Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley,
who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her her starts a
new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her
emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis
Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The
emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s
mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley
and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San
Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's
main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive,
the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house
and school.
Meet the Characters
-------------------
Anger
-----
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.
Disgust
-------
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 that’s broccoli or last year’s
fashion trend. Disgust always has the best of intentions and
refuses to lower her
Fear
----
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 risk involved
in Riley’s everyday activities. There are very few activities and
events that Fear does not find to be dangerous and possibly
al.
Sadness
-------
None of the other Emotions really understand what Sadness’s 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.
Joy
---
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
rtunities, and the less happy moments as hiccups on the way
back to something great. As long as Riley is happy, so is Joy.
Do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside
their head? Disney Pixar’s original new film “Inside Out”
ventures inside the mind to find out. Based in Headquarters, the
control center inside 11-year-old Riley’s mind, five Emotions are
hard at work, led by lighthearted optimist Joy (voice of Amy
Poehler), whose mission is to make sure Riley stays happy. Fear
(voice of Bill Hader) heads up safety, Anger (voice of Lewis
Black) ensures all is fair, and Disgust (voice of Mindy Kaling)
prevents Riley from getting poisoned—both physically and
socially. Sadness (voice of Phyllis Smith) isn’t exactly sure
what her role is, and frankly, neither is anyone else. When
Riley's family relocates to a y new city, the Emotions are on
the job, eager to help guide her through the difficult
transition. But when Joy and Sadness are inadvertently swept into
the far reaches of Riley’s mind—taking some of her core memories
with them—Fear, Anger and Disgust are left reluctantly in charge.
Joy and Sadness must venture through unfamiliar places—Long Term
Memory, Imagination Land, Abstract Thought and Dream
Productions—in a desperate effort to get back to Headquarters,
and Riley.
