Short description

When 11-year-old Riley moves to a new city, her Emotions team up to help her through the transition. Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness work together, but when Joy and Sadness get lost, they must journey through unfamiliar places to get back home.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The idea for 'Inside Out' came to director Pete Docter after his own daughter went through a difficult adolescence.
  • The original title of the cartoon translates to 'Inside Out'.
  • When Riley's family moves to a new house, sparrows from the 2000 Pixar film 'For the Birds' can be noticed on the power lines.
  • According to Pete Docter, each emotion was based on a specific visual image: Joy – on a star, Sadness – on a teardrop, Anger – on a fiery brick, Fear – on a stretched nerve, and Disgust – on broccoli (although Pete admits he personally loves broccoli).
  • In Riley's first dream, the talking rat (here – mouse) Remy from "Ratatouille" (2007) appears. The cartoon also featured two objects from the film "WALL-E" (2008) – a fire extinguisher (which Joy used to put out Fear, who was singed by Anger) and a torn boot (it was in Bingo-Bongo's bag). One of Riley's memories is a photograph in front of a dinosaur statue in the desert on the way to San Francisco. This dinosaur is most likely one of the heroes of the next cartoon, "The Good Dinosaur" (2015).
  • The cartoon explores one of the axioms of psychology: ignoring certain emotions, no matter how negative or useless they may seem, leads to stress and depression.
  • When Joy and Bingo-Bongo sang a song to find the "ship to the moon," the ship gave them a call sign in the form of five tonal signals. This is a reference to the film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977), where aliens used five tonal signals to communicate with humans.
