of appearances. |
| 51 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's a pre-teen girl who plays hockey, which is known for being a very rough sport, and she tends to wear pants rather than skirts or dresses. However, she has butterfly curtains in her room, dreams about rainbow unicorns, and eventually gains an interest in {{Boy Band}}s, fashion, and [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga "tragic vampire romance" novels]] offscreen. As a little girl, she also liked Cutie Pie Princess dolls and could remember the names of each one. |
| 52 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: |
| 53 | ** Pizza; it's literally the first thing she asks for when she moves to San Francisco. |
| 54 | ** She seems to like French fries enough that there's an entire section of Imagination Land dedicated to French Fry Forest. |
| 55 | * {{Tritagonist}}: The plot primarily focuses on her emotional turmoil alongside Joy and Sadness' developing relationship. Technically you can say she's the main protagonist since all the characters within her head are a part of her, but in terms of the depicted personalities, this trope is more fitting. |
| 56 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: |
| 57 | ** Riley has coulrophobia (a fear of clowns) since her subconscious part of her mind contains "Jangles the Birthday Clown", which scared her as a child. |
| 58 | ** She also has arachnophobia (fear of spiders), something that is used as a "horror nightmare movie" when she's asleep. |
| 59 | ** Other things seen in the darkest regions of her subconscious include the stairs to the pitch-dark basement and Grandma's vacuum cleaner. |

| 62 | [[folder:Bill Andersen]] |
| 63 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Father.png]] |
| 64 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KyleMacLachlan |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Riley's father, who took a job in San Francisco and thus caused the family to move. |
| 67 | ----- |
| 68 | * AllThereInTheManual: Though neither of Riley's parents is named in the film, their first names are revealed in the Essential Guide. |
| 69 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: He gets the idea to show up to her hockey game in full face paint, which naturally embarrasses Riley to no end. Disgust even notes that while Riley may appreciate it, she can't let Riley show it. His wife appreciates the gesture, though. |
| 70 | * BigOlEyebrows: He has the thickest eyebrows of his family. |
| 71 | * BoyfriendBlockingDad: In ''Riley's First Date?'', he's clearly not happy about a guy trying to hang out with his daughter, and immediately decides that the kid's "not good enough for Riley". He even comes dangerously close to kicking him out of the house before finding some common ground. |
| 72 | * BumblingDad: Subverted. Despite the trailers playing it up, it's only present in one scene. When Mrs. Andersen tries to get support from her husband on asking Riley how her day was, none of his emotions were paying attention, leading him to simply repeat the question to Riley. Everywhere else in the movie, he's shown to be a perfectly normal, even above average, father. |
| 73 | * ADayInTheLimelight: He and his emotions are the central focus of the ''Riley's First Date?'' short; particularly, how [[BoyfriendBlockingDad exceptionally displeased]] he is at the prospect of said first date. |
| 74 | * DeathGlare: He gives such an effective one that Jordan would've been pissing his pants if he wasn't so mellow. Or paying attention. |
| 75 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: At least in Riley's opinion, if her "Dad's Driving Scares Me!" dream-movie poster shown as promotional material is any indication. Also forgets to use the parking brake, causing the car to roll backwards in one scene. |
| 76 | * GoodParents: Despite zoning out at the dinner table, he's shown to be a very loving and caring father to Riley. |
| 77 | * HappilyMarried: Not that they don't experience some friction at times, but he and Mrs. Andersen ultimately have a solid relationship. |
| 78 | * HiddenDepths: The ''Riley's First Date?'' short reveals that, despite his contemporary working-stiff family man lifestyle, he's a fan of AC/DC and used to play lead guitar in a garage band. A memory from that era shows him in all his long-haired grungy glory. |
| 79 | * NiceGuy: True, he may be a tad inattentive to things going on with his daughter, but this seems to be more related to his work schedule and that things were going wrong from the moment they arrived in San Francisco, and what comes about as a result of that business (one could view his not paying attention to Riley at dinner as zoning out after a long day's work). When he interacts with his family, and work doesn't bother him, you can tell that he really cares. |
| 80 | * PermaStubble: Sports a 5 o'clock shadow throughout the movie. |
| 81 | * UnnamedParent: Riley's parents are never named in the film itself. |
| 82 | [[/folder]] |
| 83 | |
| 84 | [[folder:Jill Andersen]] |
| 85 | [[quoteright:316:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/23F35CDF00000578-0-image-a-4_1418242893445.jpg]] |
| 86 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DianeLane |
| 87 | |
| 88 | Riley's mother. She tries to figure out why Riley seems to be behaving strangely but doesn't have much success. |
| 89 | ----- |
| 90 | |
| 91 | * AllThereInTheManual: Though neither of Riley's parents is named in the film (though Mrs. Andersen's name does appear on her credit card), their first names are revealed in the Essential Guide. |
| 92 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: She goes along with her husband's idea to show up to Riley's hockey game in full face paint. Later, when starting to probe Riley about Jordan, she litters her speech with "[[TotallyRadical cool words the kids say]]", resulting in an attempt so cringeworthy that Riley's Disgust [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere nopes right out of there]]. |
| 93 | * GoodParents: She's a loving and attentive mother, and quick to pick up on the fact that something's wrong with Riley. |
| 94 | * HappilyMarried: For the most part, though she does keep the memory of a handsome Brazilian helicopter pilot on hand for when things get rough. |
| 95 | %% * HartmanHips: Quite noticeable. |
| 96 | * HiddenDepths: It's worth noting that her head emotion is Sadness; since Sadness seems to be the leader of her emotions (but is not a weeping mess like Riley's Sadness), it is possible this is where her understanding and compassionate nature comes from as sadness represents the ability to empathize with others. |
| 97 | * LetsGetDangerous: A more friendly example. When she puts up her hair, she's about to show Riley a thing or two about playing games. |
| 98 | -->'''Joy:''' Oh! She put her hair up. We're in for it now! |
| 99 | * NiceGirl: In a similar vein to her husband; however, her problems with Riley seem to arise from Riley sending conflicting signals about things. She (and by extension, her emotions) ''knows'' something's up but she can't really help Riley because she's literally having an internal struggle. That said she tries her best to cheer Riley up by spending time with her and voicing concern. |
| 100 | * SpeakingLikeTotallyTeen: Her attempt at using "cool words the kids say" resulted in a truly cringe-worthy mixture of internet slang and ebonics. |
| 101 | -->'''Joy:''' ''...Did she just say "fo-sheezy"?'' |
| 102 | * UnnamedParent: Riley's parents are never named in the film itself (although her name is briefly visible on her debit card). |
| 103 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Joy may well have been on her way to learning her lesson all on her own until Mom tells Riley she should stay happy for her father's sake. While she means well, Riley takes it to mean that she should suppress her own sadness at having to move out of Minnesota until she has an emotional breakdown over it and tries to run away from home. |

| 106 | !!Riley's Emotions |
| 107 | !!!The First Generation |
| 108 | [[folder:In general]] |
| 109 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/inside_out.jpg]] |
| 110 | |
| 111 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of emotions, obviously. Each of them embodies their namesake. Bing Bong is the spirit of childhood. |
| 112 | * BigThinShortTrio: The only three male emotions: Embarrassment, Fear and Anger respectively. |
| 113 | * BornAsAnAdult: Though Riley starts off as a baby, her emotions don't. |
| 114 | * ColorCodedEmotions: Each emotion is associated with a color, and when an emotion is working the console, the memories generated will be colored to match that emotion. To wit: |
| 115 | ** Joy is a bright, effervescent yellow. |
| 116 | ** Sadness, of course, is blue. |
| 117 | ** Anger is a hot red. |
| 118 | ** Disgust is green. |
| 119 | ** Fear is a pale, washed-out, and slightly sickly shade of purple. |
| 120 | ** Anxiety is bright orange. |
| 121 | ** Envy is aquamarine. |
| 122 | ** Ennui is a dark, grayish indigo. |
| 123 | ** Embarrassment is blush pink. |
| 124 | * CripplingOverspecialization: By their very nature, the emotions are unable to work well when one or two of their group is missing and are required for the proper response, and they know this. The biggest problem is that none of the emotions are able to operate the console in any way other than the emotion they embody. For example, Anger cannot cause happy stimuli in Riley; he can only work with Joy to put Riley in a position where Joy can create it. During the family dinner scene, Anger and Disgust's attempts to fill in for Joy only result in hollow, sarcastic comments from Riley about how she's fine, while Fear's just comes out as a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial. |
| 125 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: The female emotions (Joy, Sadness, and Disgust). Fear can be considered a mild example, as his single hair strand is also purple, like his eyes. Except for Joy, the emotions' eye and hair color also matches their skin color. |
| 126 | * DarkIsNotEvil: The negative emotions are just as helpful and vital as the positive ones. Joy understands this, at least for Anger, Fear, and Disgust, but the main story and message of the first movie revolves around discovering that this is true for Sadness, too. |
| 127 | * ManChild: |
| 128 | ** The emotions in general, including the adults', have no understanding of events they haven't experienced no matter how obvious these "should" be. Fear, for example, is easily convinced earthquakes ''in San Francisco'' are a myth and while compiling fantasies from books (e.g. meteor) can't articulate strong reasons [[spoiler:that an 11-year-old should not run away across the country]]. The father thinks they did an excellent job disciplining an unusually unhappy Riley by yelling at her. |
| 129 | ** Riley's emotions look, sound, and generally act like adults, but they have no agenda beyond Riley's day-to-day life, so they come across as this. Toddler Riley's temper tantrum about having to eat broccoli and being denied dessert is fueled by Disgust and Anger treating those things as SeriousBusiness. Taken to eleven when Anger uses very childish logic to [[spoiler:convince the others to run away]]. This is contrasted with her parents, whose equivalent emotions are more level-headed. |
| 130 | * MeaningfulName: Seeing as they're literally emotions, they're named after what they are. |
| 131 | * TheNeedless: There's always one emotion that stays up all night for Dream Duty, and Joy and Sadness go the entirety of the movie -- roughly three days -- without needing to stop and rest, and not looking or acting any different from not doing so. In addition, the closest we see to any of them eating or drinking is Fear drinking tea a couple times (the first time the [=TripleDent=] Gum jingle is sent up, and when he's sent to do Dream Duty, plus during the introduction of one of the extra videos) and Joy reaching for some of Bing Bong's candy tears and licking her fingers after [[ItMakesSenseInContext pole-vaulting with a French Fry]]. |
| 132 | * NiceMeanAndInBetween: After Joy and Sadness are sucked out of Headquarters, Riley is left with the nervous and paranoid but gentle Fear (nice), [[HairTriggerTemper Anger]] (mean), and snarky, sassy Disgust with a heart of gold (in-between). With all five of them together, Fear is still the nice but is also joined by the optimistic fun-loving Joy, Anger is still the mean and Disgust is still the in-between but also joined by Sadness, who is very gloomy and cynical but also wants to be a helpful part in Riley's life. |
| 133 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Unlike every other character's emotions, Riley's emotions do not share any notable physical traits with her (i.e., how her dad's emotions share his mustache and suit while her mom's share her glasses and hair) and are the only set of emotions to come to have both male and female members (everyone else's emotions are the same gender as their host). |
| 134 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: All of them are easy enough to predict, considering that besides a few universal feelings (such as boredom) they will always fully act in accordance with their emotion, as long as Riley's actively feeling the emotion in question. For instance, Anger will be angry in almost every single scene he appears in, because he usually appears when she's angry; when she stops being angry, he wanders off, uninterested. [[spoiler:To that end, Joy finally breaking down in tears in the Memory Dump comes across so strongly in part because before then, there was little to no indication that it was even ''possible'' for her to feel sad.]] |
| 135 | * PinkGirlBlueBoy: Inverted. The female Sadness is blue, while the male Embarrassment is pink. |
| 136 | * RoyalWe: While controlling Riley, the emotions tend to refer to themselves as "we" and "us", instead of "I" and "me". |
| 137 | * SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: When in Headquarters, they can see what Riley sees. |
| 138 | * SharingABody: They live together inside Riley's mind (though [[http://www.slashfilm.com/pixars-inside-new-info-plot-characters-locations-plus-video-blog/ not her physical brain]]) and help guide her. |
| 139 | * StealthHiBye: Outside of Joy, this is how each emotion is introduced. As Riley first feels an emotion, they will appear from out of nowhere as if they've always been in the room. |
| 140 | * TheTeam: Joy is clearly TheLeader, dominating most of Riley's memories and running headquarters. Anger is TheBigGuy as he's stout, aggressive, and has a weaponized ability in his hotheadedness. Fear is TheSmartGuy, doing research about things to be cautious of as they approach new situations. Sadness and Disgust trade off on TheHeart and TheLancer: Disgust is a [[LovableAlphaBitch cynical]] [[TheLancer foil]] to Joy's [[ThePollyanna relentless optimism]], and seemingly NumberTwo, while Sadness is the [[TheHeart least active, but most empathetic character]]. Alternatively, Joy and Sadness are obviously [[RedOniBlueOni direct opposites]] and Disgust is the most stereo-typically [[GirlyGirl feminine]] in a [[ValleyGirl vain fashion conscious way]]. Bing Bong is the SixthRanger as the only main character who isn't a core emotion, a latecomer in the story, and intentionally left out of promotional materials for maximum shock value. |
| 141 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: A downplayed example between Joy and Disgust. Disgust is the most feminine of the emotions, while Joy has a few masculine traits like BoyishShortHair despite being overall feminine. The scene where the two fought over Riley dropping a grape and the 5-second rule highlighted this, as Joy was okay with Riley doing something gross, much to the, well... disgust of Disgust. |
| 142 | * TownGirls: Joy is a bossy, fun-loving GenkiGirl with BoyishShortHair who goes barefoot and gets enthusiastic about ice skating (butch), [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak though she does wear a simple dress]]. Disgust is a snotty fashionista with high standards and impeccable taste (femme), while Sadness is a bookish and melancholy DorkInASweater who likes tragic vampire romance novels (neither). |
| 143 | * TrueCompanions: They are close like a family and really care for each other and for Riley. |
| 144 | * UndyingLoyalty: Towards Riley, being born from and a part of her mind. |
| 145 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Judging from the reaction that Joy and Sadness had from their trek through the Subconscious, it would seem that all the emotions are scared of the same things that Riley is, including broccoli, her grandmother's vacuum cleaner, and clowns. |
| 146 | [[/folder]] |
| 147 | |
| 148 | [[folder:Joy]] |
| 149 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/inside_out_joy_transparent.png]] |
| 150 | [[caption-width-right:350:''"Think positive!"'']] |
| 151 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AmyPoehler (films), Creator/KateHiggins (tie-in material) |
| 152 | |
| 153 | Considering herself to be the de facto leader of the emotions, Joy's goal has always been to make sure Riley stays happy. She is lighthearted, optimistic, and determined to find the fun in every situation. Joy sees challenges in Riley's life as opportunities, and the less happy moments as hiccups on the way back to something great. As long as Riley is happy, so is Joy. WordOfGod states that her performance model is a star. [[invoked]] |
| 154 | ----- |
| 155 | * ActorAllusion: She's basically [[Series/ParksAndRecreation Leslie Knope]] with a pixie haircut. (Aggressively happy, even sometimes when [[StepfordSmiler it isn't warranted]]; holds a bureaucratic leadership job; tends to steamroll over her friends and colleagues, and assume she knows what's best for them.) |
| 156 | * AerithAndBob: Mainly due to happenstance, as Joy is an actual given name, which makes her the only emotion with a normal-sounding name. |
| 157 | * BarefootLoon: Downplayed. She is the only emotion that doesn't wear shoes, fitting her hyper, exuberant personality. |
| 158 | * BecomeARealBoy: It's subtly implied throughout the movie that Joy dreams of becoming human and lives through Riley to do so. She always keeps Riley happy regardless of whether it's actually healthy for the latter, and one scene has her mimicking Riley's ice skating. Taken even further in concepts for her room, which features drawings of her doing ballet and another saying "Me & Mom". |
| 159 | * BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Downplayed, but in Joy's mind, Happiness is Good and Sadness is Bad (perhaps {{Justified|Trope}}, as she is only mentally eleven). She accepts that Anger, Fear and Disgust are important from time to time in order to keep Riley safe, but at the start of the movie, she doesn't understand what Sadness is for other than making Riley miserable. Most of the movie is about her growing out of this attitude. |
| 160 | * BlueIsHeroic: Her hair is blue and she's the protagonist. |
| 161 | * BreakTheCutie: Gets hit with this ''hard'' when [[spoiler:she lands in the memory dump. Once she finds an old memory of how Riley used to stick her tongue out when she drew, as well as the core memory Sadness created, she just falls apart.]] |
| 162 | -->'''Joy:''' [[spoiler:I just wanted Riley to be happy, [[ItsAllMyFault and now...]] ''[begins to cry]'']] |
| 163 | * CharacterDevelopment: Joy learns that endless happiness isn't always the solution, and that feeling sad isn't always bad and can be an important part of emotionally processing a problem in order to be able to fix it. |
| 164 | * ControlFreak: Joy's the boss in Riley's mind, and she places herself in charge of everything in HQ. More subtly, all the core memories are shown to be joy memories, which she -- [[BlatantLies not to brag]] -- takes considerable pride in. Considering those are the foundation of who Riley is, that means she alone was controlling who Riley is [[spoiler:which comes to bite back afterwards, since without her there is absolutely nothing to fuel the core memories, causing them to fall apart]]. While the events of the movie do demonstrate that Joy plays an essential part in Riley's consciousness, the lesson she comes to learn is that it's okay and even necessary for her to step back from time to time and let the others take control. |
| 165 | * CripplingOverspecialization: |
| 166 | ** She is accustomed to happiness, and ONLY happiness, and as such she has a tough time with things not related to it, especially Sadness (her polar opposite). Her being unable to deal with sadness is what actually kicks off the plot. |
| 167 | ** In another way, she is the only one to even make core memories. [[spoiler: The crippling bit comes when she is away and the other emotions can't sustain them, causing Riley's personality to crumble. Literally.]] |
| 168 | ** When she and Sadness plan to wake Riley up as a means of getting back to Headquarters, she shoots down Sadness' idea of scaring her as she doesn't want to make Riley more unhappy after the awful day she's had and insists that they should 'excite' her awake -- never considering/comprehending that people don't really tend to wake up from ''happiness.'' |
| 169 | * {{Deconstruction}}: Of ''always'' attempting to be happy and optimistic like a ManicPixieDreamGirl. Sometimes it just isn't what's best for you. |
| 170 | * {{Determinator}}: Joy will never give up trying to do what she thinks is best for Riley, and is not one to stay in a HeroicBSOD for long. |
| 171 | * EmergingFromTheShadows: How she first appears. |
| 172 | * FingerlessHands: More like Toeless Feet; Joy has fingers but no toes. This might apply to the other emotions, but they at least wear shoes. |
| 173 | * {{Foil}}: To Sadness. Their journey is about learning the importance of happiness and sadness. |
| 174 | * ForHappiness: Her life goal is to keep Riley happy. |
| 175 | * FunPersonified: She ''is'' the personification of happiness, after all. |
| 176 | * GenkiGirl: Even the way she moves around is very flighty and energetic, full of prancing, twirling, and dancing. |
| 177 | * GladIThoughtOfIt: She has a moment of this with Sadness's suggestion to wake Riley up (though to her credit, when they've woken her up and are on the train back to Headquarters, she does congratulate Sadness for the idea). |
| 178 | * HappyDance: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2jt8QCvuBw this clip]], she does one while trying to distract Sadness and stop her from making Riley cry during hockey practice. |
| 179 | -->Hey, look at this! I'm doing the happy dance, I'm not wearing any pants, something something France, I'm doing the happy dance, hey! |
| 180 | * TheHedonist: At first; she is being InnocentlyInsensitive to Sadness and her role in Riley's life, thinking she isn't needed. Of course, being Joy personified, she'd think that. [[spoiler:At the end of the film, she realizes that Sadness is her equal and should be treated as such, given she was the only one who could fix Riley's depression.]] |
| 181 | * HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Has one near the end, when she realizes all her efforts to keep Riley happy in the short term have caused far more harm than good.]] |
| 182 | * HeroicBSOD: Enters one after [[spoiler:falling into the memory dump (putting her at risk of being forgotten by Riley altogether) and realizing her constant meddling has ultimately hurt Riley. She [[BreakTheCutie finally loses her composure]] and starts ''crying'']]. |
| 183 | * HiddenDepths: At least in the art book where we see what her room looks like. Along with having a window to a "Happy Place" modeled after [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle's house]], there are a myriad of drawings on the wall, including one of her doing ballet and another labeled as "Me & Mom". With this combined with such actions as her miming Riley's ice skating, it's entirely possible that Joy secretly has [[BecomeARealBoy a desire to be human]]. |
| 184 | * HopeBringer: It is implied throughout the movie that the emotions do more than allow Riley to feel but are also the foundation of more complex mental states. In this instance, Joy is the foundation for hope demonstrated by the fact that Joy keeps trying to look on the bright side of things and believes that every cloud has a silver lining. |
| 185 | * InnocentBlueEyes: Joy has wide blue eyes, representing her kind attitude and constant desire to make Riley happy. |
| 186 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Her obsession with keeping Riley happy at all times causes her to unintentionally mistreat Sadness. |
| 187 | * ItsAllAboutMe: [[DownplayedTrope Rather mild case]], but still there. Joy always wants Riley to be happy, so essentially she always wants Riley to focus on ''her''. The conflict of the film is kicked off when Sadness creates a new core memory, which Joy is so opposed to that she yanks it out before it can generate a Personality Island and tries to send it to the Memory Dump, thus leading to the rest being knocked loose and being sucked through the tube. Also, if you look closely, all the core memories have been created by her. |
| 188 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: When Joy [[spoiler: gives control of Riley over to Sadness]] near the end, considering her sense of proprietorship over Riley for most of the film. |
| 189 | * JerkassToOne: While she's [[NiceGirl genuinely kind]] to everyone else, Joy goes out of her way to exclude Sadness and stops her from helping Riley under the belief that being sad would only hurt the latter. [[spoiler: This trait fades away after she realizes how truly important Sadness is to Riley's well-being.]] |
| 190 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's inconsiderate of Sadness and somewhat selfish, but she truly does want the best for Riley. |
| 191 | * LackOfEmpathy: Joy has a [[DownplayedTrope mild case of this]]. She's no [[TheSociopath sociopath]] and does care about others' well-being, but has a very hard time expressing it properly. She's unable to understand why Sadness keeps bringing up the destruction of Bing-Bong's "rocket" since he's clearly unhappy about it, and in Joy's mind unhappy is automatically bad. She simply doesn't realize (yet) that Sadness' empathy with Bing-Bong over his loss actually makes him feel better about it in the long run. |
| 192 | * TheLightfooted: She often moves by skipping and bouncing around - in contrast with Sadness's shuffle. A scene of note is the one where she imitates Riley's ice skating. |
| 193 | * MagicSkirt: Her one-piece dress stays at knee level at all times, even when she's [[spoiler:plummeting into the memory dump from a shattered recall tube]]. There is one aversion during the rocket escape, and there seems to be either censor steam or a coding error under the skirt. Justified, however, since she is an emotion and lives in Riley's mind, the laws of physics don't really apply to either her or her dress. |
| 194 | * ManicPixieDreamGirl: She is perpetually cheerful, excited, and upbeat, and is determined to make Riley the same. |
| 195 | * MyBelovedSmother: She clearly loves Riley like a mother would and only wants to ensure her happiness. [[spoiler:But this prevents Riley from gaining emotional maturity.]] |
| 196 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the Memory Dump, when she realizes that Sadness is a very important emotion and that Joy's actions have left Riley feeling emotionally lopsided and unable to cope with such a big change. |
| 197 | * NeverMyFault: After she first meets Bing Bong, Joy implies that she blames Sadness for getting them lost in Long Term Memory, in spite of the fact that Joy trying to get rid of the sad core memory was what got them there in the first place. |
| 198 | * NiceGirl: Post-CharacterDevelopment, Joy becomes a much nicer, friendlier emotion who treats all of her fellow emotions with equal respect and always does what's right for Riley regardless of her own personal feelings. |
| 199 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Joy's behavior kicks off the loss of the core memories and the displacement of her and Sadness from headquarters. Things only get better when she allows Sadness to take control when necessary. |
| 200 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Specifically designed to resemble Creator/AudreyHepburn, down to her signature "pixie" haircut. |
| 201 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: Unique among the emotions in that her hair and eyes don't match her skin color. |
| 202 | * OhCrap: When a Sad Core Memory is formed, Joy all-but freaks out and immediately purges it. |
| 203 | * PerpetualSmiler: For most of the film, in contrast to her foil, Sadness, who is a PerpetualFrowner. |
| 204 | * PhosphorEssence: She glows in a blueish light (in spite of her yellow palette), being the only emotion to do so. |
| 205 | * ThePollyanna: Not only is she perpetually happy, but she's determined to keep Riley happy 24/7. This is deconstructed, as her Pollyanna tendencies can be more myopic than beneficial. |
| 206 | * RedOniBlueOni: The extroverted, enthusiastic Red Oni to Sadness's withdrawn Blue Oni. |
| 207 | * StepfordSmiler: Though Joy is upbeat and optimistic about making Riley happy all the time, there are several instances where it's quite clear Joy is doing this to bury the [[DramaticIrony sadness within herself]]. Every time Riley experiences something depressing or disappointing, Joy becomes more and more desperate to make her happy at all costs, which continues even after she and Sadness get stranded outside of headquarters and witness the destruction of Riley's personality places. [[spoiler:It's only when she falls in the Memory Dump with little to no chance of escape that [[DespairEventHorizon she falls into despair, crying for the first time]]. And it's that moment she realizes the importance of Sadness and that she went too far in excluding Sadness.]] |
| 208 | * SupportingProtagonist: She's the main character of the film, but she and the other emotions are there for the sake of helping Riley. |
| 209 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Perceives herself as this. Though she's able to put all the others except Sadness to good use, she's averse to any of the others actually driving and creating feelings or memories. |
| 210 | * TookALevelInKindness: Her character development also leads to her treating Sadness with equal respect and losing her ItsAllAboutMe flaw. |
| 211 | * TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:Bing-Bong's Bottomless Bag, which she now owns after Bing-Bong sacrificed himself to let Joy escape the Memory Dump.]] |
| 212 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: She wants Riley to be happy, but this is at the cost of risking her becoming a StepfordSmiler who can't handle her other emotions. |
| 213 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Heights appear to be among the few things that throw Joy off her upbeat game. |

| 220 | |
| 221 | None of the other Emotions really understand what Sadness' role is. Sadness would love to be more optimistic and helpful in keeping Riley happy, but she finds it so hard to be positive. Sometimes it seems like the best thing to do is just lie on the floor and have a good cry. WordOfGod states that her performance model is a teardrop. [[invoked]] |
| 222 | ----- |
| 223 | * AccentuateTheNegative: This is her default state of being. When Joy brings up several examples of happy memories, Sadness can without fail provide a negative counterpart. |
| 224 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: {{Downplayed}}. The other emotions don't hate Sadness but they don't know how she helps Riley since her taking control only hurts Riley from their point of view. |
| 225 | * ApologizesALot: She apologizes almost every time she does ''anything,'' or anytime someone talks to her. |
| 226 | * BlackComedy: Due to being Sadness, she finds sad things enjoyable and it comes off as that. |
| 227 | -->Remember the funny movie where the dog died? |
| 228 | * BlueIsHeroic: Her skin and hair are blue and she's the {{deuteragonist}}. |
| 229 | * BlueMeansSmartOne: Sadness is the blue one of Riley's emotions. She's also a CuteBookworm who read all the Mind Manuals, which is very beneficial for her and Joy in their travel through Long-Term Memory. |
| 230 | * {{Bookworm}}: The big glasses emphasize this. She likes reading the countless manuals on the shelf that contain all the information about how to do their jobs and how the mind works, something the other emotions are implied to find rather boring. Sadness is able to navigate her and Joy through Long-Term Memory just from reading the manuals alone. |
| 231 | * ButtMonkey: Usually gets mistreated by Joy and gets blamed for everything that goes wrong. |
| 232 | * CassandraTruth: She keeps touching Riley's happy memories because she feels that there's something wrong with them even though Joy and the others keep trying to stop her. Turns out that Sadness is doing so because [[spoiler: she's the only one that implicitly understands that Riley is hurting and needs to signal that she needs help]]. |
| 233 | * TheCorruption: The reason the other emotions keep her away from the memory capsules after the move: she can turn them into sad ones. [[spoiler: Turns out this was a symptom of Riley missing Minnesota, and therefore part of Sadness's job.]] |
| 234 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Blue skin, blue eyes, blue hair. |
| 235 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Sure, she's the literal embodiment of sadness and despair. But this doesn't make her a bad person by any means. [[spoiler: Indeed, realising that she has a postive and important role in Riley's mindscape and shouldn't simply be suppressed away is the lesson both Riley (metaphorically) and Joy's (literally) have to learn over the first movie.]] |
| 236 | * DeadpanSnarker: Towards Joy's exuberant behavior. |
| 237 | -->'''Joy:''' Think positive!\ |
| 238 | '''Sadness:''' Okay. I'm positive you're gonna get lost in there. |
| 239 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: She's been Riley's longest-living emotion other than Joy. The plot inside the mind involves both her and Joy getting back to HQ, and Joy's CharacterDevelopment is realizing the benefits of having her around. |
| 240 | * TheDragAlong: Joy has to drag her across [[TheMaze Longterm Memory]]. |
| 241 | * TheEeyore: Being the personification of sadness, she is extremely negative and woeful. Most of the time, she just wants to lie on the floor and cry. She gets better, though, when the other emotions find out her true purpose. |
| 242 | * TheEmpath: Like Joy, Sadness is a foundation for more complex mental processes. It is implied by the film that sadness forms the foundation for empathy by allowing people to recognize the pain in each other and also allow them to feel pain themselves. Without sadness Riley is incapable of regret or remorse. |
| 243 | * ExtremeDoormat: She just lets Joy walk all over her and treat her as the source of all of Riley's emotional troubles. Her occasional protest indicates she isn't completely unaware of the mistreatment. |
| 244 | * FisherKing: To a mild extent: a cloud she sits on turns dark and starts pouring rain. |
| 245 | * {{Foil}}: To Joy. Their journey is about learning the importance of happiness and sadness. |
| 246 | * TheHeart: At first, Joy believed all Sadness did was causing emotional pain for Riley, but by the end, she realizes that Sadness' true job is to make other people empathize with Riley's sorrow and connect with her to cheer her up. [[spoiler:Riley can finally make up with her parents after Joy allows Sadness to take charge and Riley to open up about missing her old home.]] |
| 247 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: She [[spoiler:allows people to sympathize with Riley so she can be even happier, as well as gives her breathing space to mourn.]] |
| 248 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 249 | ** She proves to be smarter than Joy gives her credit for, considering she knows the manuals by heart and suggests many solutions to their problems when they are outside Headquarters. |
| 250 | ** Her role as an emotion is made clear by the end: [[spoiler:she is gifted with empathy and knows when to call on others if Riley needs help]]. |
| 251 | * InkSuitActor: She does look a little like Phyllis Smith, coincidentally. |
| 252 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Sad tuba or bass clarinet. Once she and Joy are out of Headquarters, it gets replaced with vibraphone and piano. |
| 253 | * TheMillstone: At first, it seems like all she does is screw up Joy's hard work keeping Riley happy. In the end, it turns out that both Joy and Sadness are equally important to Riley. |
| 254 | * MsExposition: She explains stuff she read in the manuals to Joy (and in extension the audience). |
| 255 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Feels awful about all the trouble she brings for Riley, even though she does not understand why she does what she does. (The ''Driven by Emotions'' novelization suggests that [[spoiler: the core memories are calling out to her and ''want her to touch them'', and she only wants to do what they want. "At least, that's how I felt. Didn't that mean it was true?"]]) |
| 256 | * NiceGirl: Probably the nicest emotion, as she is nothing but empathetic, caring, humble, polite, and understanding. |
| 257 | * OcularGushers: Her reaction to Joy offering her a flower in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm5qDGGqRDU this trailer]]. Also gets a case of them when she's floating away from Joy on a raincloud through Imagination Land. |
| 258 | * OnlySaneWoman: Her tendency to point out the negative means that she can find flaws in Joy's plans. It gives her more insight into situations and how other people are feeling. Sadness warns Joy not to climb on a fragile glass beam back to headquarters, which nearly falls; she also says if they want to wake Riley up, they need to scare her. She ends up pinpointing that [[spoiler: Riley is miserable about the move]]. |
| 259 | * PerpetualFrowner: As her role implies, she's perpetually sad. [[TookALevelInCheerfulness She gets better near the end]]. |
| 260 | * ProneToTears: Being the embodiment of sadness, naturally she's ''very'' sensitive. |
| 261 | * RedOniBlueOni: The withdrawn Blue Oni to Joy's extroverted, enthusiastic Red Oni. She's even colored blue! |
| 262 | %%* TheSacredDarkness: By the end of the film. |
| 263 | * ShipTease: With Embarrassment in the sequel. When he first appears in Headquarters with the other new emotions, she warmly smiles and looks up at the "big fella" while asking him who he is, and many advertisements and promos show them acting shy and bashful around one another. |
| 264 | * ShyBlueHairedGirl: She's very withdrawn and mopey, and she has blue hair. |
| 265 | * StockSoundEffect: Not used in the movie, but the same sound effect of her crying is used in two TV spots, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2jt8QCvuBw this one]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm5qDGGqRDU this one]]. |
| 266 | * TookALevelInCheerfulness: Sadness becomes more cheerful with knowing her purpose: [[spoiler: Empathy.]] |
| 267 | * WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: No one knows the positive benefits of Sadness' job, even Sadness herself, hence why Joy wants to repress her throughout most of the movie. |
| 268 | * WhatTheHellHero: Sadness gives Joy a brief, pleading one when Joy tries to stop the sad core memory. |
| 269 | * WhenSheSmiles: On the rare occasions she does smile, especially at the end of the movie, [[http://rebloggy.com/post/1k-disney-pixar-10k-sadness-inside-out-disneyedit-africant-pixaredit-insideout/132477593944 it's very cute and touching]]. |

| 274 | [[caption-width-right:350:''"Congratulations, San Francisco! You've ruined pizza!"'']] |
| 275 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LewisBlack |
| 276 | |
| 277 | Anger feels very passionately about making sure things are fair for Riley. He has a fiery spirit and tends to explode (literally) when things don't go as planned. He is quick to overreact and has little patience for life's imperfections. WordOfGod states that his performance model is a firebrick. [[invoked]] |
| 278 | ----- |
| 279 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: When Riley is a toddler, Anger flares up when he hears she's not getting any dessert if she doesn't finish her broccoli, only to immediately cool down when Dad pretends the broccoli is an airplane. |
| 280 | -->'''Anger''': Oh. Airplane. We got an airplane over here, people. |
| 281 | * BurningWithAnger: He has a tendency to do this when [[IncrediblyLamePun things heat up]]. |
| 282 | * CharactersMostHatedSong: Among the many other things that annoy Anger, the [=TripleDent=] Gum song tends to set him off the most. To his frustration, Paula and Bobby often send it up to Headquarters for a laugh. |
| 283 | -->'''Anger:''' '''''DID I ASK FOR THE GUM COMMERCIAL?!''''' |
| 284 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: While he's usually bald, when he gets really mad, he gets fire "hair" that's just as red as his eyes. |
| 285 | * TheCynic: He also reflects the pessimism in Riley's mind. Unlike Sadness, the negatives he accentuates tend to be in the future or the present, as opposed to reflections on the past. For example, his "Mom bad news train", or his prediction of how Riley's first day of school is going to go. |
| 286 | * DarkIsNotEvil: According to Lewis Black's trailer, Anger only does his actions 'because he really cares.' His main purpose is to make sure Riley stands up for herself when she's been wronged. While Anger does assist Riley, especially in moments that require quick thinking and audacity, he can accidentally make things worse. |
| 287 | * DeadpanSnarker: To a lesser extent (and less subtly) than Disgust, implying that anger is the secondary foundation for sarcasm. |
| 288 | * {{Determinator}}: Like the other emotions, Anger is the foundation for more complex mental processes. It is implied that anger is the foundation for courage, fortitude, confidence, and being willing and able to take RefugeInAudacity. This can be seen by the fact that he is constantly pushing Fear around and he acts decisively (if rashly) without hesitation. |
| 289 | -->'''Anger:''' Time to take action. |
| 290 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He's the most willing to take extreme action, yet he defers to Riley's mother just like the other emotions. After a bad first day of living in San Francisco, he's the one to tell Joy to back off and let the others work the console because he sees no reason for Riley to be happy. However, once Riley's Mom asks Riley to stay happy for her father's sake, Anger is the first one to voice his support with this change of events. [[spoiler:Later on, when he puts the idea to run away into Riley's head, he changes his mind after Riley's mom calls twice, though by then, it's out of his hands.]] |
| 291 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He often makes Riley have an outburst when she's angry, but it's implied that even he doesn't want her to blow up at Meg, her best friend in Minnesota. Even when he grabs the controls after Meg talks about already having found a new friend, Riley simply snaps, "I gotta go!" and closes out of their conversation rather than losing her temper at her. |
| 292 | * FieryRedhead: In a literal way. |
| 293 | * FlamingHair: When he gets really angry, fire comes out of his head, giving the impression of hair. |
| 294 | * HairTriggerTemper: Being anger personified, it's part of his job to get mad at virtually everything, which the other emotions have to tune down. It's {{lampshade|hanging}}d by his head bursting into flames. On top of that, he's often in a bad mood. |
| 295 | * HatesBeingTouched: Do not touch him unless you want to be punched or burned. |
| 296 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he's very irritable, he cares about Riley just as much as the other emotions; his outbursts are triggered when he feels Riley has been treated unfairly in some way. |
| 297 | * KarmaHoudini: Nearly everything that goes wrong for Riley while Joy and Sadness are away rests solely on Anger, continuously hijacking control of her, often against Fear and Disgust's best efforts to stop him, to make her lash out at others and behave impulsively. This status as the closest thing the film has to an antagonist is never really addressed. Even when he has his MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment, his exact words are "What have ''we'' done?" as though Fear and Disgust are equally to blame. |
| 298 | * {{Manchild}}: He constantly throws temper tantrums, even over the constant minor preventions. |
| 299 | * MetaCasting: Just a straight adaptation of Lewis Black's stage persona, even using his love of cursing as much as possible in a family film. Quite a few of his mannerisms are also lifted from the way Black performs, such as ending a statement through gritted teeth or using a very forceful finger point. |
| 300 | -->'''Anger:''' We should lock the door and scream that curse word we know! It's a good one! |
| 301 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Realizing he went too far [[spoiler:when Riley gets far in running away.]] |
| 302 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: It's his failure to keep his temper under control and then go wild with the control panel that causes the islands to fall apart and eventually convince Riley [[spoiler:to run away.]] |
| 303 | * TheNapoleon: The shortest of Riley's emotions, with a short fuse to match. |
| 304 | * PerpetualFrowner: You wouldn't expect the personification of anger to be smiling a lot. |
| 305 | * PlayingWithFire: The fire that comes out of his head when he lets it loose is real, [[spoiler:and Disgust uses it to punch a hole in Headquarters's window and let Joy and Sadness back in]]. |
| 306 | * RedIsHeroic: His skin is red and is one of the heroes. |
| 307 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Fear's Sensitive Guy. |
| 308 | * SeriousBusiness: As his quote indicates, almost anything that goes wrong causes immediate wrath, no matter how trivial. |
| 309 | * SirSwearsALot: {{Defied|Trope}}: He expresses a desire to swear multiple times throughout the film, but never gets the chance to. [[spoiler:When the new console is installed, he is delighted by the library of curse words he now has access to.]] This takes on a meta example as his voice actor is the famous comedian Creator/LewisBlack, who is very fond of swearing in his standup routine. |
| 310 | * SlasherSmile: When he ''does'' smile, it's a fairly evil grin. |
| 311 | * TameHisAnger: One of the bonus videos has the rest of the emotions giving him anger management lessons. Fear ends up [[ButtMonkey throttled by the neck]]. |
| 312 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: During the second half, he becomes one. While he is well-intentioned, it's his ideas that lead to the unintended destruction of the islands (making Joy and Sadness' journey back all the harder), and eventually [[spoiler:almost causes Riley to become a runaway]]. |
| 313 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He's the one to insert the idea of [[spoiler:running away from home to return to Minnesota because he has no idea how to fix what's happening to Riley's mind and sees going back as a hard fix for the situation. Upon seeing that it's just splintering Riley further, he recognizes his mistake and tries to stop it, but it's too late]]. |
| 314 | * WorstNewsJudgementEver: Throughout the movie, he's seen reading a newspaper called ''The Mind Reader'' with headlines like "No Dessert!" (when Riley is a toddler) and "Replaced! No Need For Riley!" (after Riley finds out her best friend from Minnesota already replaced her on their hockey team). |

| 321 | |
| 322 | Disgust is highly opinionated, extremely honest, and prevents Riley from getting poisoned -- both physically and socially. She keeps a careful eye on the people, places, and things that Riley comes into contact with, whether it's broccoli or last year's fashion trend. Disgust always has the best of intentions and refuses to lower her standards. WordOfGod states that her performance model is broccoli. [[invoked]] |
| 323 | ----- |
| 324 | * BeautyIsNeverTarnished: She is completely exempt from the trauma Fear and Anger endure while alone in headquarters. |
| 325 | * BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Wears the letter D on her belt. |
| 326 | * DeadpanSnarker: One of her defining traits, and it transfers into Riley when she's in control, which implies that disgust is the primary foundation for sarcasm. |
| 327 | -->'''Disgust:''' ''[in response to Joy showing the rest of the emotions a slideshow of potential new homes for Riley, one being a gingerbread house]'' Joy, for the last time, she cannot live in a cookie. |
| 328 | * EverybodyHasStandards: |
| 329 | ** Even though she agreed with Anger when [[spoiler:he suggested running away]], she was ''against'' his idea of [[spoiler:stealing Mom's credit card]]. |
| 330 | --->'''Disgust:''' [[spoiler:A [bus] ticket costs money. How do we get money?]]\ |
| 331 | '''Anger:''' [[spoiler:Mom's purse.]]\ |
| 332 | '''Disgust:''' ''[gasps]'' You wouldn't. |
| 333 | ** More broadly, this is what she represents on a positive level, being the emotion that keeps Riley from doing anything too degrading because of rash and/or bad ideas. |
| 334 | * TheFashionista: Because of her impeccable taste, she's usually in charge of helping Riley decide what to wear. |
| 335 | -->'''Disgust:''' When I'm through, Riley will look so good, the other kids will look at their own outfits and barf. |
| 336 | * GreenAndMean: Downplayed, she's not evil, but she wears green, her hair and skin are green, and she's rather snotty. |
| 337 | * GreenIsGross: She, and the memory orbs created under her influence, are green representing "disgust". |
| 338 | * HartmanHips: More noticeable due to her tendency to sway her hips while moving and stand with one hip out. |
| 339 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: Her attitude when she [[spoiler:agrees with Anger's idea to run away]]. She shows no pleasure in doing this, but agrees because she felt it was right for Riley. |
| 340 | * InkSuitActor: Very much resembles a green Creator/MindyKaling, with a similar hairstyle, eyebrows, and general facial structure. Despite the fact that Kaling doesn't return for the second film. |
| 341 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Of the LovableAlphaBitch flavor. She's snotty and snarky, giving off a snooty ValleyGirl vibe (sans accent), but exists as more of a defense system against potentially hazardous things, genuinely regards the other emotions as friends, and wants what's best for Riley. |
| 342 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Supports Anger's plan to [[spoiler:run away and go back to Minnesota]] but later, like Anger, realizes that it was a horrible mistake. |
| 343 | * ThePerfectionist: Disgust is described as having high expectations and low patience. |
| 344 | * SarcasmMode: Her typical delivery, which is transferred to Riley when she's in charge. |
| 345 | * ShownTheirWork: Disgust at first seems to be a somewhat random emotion choice to be hanging around the likes of Joy, Sadness, Anger and Fear. It turns out, however, that disgust is actually listed as one of the six basic emotions in psychology.[[note]]The sixth one, by the way, is ''Surprise'', who was scrapped and {{composite|Character}}d into Fear due to being too similar to him.[[/note]] |
| 346 | * SicklyGreenGlow: Her main color ''is'' green after all. |
| 347 | * TheSocialExpert: Like the other emotions, Disgust is responsible for more complex mental processes as well as her base emotion. She has a fantastic understanding of other people, leading to her being the most aware of how to act in certain situations in order for the ideal outcome (i.e., [[BatmanGambit frustrating Anger to the point his head spews flames and then using them to melt through the glass of Headquarters and get Joy and Sadness back inside]]). |
| 348 | * ValleyGirl: She's this and so much more thanks to deciding what's hot and what's not. |
| 349 | * VomitDiscretionShot: She has a weak stomach, and anything even the slightest bit gross will make her gag ([[MissingTrailerScene too bad it doesn't happen much in the movie proper...]]). |
| 350 | * YouAreWhatYouHate: It's pretty amusing that she was modeled after broccoli, seeing as her first appearance has her freak out over the stuff. |

| 357 | |
| 358 | Fear's main job is to protect Riley and keep her safe. He is constantly on the lookout for potential disasters and spends time evaluating the possible dangers, pitfalls, and risks involved in Riley's everyday activities. There are very few activities and events that Fear does not find to be dangerous and possibly fatal. WordOfGod states that his performance model is a raw nerve. [[invoked]] |
| 359 | |
| 360 | ----- |
| 361 | * AmusingInjuries: Getting his butt set on fire by Anger, whacking himself with a crowbar, etc. |
| 362 | * ButtMonkey: When he isn't getting abused by Anger, he suffers himself through random chance. |
| 363 | * CanNotSpitItOut: Originally Bill Hader had the idea that Fear secretly had a huge crush on Disgust, who still thought boys were gross, but it distracted too much from the ''real'' plot of the movie. There are still hints of it remaining, such as her noticing the new 'Puberty' alarm, and them sharing a Core Memory for Tragic Vampire Romance Novels. |
| 364 | * CausticCritic: When he's assigned to dream duty in Joy and Sadness' absence, it turns out he's quite sardonic in regards to the quality of the dreams he sees. The ''Driven by Emotions'' {{Novelization}} goes into more detail on this: Dream Productions [[NothingIsScarier can't produce anything that's as terrifying as what he can think up]], so he actually finds their work "relaxing viewing". |
| 365 | * TheComicallySerious: Every potential disaster he can think of, such as a meteor hitting the school, is a serious concern to him. |
| 366 | * CompositeCharacter: In a meta way. The characters were initially based on Paul Ekman's theory of six basic emotions: joy, sadness, anger, disgust, fear, and surprise. However, the director felt that fear and surprise were too similar and combined both traits into the Fear character. |
| 367 | * DeadpanSnarker: He's so used to the Dream Productions videos that he snarks about the quality and content. |
| 368 | * DisembodiedEyebrows: To the extent that when Anger knocks him away during the hockey tryouts, they remain behind and float down like feathers. Also, in one of the extra videos, Fear has a GlassSmackAndSlide against the screen as a result of being startled by Joy. His eyebrows follow in a second or so. |
| 369 | * ExpressiveHair: His one strand of hair springs upwards or droops down, depending on how frightened or upset he is. It also forms a zigzag shape if he is scared or terrified. Toward the end of the film, it even curls into a heart to reflect his happy mood. |
| 370 | * GenreSavvy: He's able to predict the plot twist of Riley's dream (that she [[NotWearingPantsDream came to school with no pants]]). |
| 371 | * LovableCoward: He's afraid of everything, panics easily, and tries to run away when things get really bad. Yet he gets along with the other emotions, and his job ''is'' to keep Riley safe. |
| 372 | * MadeOfIron: Almost nothing seems to permanently injure him, which is a good thing given what he's put through. |
| 373 | * NervousWreck: Very nervous and jumpy, as his job is to evaluate any possible danger for Riley and he sees danger ''everywhere''. The exception is when Anger sarcastically suggests that Riley can get back to Minnesota by renting an elephant to ride, Fear [[ComicallyMissingThePoint likes the notion.]] |
| 374 | * OnlySaneMan: Of the three remaining emotions, he's the one to realize that [[spoiler: running away]] is a bad idea, but the other two overrule him. This is an indicator that, like the others, Fear is the basis for more complex emotions: caution, forethought, and stress. |
| 375 | * ProperlyParanoid: The amount of abuse he's shown to take, from things hitting him through random chance to Anger beating on him, makes it hard to fault him for being so jumpy. In addition, his EstablishingCharacterMoment shows him using his foresight in a constructive manner while Disgust's and Anger's are more jokes at their expense. |
| 376 | * SarcasmBlind: Has a brief moment of this: |
| 377 | -->'''Disgust:''' So...how are we gonna get to Minnesota from here?\ |
| 378 | '''Anger:''' Well, why don't we go down to the elephant lot and rent an elephant?\ |
| 379 | '''Fear:''' Hey, that sounds nice.\ |
| 380 | '''Anger:''' WE'RE TAKING THE ''BUS'', NITWIT! |
| 381 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Anger's Manly Man. |
| 382 | * SkewedPriorities: On his list of potential disasters to befall Riley in class on her first day of school, he lists "getting called on by the teacher" third. The first two items on his list are "quicksand" and "spontaneous combustion". |
| 383 | * SpecialPersonNormalName: In the early drafts where Joy and Fear got lost, Fear wasn't named Fear (the other emotions had human names as well, as mentioned above). His name was Freddie, as noted in the Blu-Ray bonus disc's deleted scene sketch introductions. |
| 384 | * SphereEyes: Has huge, round eyes that capture a sense of fearfulness in his appearance. |
| 385 | * TroubledFetalPosition: He assumes this position after the shocking experience with the nightmare Joy and Sadness induced. |
| 386 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Fear is afraid of everything (except elephants, it seems), but clowns are one of Riley's subconscious phobias, so he particularly dreads them. |

| 397 | |
| 398 | A new emotion introduced in the second film as Riley begins puberty. |
| 399 | ---- |
| 400 | * LotsOfLuggage: Her arrival has her bringing along at least six suitcases, aka "[[VisualPun emotional baggage]]". |
| 401 | * NervousWreck: Anxiety's introduction to the other emotions is through her jittering hands and fast talking. |
| 402 | * OddNameOut: Downplayed. Out of the first four new emotions introduced in ''2'', she's the only one whose name doesn't start with with an "E". |
| 403 | * TheParanoiac: Fitting her emotion, Anxiety's job is "to plan things ahead for Riley's future". Unfortunately, her plans to better Riley's life don't always come off as beneficial to her, especially if it requires kicking the main five emotions out of Headquarters. |
| 404 | * SphereEyes: Similar to Fear, Anxiety's eyes are huge and are connected to one another. |
| 405 | * VibrantOrange: Her ColorMotif is bright orange. Unlike most examples of this trope, though, it's meant to portray her as high-strung rather than simply high-energy. |
| 406 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: In the trailer, she proposes that Riley bottle up her main five emotions (literally) to make way for her and the other three new ones because they're more "sophisticated." [[ThePollyanna Joy]] is obviously against such a thing. |
| 407 | [[/folder]] |

| 411 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyoEdebiri |
| 412 | A new emotion introduced in the second film as Riley begins puberty. |
| 413 | ---- |
| 414 | * CheerfulChild: Compared to most depictions of Envy, which would be portrayed as a slimy, bitter person who's routinely angry at someone having something they're not, Envy appears to be the official "little sister" of the group who is constantly starry-eyed at everything around her and eager to grab at and gush over whatever has her interest the most, whether it be Disgust's hair or the cool kids at Riley's school. |
| 415 | * TheCutie: Envy's design is just downright adorable, with her having big sparkly PuppyDogEyes to match. |
| 416 | * FreezeFrameBonus: In the first teaser trailer for the film, her existence is hinted at by the tagline changing to "feel-envious" for a split second. The text changes to aquamarine, with a yellow dot on the 'i' in 'envious', to match. |
| 417 | * GreenEyedMonster: She's the personification of Riley's teenage envy. Interestingly, since the color green is already taken by Disgust, Envy's color scheme appears to be teal or turquoise. Downplayed in that she handles envy by gushing over something or someone she's envious of instead of being resentful towards them. |
| 418 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Unlike all the other emotions, Envy has much larger, sparklier, more emotive eyes. |
| 419 | [[/folder]] |
| 420 | |
| 421 | [[folder:Ennui]] |
| 422 | [[quoteright:268:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/inside_out_uk_character_posters_06.jpg]] |
| 423 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AdeleExarchopoulos |
| 424 | A new emotion introduced in the second film as Riley begins puberty. |
| 425 | ---- |
| 426 | * EmoTeen: Her straight bangs, nearly hanging in her eyes, have a distinct emo style. She also only shows up once Riley hits puberty. In keeping with the stereotypes of emo fashion and general gloominess, she personifies ennui, or boredom. |
| 427 | * FreezeFrameBonus: In the first teaser trailer for the film, her existence is hinted at by the tagline changing to "feel-ennui" for a split second. The text changes to indigo, with a red dot on the 'i' in 'ennui', to match. |
| 428 | * FrenchJerk: Has a French accent, is played by a French actress and personifies Riley's apathy and boredom. |
| 429 | * GagNose: She has a long pointed nose. |
| 430 | * GloomyGray: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. As the incarnation of Riley's boredom, Ennui's color scheme is mostly dark indigo, but her skin has more of a grayish tint to it to emphasize the gloomy side of their emotion. |
| 431 | * LadyLooksLikeADude: With her long pointed nose and side hair, she looks like she could be a dude. |
| 432 | * LazyBum: {{Implied|Trope}}. On the covers for tie-in books, the Control Panel is visible on her phone's screen, implying that she's so lazy she'd rather operate the Panel remotely than get up and use it herself. Fitting, since she's meant to be an emotion that's often associated with laziness. |
| 433 | * NoodlePeople: Downplayed. While not tall, Ennui is definitely thin and her usual posture usually has her resembling a noodle. |
| 434 | * OddNameOut: The only emotion whose name isn't a common English word. |
| 435 | * PhoneaholicTeenager: Is constantly laying on the couch with her phone to her face. Judging by the trailer, she seems to be able to control the console with her phone so that she doesn't have to get up to do it. |
| 436 | * UnexplainedAccent: So, why is there a French emotion in an American girl's mind? |

| 442 | A new emotion introduced in the second film as Riley begins puberty. |
| 443 | ---- |
| 444 | * CheeryPink: {{Inverted|Trope}} -- his ColorMotif is pink, but he personifies Riley's embarrassment, which doesn't exactly scream cheerfulness. However, pink is also associated with blushing, which ''can'' happen out of embarrassment. |
| 445 | * FreezeFrameBonus: In the first teaser trailer for the film, his existence is hinted at by the tagline changing to "feel-embarrassed" for a split second. The text changes to pink to match. |
| 446 | * GagNose: He has a big round nose. When he pulls the strings of his hoodie to hide his face, his nose is still visible. |
| 447 | * GentleGiant: Embarrassment appears to be TheBigGuy to the "pubertal" emotions, with the joke apparently being that he prefers to lay low and remain unseen, but is so big that this is difficult for him. Fitting with what he represents, he's somewhat meek despite his size. |
| 448 | * TheOneGuy: While not the only male emotion ''overall'', he is notably the only male out of the four new emotions introduced in the sequel. |
| 449 | * ShipTease: With Sadness, who is uncharacteristically cheerful about meeting him, even calling him "big fella". Quite a few promos and advertisements show them acting very shy and bashful around each other as well. |
| 450 | * ShrinkingViolet: He isn't called Embarrassment for nothing, as he is shown to be nervous to greet Joy with a handshake, and constantly hides himself. |

| 456 | ---- |
| 457 | * NostalgiaFilter: Her main purpose is to make Riley enjoy the memories of her past. |
| 458 | * TheSixthRanger: Since she does not appear with Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, or Ennui when they immediately come to Headquarters, it's likely she will eventually join them at some point in the sequel. |

| 468 | |
| 469 | Bing Bong is Riley's old imaginary friend. Part cat, elephant, dolphin, and sugary pink cotton candy with a nougat center, Bing Bong isn't the brightest, but full of cheer. He wears a hobo outfit, reflecting the fact Riley no longer plays with him. |
| 470 | ----- |
| 471 | * ActOfTrueLove: [[spoiler:He pulls a HeroicSacrifice when his rocket cannot carry both him and Joy out of the Memory Dump. He does this so Joy can pull Riley out of her HeroicBSOD, despite it meaning CessationOfExistence for him]]. |
| 472 | * BigFun: He’s big, friendly and fun-loving. |
| 473 | * BreakTheCutie: His reaction when the mind workers throw his rocket into the memory dump, despite him pleading with them that he and Riley still need it. He sits by the edge of the cliff, sad and disbelieving. |
| 474 | -->'''Bing Bong:''' Riley can't be done with me... |
| 475 | * ChekhovsGunman: Well before he appears in the movie proper, one of the clips from Riley's childhood is her drawing a picture of him on the wall and singing his theme song. |
| 476 | * DeathByNewberyMedal: [[spoiler:A variation where he is no longer part of Riley's conscious life prior to the film, and his dying is part of symbolizing the completion of Riley's emotional maturity.]] |
| 477 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:He could tell from his faded arm that he would fade away in short order. Rather than continue trying until there was nothing left of him, he used his last moments to give Joy hope that they could succeed, knowing she would never abandon him willingly. Listen to his voice when he suggests another go; it's a tone of resignation to his fate]]. |
| 478 | * FadingAway: After being stranded in the Memory Dump, [[spoiler:he dies by slowly fading out of existence]]. |
| 479 | * {{Foil}}: To Joy, as both embody happier times for Riley (Joy being, well, Joy, and Bing Bong being her childhood imaginary friend). Between the two, it is Bing Bong who learns [[spoiler:to grieve first]]. While Bing Bong realizes that [[spoiler:he will disappear as Riley continues to grow, Joy learns that making Riley happy doesn't have to mean her being happy all the time and develops to accommodate new kinds of emotions]]. |
| 480 | * ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:Literally. He's never mentioned again after he fades in the Memory Dump, causing Riley to forget about him permanently.]] |
| 481 | * GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Unspoken, but he senses that his departure will be the best for Riley and he takes his "death" in stride.]] |
| 482 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Wears nothing but a vest, bow tie, fingerless gloves, and a bowler hat. |
| 483 | * HeroicBSOD: When his rocket is thrown in the dump, signifying Riley is beginning to forget about him. |
| 484 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Chooses to stay behind in the Memory Dump so that Joy can escape on his rocket.]] |
| 485 | * HoboGloves: Most of his gloves' fingers are missing. This helps to show how falling out of importance with Riley has affected him. |
| 486 | * ImaginaryFriend: He was Riley's imaginary friend when she was younger. |
| 487 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Sacrifices himself to make sure Joy and the Core Memories make it out of the dump so Joy can save Riley.]] |
| 488 | * {{Keet}}: Bing Bong is usually very bouncy, cheerful, and talkative. [[spoiler:makes it all the more sad when he isn’t leading up to his eventual HeroicSacrifice...]] |
| 489 | * KindheartedSimpleton: He's not the brightest, but he's very nice and he does his best to help Joy and Sadness get back to Headquarters. The simpleton part is justified in that he stopped being developed by Riley very early into her childhood after she more or less forgot about him, while the other aspects of Riley's mind have been developed for 11 years. |
| 490 | * LastRequest: [[spoiler:"Take her to the moon for me, okay?"]] |
| 491 | * MixAndMatchCritters: He's part elephant, part cat, part cotton candy, and can squeal like a dolphin. Justified in that he was created by and exists in the mind of an imaginative young girl. |
| 492 | -->'''Bing Bong:''' You gotta remember when Riley was three, animals were all the rage. The cow goes "Moo." The horse goes "Neigh." [[RhymesOnADime That's all people talked about that day.]] |
| 493 | * NeverLearnedToRead: He can't read at all aside from identifying letters, which gets him, Joy and Sadness into trouble when he leads them into an area that says "Danger" which he insists is a shortcut. Justified because Riley created him when she was a toddler, before ''she'' could read. |
| 494 | * NiceGuy: He's sweet-natured, and is willing to [[spoiler:pull off a HeroicSacrifice to let Joy get out of the Memory Dump.]] |
| 495 | * NoObjectPermanence: Implied, since at one point he "hides" by just sitting down and covering his eyes. Justified since he was imagined by Riley at an age when her own object permanence was still developing. |
| 496 | * OcularGushers: He cries streams of candy when he's upset. |
| 497 | * OneLastSong: [[spoiler:Mixed with DeathSong -- he sings his little ditty with Joy before he disappears forever. {{Justified|Trope}} because that ditty powers the rocket that Joy is using to escape the Memory Dump.]] |
| 498 | * SadClown: Despite having been all but forgotten, Bing Bong remains hopeful that Riley will remember him and copes with his situation by stealing happy memories and telling jokes. |
| 499 | * SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Only seen in one or two trailers and rarely featured in promotional materials (such as Kellogg's Inside Out fruit snacks), despite playing a major role in the film. Done intentionally, with Richard Kind's blessing, to keep his character a surprise. |
| 500 | * StockAnimalDiet: In real life, elephants love sugar. Bing Bong cries candy and loves caramel the best. |
| 501 | * SweetTooth: He suggests Joy and Sadness help themselves to his candy tears when he starts crying, specifically the caramels. |
| 502 | * ThemeMusicPowerUp: Not Bing Bong himself, but his wagon is powered by singing the song Riley made up about him as a toddler. |
| 503 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Riley, hence why he [[spoiler:pulls a HeroicSacrifice to save her from her depression. When he said he would die for her, he meant it]]. |
| 504 | * VirtuousCharacterCopy: He resembles [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 Lotso-Huggin' Bear]], given that they're both cutesy pink characters who were incredibly devoted to a young girl, were separated from her, and tried to return to her only to find she no longer had any place for them. However, while Lotso became bitter and vicious as a result, Bing-Bong still loves Riley even though he knows he can never be part of her life again, and [[spoiler:he sacrifices himself so Joy can save her from her depression.]] |

| 511 | ---- |
| 512 | * BigEater: When Joy, Bing-Bong, and Sadness are causing chaos in Dream Productions, the director orders the cameraman to pan away, and the camera turns to Rainbow Unicorn, carrying a plate full of cupcakes, drinks, and other snacks. |
| 513 | * RainbowsAndUnicorns: Her name is Rainbow Unicorn, and she has a mane of many colors. |
| 514 | * SweetTooth: If that huge load of cupcakes she was going to eat is any indication, yes. |

| 524 | * AnthropomorphicFood: They look like walking jellybeans or gumdrops. |
| 525 | * BadBadActing: In Dream Productions, the actress playing Riley’s teacher speaks in a stilted manner and reads all her lines off cue cards. |
| 526 | * BeAsUnhelpfulAsPossible: Despite being responsible for making Riley’s brain work, they frequently do things that aren't good for her, such as giving her an unpleasant dream when she’s already anxious about moving to San Francisco, keeping the emotions from getting back to headquarters, throwing out old memories she supposedly doesn’t need, or [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking making her remember the gum commercial at the most inconvenient times.]] TruthInTelevision — who ''hasn’t'' felt like their brain was working against them at some point? |
| 527 | * ADayInTheLimelight: In the tie-in book ''VIP Tour,'' a mind worker named Gail gets a tour of Imagination Land from Bing Bong. |
| 528 | * DoAnythingSoldier: They basically take care of everything in the mind world. They’re seen functioning as cops, security guards, builders, construction workers, engineers, actors, stagehands, directors, train drivers, and more. |
| 529 | * FourFingeredHands: While Riley's emotions, Bing Bong, and Jangles all have five fingers, the mind workers only have four. |

| 554 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Josh Cooley |
| 555 | |
| 556 | One of Riley's worst fears, a clown that was hired for a cousin's birthday party (according to the ''Driven by Emotions'' {{Novelization}}). He sleeps in the Subconscious, the locked area that contains all the things Riley is afraid of. |
| 557 | ---- |
| 558 | * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: He positively ''towers'' over Joy, Sadness, and Bing Bong. |
| 559 | * AxCrazy: When he wakes up and hears about a birthday party (actually a BatmanGambit by Joy and Sadness to get them out of the Subconscious dungeon), he immediately starts smashing through everything in his way to get to it. |
| 560 | * BigBad: Zigzagged. Though Jangles is in no way the main villain of the film (it has NoAntagonist, as the conflict is caused by the Emotions learning how to work together), he is often treated this way in merchandising and other Disney media. |
| 561 | * CardboardPrison: He tears through the door to Riley's subconscious like it's made of wet paper. |
| 562 | * CarryABigStick: His giant mallet can smash through the doors of the Subconscious in a single hit. |

| 566 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Unusually for a MonsterClown, his voice is very deep. [[spoiler:This is because Riley remembers the real Jangles as a big monster. In real life, his voice isn't frightening at all.]] |
| 567 | * FallenOnHardTimesJob: [[spoiler:His real life counterpart wanted to be an actor and went to drama school for six years, and hates having to work as a birthday party clown to make ends meet.]] |
| 568 | * HiddenDepths: During the credits, [[spoiler:his real-world counterpart's emotions lament that he spent six years of drama school to end up in a dead-end job]]. |
| 569 | * LargeHam: Being a clown, he ''loves'' to overact. |
| 570 | * KnightOfCerebus: The scene where he appears gets any and all lightheartedness sucked out of it once he's woken up, and although he no longer plays a part in the film before the credits afterwards, his part in waking Riley up kicks off the serious third act of the film where [[spoiler:Anger gets Riley to run away.]] |
| 571 | * MonsterClown: He's enormous, crazy, very loud, and carries a giant wooden mallet. [[spoiler:The ''real'' Jangles is more of a Non-Ironic Clown who is NOT fond of his job.]] |
| 572 | * NoInsideVoice: This guy '''SHOUTS''' most of his lines. |
| 573 | * NonIronicClown: [[spoiler:What he is outside of Riley's mind, with his emotions being depressed over his line of work.]] |
| 574 | * ObliviouslyEvil: He surprisingly doesn't come off as all that malicious, just really excited about getting to be at birthday parties and with no idea how scary others find him. |
| 575 | * ThePursuingNightmare: Jangles the Clown is one of Riley's biggest fears, hence why he's locked up in the darkest depths of Riley's subconscious. She will sometimes have nightmares about him, and whenever she does, he'll always chase after her and she'll wake up shortly after. Joy and Sadness exploit this in order to try to wake her up by luring Jangles to the dream studio, and once he gets there, it doesn't take very long for Riley to wake up. |
| 576 | * [[invoked]]RonTheDeathEater: In real life, he's just a normal clown. But Riley's fear of clowns (if not just him) demonizes him in her mind. |
| 577 | * SealedEvilInACan: He's asleep at the bottom of the Subconscious until Joy and Sadness let him loose to scare Riley awake. [[spoiler:This backfires when it convinces the other Emotions to make Riley run away]]. |
| 578 | * SweetTooth: He eats Bing Bong's candy tears, and the resultant path of discarded wrappers leads Joy and Sadness to the two of them. |

| 583 | [[caption-width-right:350:''"I would die for Riley!"'']] |
| 584 | |
| 585 | A representation of, well, Riley's imaginary boyfriend. He's "created" in Imagination Land. |
| 586 | ---- |
| 587 | * BrokenRecord: "I would die for Riley! I would die for Riley! I would die for Riley! I would die for Riley!" His only other line (aside from "For Riley!") is to explain that he lives in Canada. |
| 588 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "I would die for Riley." Or just "For Riley." |
| 589 | * ChekhovsGunman: Appears briefly when Joy and Sadness are in Imagination Land, but doesn't become important until [[spoiler:Riley is running away and succumbing to depression]]. |
| 590 | * FlatCharacter: {{Exaggerated|Trope}} -- he's {{pretty|Boy}}, he's [[GirlfriendInCanada from Canada]], and he [[UndyingLoyalty would die for Riley]]. And that's it, he has literally no other traits. |
| 591 | * GirlfriendInCanada: He [[ImaginaryFriend doesn't actually exist]], and one of his very few lines is pointing out that he lives in Canada. |
| 592 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Given what happens to everything that falls into the Memory Dump, he and his copies do indeed die for Riley.]] |
| 593 | * ImaginaryFriend: Well, boyfriend, but he still counts since he doesn't actually exist outside of Riley's MentalWorld. |
| 594 | * MrFanservice: Invoked. He's based on Riley's idea of a handsome boy. |
| 595 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The creators say his appearance is based on [[Music/OneDirection Harry Styles]]. This also subtly explains where Riley's interest in boy bands came from. |
| 596 | * PrettyBoy: Looks as though he stepped out of a boy band (which he [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed kind of did]]). |
| 597 | * UndyingLoyalty: Parodied. Once again, he would die for Riley! |

| 605 | |
| 606 | ->''"Good job, gentlemen! That could have been a disaster!"'' |
| 607 | -->--'''Mr. Andersen's Anger''' |
| 608 | |
| 609 | A set of five emotions that reside in Mr. Andersen's mind. Their Headquarters is designed after a man cave/military HQ. They're led by Anger. |
| 610 | ---- |
| 611 | * AscendedExtra: They're the protagonists of ''Riley's First Date?'' |
| 612 | * BoyfriendBlockingDad: In ''Riley's First Date?'', he's clearly not happy about a guy trying to hang out with his daughter, and immediately decides that the kid's "not good enough for Riley". He even comes dangerously close to kicking him out of the house before finding some common ground. |
| 613 | -->'''Dad's Anger:''' I know what you're doing here, Jordan. You don't think that I know what you know, but I know, you little punk!\ |
| 614 | '''Dad's Fear:''' He's not good enough for Riley! ''No one is!''\ |
| 615 | '''Dad's Sadness:''' Go back to jail!\ |
| 616 | '''Dad's Anger:''' What are you looking for, Jordan? Something to steal?\ |
| 617 | '''Dad's Sadness:''' Like our daughter. |
| 618 | * BumblingDad: They are the ones who cause Mr. Andersen to be this in the dinner scene since they were busy daydreaming about sports in the middle of family dinner and conversation. |
| 619 | * BurningWithAnger: Anger often averts this. Even if he's annoyed with Riley's disrespectful attitude, he keeps his cool and delivers a firm response rather than overreacting. He does, however, flare up when he interprets Jordan as "backtalking" to them. |
| 620 | * CreatorCameo: Dad's Anger is voiced by the movie's director, Pete Docter. |
| 621 | * CruelToBeKind: It's the reason they "put the foot down". It's probably a good thing they did since Riley was being ruled by her Anger at the time. Note that the two most positive emotions among them, Joy and Sadness, don't oppose this decision and, in fact, fully support it. |
| 622 | * DefconFive: Averted, as a low number refers to a bad situation here, [[MundaneMadeAwesome relatively speaking]]; when Riley starts acting up at the table, Anger calls on DEFCON 2, which is "putting the foot down" and sending Riley to her room. |
| 623 | * DudeLooksLikeALady: Joy, who notably has breasts (or perhaps man-breasts) and a slender feminine body, but is still clearly male. Besides having a mustache, his voice sounds masculine when he cheers on along with other emotions. This applies to Sadness and Disgust to a lesser extent. |
| 624 | * GenerationXerox: All of them look identical to Riley's emotions, except for uniforms and mustaches, and the fact that they're all males. Also, it's worth noting that Joy and Sadness sit side by side. |
| 625 | * GoToYourRoom: They make Mr. Andersen "put the foot down" and say this to Riley after she's dominated by her Anger. |
| 626 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 627 | ** The aforementioned full face paint is Anger's idea. |
| 628 | ** Fear is the second-in-command and is almost as firm as Anger, a stark contrast with Riley's Fear who is occasionally abused by her Anger and mocked by her Disgust. |
| 629 | ** Joy doesn't oppose Anger (and by extension, Mr. Andersen)'s firm decision to "put the foot down". Also, unlike Riley's Joy, this Joy doesn't seem to act solely for happiness. |
| 630 | ** Along with fellow emotions, Sadness likes watching sports and looks pretty enthusiastic about it. |
| 631 | * TheLeader: Anger, with Fear as his NumberTwo. |
| 632 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Military drum cadence, appropriate for their headquarters' resemblance to a military base. |
| 633 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: |
| 634 | ** Dad's emotions treat "putting the foot down" as if they were launching a nuke, with Fear and Disgust removing the safety caps off locks before inserting and turning the launch keys in sync. They consider sending Riley to her room to be a great dramatic success and celebrate when the reality of the situation is much more muted. |
| 635 | ** In ''Riley's First Date?'', every action towards Jordan is treated like a war battle decision, eventually culminating in "giving the boot" (Alarm, security belts, and big scary lever). |
| 636 | * TheNapoleon: Just like other characters' emotions, Anger. But this Anger is also the leader. |
| 637 | * NeverTrustATrailer: The "dinner scene" trailer implies they might have secondary (or tertiary) roles, but in the actual film, they only have two scenes: said dinner scene and a brief heartwarming gag at the ending. |
| 638 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Other characters' emotions (except Riley's and Mrs. Andersen's) look like their human (and animal) hosts, but these men look nothing like Mr. Andersen, sans the mustache and uniform. |
| 639 | * TheSoCalledCoward: Despite personifying fear, Fear doesn't much act the part. The only time he looks scared (or startled) in the movie is when Anger wants to "put the foot down", but Fear fully supports this decision. He's more visibly hesitant in ''Riley's First Date?'' when he's about to pull the lever to "Give [Jordan] The Boot," but that's it. |
| 640 | * TemptingFate: "Good job, gentlemen! That could've been a disaster!" No, Anger, Mom's emotions all agree that that already was a disaster. |
| 641 | * ToiletHumor: In the scene where Riley's family is eating dinner, one of the excuses that Anger gives for Riley's mom trying to get his attention is leaving the toilet seat up. |
| 642 | * TwoKeyedLock: They activate "the foot" in this fashion. |
| 643 | * TheVoiceless: Beyond cheering alongside the others in both the movie and the short, his Joy and Disgust are the only emotions of his (or his family) to not get a line of dialogue. This doesn't help the ViewerGenderConfusion (at least Sadness has a distinctively male voice in the short). |

| 646 | [[folder:Mrs. Andersen's Emotions]] |
| 647 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pow6qwr3wg.jpg]] |
| 648 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/LoriAlan (Sadness), Creator/SherryLynn (Joy), Creator/PaulaPell (Anger), Laraine Newman (Fear), Creator/MonaMarshall (Disgust, film), Sherry Lynn (Disgust, ''Riley's First Date?'') |
| 649 | |
| 650 | ->''"Well, '''that''' was a disaster."'' |
| 651 | -->--'''Mrs. Andersen's Sadness''' |
| 652 | |
| 653 | A set of five emotions that reside in Mrs. Andersen's mind. Their Headquarters is designed after female-oriented talk shows. They're led by Sadness. |
| 654 | ---- |
| 655 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Mrs. Andersen's Anger deliberately invokes a variant of this for herself and the others after Mr. Andersen botches the conversation; they start running a memory of a handsome Brazilian helicopter pilot that Mrs. Andersen apparently used to be involved with. |
| 656 | * GenerationXerox: All of them wear outfits that are similar to Riley's emotions', with little differences. Sadness wears a sweater, Joy and Disgust wear sleeveless dresses, Anger wears a collared shirt, and Fear wears a shirt with a sweater vest. Also, it's worth noting that Joy and Sadness sit side by side. |
| 657 | * GoodParents: Sadness is quick to pick up on the fact that something's wrong with Riley and make Mrs. Andersen recognize it. The other emotions agree. |
| 658 | * HiddenDepths: [[TheWoobie Sadness]] is TheLeader. |
| 659 | * TheLeader: Sadness is in charge here. |
| 660 | * NeverTrustATrailer: Same as Mr. Andersen's emotions above. |
| 661 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Other characters' emotions (except Riley's and Mr. Andersen's) look like their human (and animal) hosts, but these women have more varied physical features. The only two similarities they have with Mrs. Andersen are their brown hair and that they wear glasses. |
| 662 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Sadness fondly describes Mr. Andersen as a "really good guy" and the other emotions agree. |
| 663 | * TeamMom: Sadness. She's also their leader. Notably, this foreshadows that one of Sadness' important roles is ''empathy'', as she is the one to first pick up on Riley's emotional problems. |
| 664 | * ThisIsGonnaSuck: When Riley comes down with a case of teenage angst, Anger's comment pretty much this. |
| 665 | --->'''Anger:''' Welp, that's a preview of the next ten years. |
| 666 | ** To make it even funnier, all her other emotions have horrified/worried expressions. |
| 667 | * {{Tsundere}}: Anger and Disgust appear to be a Type A toward Mr. Andersen. They act like they can’t stand him, but they do actually love him. After Mr. Andersen fails to find out what’s bothering Riley, the emotions put on the memory of the Brazilian helicopter pilot, and all of them swoon. By the end, Anger tosses the memory away and leans into her hands while smiling endearingly at Mr. Andersen. |
| 668 | ** In the movie proper: |
| 669 | --->'''Disgust:''' He's making that stupid face again.\ |
| 670 | '''Anger:''' I could strangle him right now! |
| 671 | ** In the short: |
| 672 | --->'''Disgust:''' [[CallBack He's making that stupid face again.]]\ |
| 673 | '''Anger:''' Ugh, should we slap him? |
| 674 | * WhenSheSmiles: Mrs. Andersen's Anger is notably the only Anger in the film who is seen genuinely smiling. |
| 675 | * WomenAreWiser: Compared to Mr. Andersen's emotions, they have a softer and more loving personality. |
| 676 | * YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Everyone's reaction to Mr. Andersen's lack of response on their daughter's problem. Sadness even quotes the trope verbatim. |

| 681 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Ben Cox |
| 682 | |
| 683 | Jordan is a young boy that Riley bumps into at the end of the movie. He makes another appearance in ''Riley's First Date?''. |
| 684 | ---- |
| 685 | * AscendedExtra: A minor character in the movie, but becomes a major one in the short. |
| 686 | * BirdsOfAFeather: In ''Riley's First Date'', he and Riley's father bond over being in a band and having a similar interest in music. |
| 687 | * CannotTalkToWomen: He's completely dumbstruck when Riley talks to him for the first time at the end of the movie. |
| 688 | * TheDitz: He seems quite spacey and scatterbrained. His mental headquarters is extremely disorganized, with the floor covered in stray memory spheres, all the emotions doing their own thing instead of working the control panel, and about a dozen flatscreen [=TVs=] playing different cartoons at once. |
| 689 | * FlatWhat: Upon learning that Riley's Dad is also a fan of AC/DC. |
| 690 | * HiddenDepths: Like Riley's father, Jordan is an AC/DC fan. |
| 691 | * MellowFellow: Jordan is a fairly laid-back individual. |
| 692 | * RedAlert: When he bumps into Riley, his MentalWorld is shown with flashing red lights, warning signs, and a klaxon blaring "GIRL!" as his emotions panic. |
| 693 | * TheVoiceless: Has no lines in the film. Mostly because he doesn't know what to say to Riley. |

| 696 | [[folder:Jordan's Emotions]] |
| 697 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BillHader (Joy), Flea (Fear)\ |
| 698 | \ |
| 699 | '''Jordan's Fear:''' Dude! What's he looking at?\ |
| 700 | '''Jordan's Joy:''' Prolly your dumb hat. Hahaha. |
| 701 | |
| 702 | The five Emotions that reside in Jordan's head. They appear briefly at the end movie and in ''Riley's First Date?''. Their Headquarters has been turned into a disorganized skate park with multiple speakers and TV screens laid against the wall. The leader of Jordan's Emotions is Fear, who seems more inclined to stand up for himself than some other Fears. |
| 703 | ---- |
| 704 | * CannotTalkToWomen: Jordan's inability to say anything to Riley translates to his emotions running in circles and panicking while a klaxon alarm blares in the background, ''"GIRL! GIRL! GIRL!"'' |
| 705 | * ChaoticStupid: Their lack of supervision over the console serves to make Jordan rather scatter-brained. Only Fear seems to be paying any attention at all. |
| 706 | * TheHedonist: Jordan's Emotions seem to take every opportunity to goof off and have fun -- of course, they are the Emotions of a pre-teen boy. |
| 707 | * {{Jerkass}}: Jordan's Joy makes fun of Fear's hat [[HypocriticalHumor -- despite all five sharing the same hat.]] |
| 708 | * TheLadette: When Jordan's Disgust boards by and laughs at Fear and Joy fighting, you can see she wears tight clothes that shows she's more shapely than his other emotions, ''and'' wears lipstick (unlike Bill's more male Disgust). However, she too is goofing off and skateboarding. |
| 709 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Loud rock music can be heard blasting from the speakers in their Headquarters. |
| 710 | * NoSell: The fact that Jordan's Fear isn't cowardly may be the reason why Jordan doesn't react to Mr. Andersen's BoyfriendBlockingDad attitude. |
| 711 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Jordan's Disgust seems to be his only female Emotion. |
| 712 | * StealthPun: A brief look into Jordan's Headquarters reveals the emotions are mostly goofing off, to the extent that nobody seems to actually be at the console. In other words, Jordan is absent-minded. His memory orbs are in disarray and all over the place as an indication that he's scatter-brained as well. Each of his memory orbs also has one monochromatic color, suggesting that Jordan is still emotionally immature. |
| 713 | * TheSoCalledCoward: Jordan's Fear isn't a coward like Riley's Fear. He's ready to stand up for himself, and simply more cautious and attentive than Jordan's other emotions, which is why he's in charge. |
| 714 | * TrashOfTheTitans: They really shouldn't be skateboarding with all their memory orbs rolling across the floor... |
| 715 | * TroubledFetalPosition: When Jordan bumps into Riley, his Fear is shown huddled on the floor in terror, rocking back and forth. |

| 721 | |
| 722 | Riley's best friend from Minnesota, and the forward of the Prairie Dogs. Even after Riley moves to San Francisco, they continue to chat via the Internet until Riley cuts her off during the course of the movie. |
| 723 | ---- |
| 724 | * ChildhoodFriends: Has been best friends with Riley since they were toddlers. |
| 725 | * HerHeartWillGoOn: Platonic, non-death example: after Riley moves to San Francisco and is unable to play hockey with her anymore, Meg instantly befriends the new girl who took her spot on their hockey team. |
| 726 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: When video chatting with Riley after the latter moves, she starts talking about how cool the new girl on the team is and how well they play together. Riley, still sans Joy and Sadness at this point, takes this to mean she's been replaced as Meg's friend. |
| 727 | * RedheadInGreen: She has curly, red hair and is seen wearing a green sweater and glasses. |
| 728 | * SatelliteCharacter: She only serves as Riley's best friend. |
| 729 | * SocialCircleFiller: She is established as Riley’s closest friend, yet because Riley and her family move from Minnesota pretty early on, Meg has very little screen time with her. |
| 730 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her talking about how great a hockey player a new girl is in front of Riley only drives the latter further into depression. |
| 731 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What became of her, as well as her relationship with Riley, is left unclear by the film's end. |
