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. Directed by Academy Award® winner Pete Docter ("Monsters, Inc.", "Up"), produced by Jonas Rivera, p.g.a. ("Up") and featuring an original score by Michael Giacchino (“The Incredibles," "Ratatouille," "Up"), Disney•Pixar's "Inside Out" opens in theaters.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

JOY (voice of Amy Poehler)

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.

FEAR (voice of Bill Hader)

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 fatal.

ANGER (voice of Lewis Black)

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 (voice of Mindy Kaling)

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 standards.

SADNESS (voice of Phyllis Smith)

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.

Meet Your Emotions and Explore the Complex New Worlds Within

Explore the farthest corners of your mind with Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger and visit unfamiliar places that we all know of but have never seen for ourselves. Take a stroll down memory lane at “Long Term Memory” located at the Open Piazza, let your thoughts run wild at “Imagination Land”, see what may come up while you sleep at “Dream Productions” and why they don’t seem to make much sense. Visit the “Headquarters” and meet the Emotions at the 2nd floor Atrium, hop on the “Train of Thought” to get carried away, and see what Core Memories are stored deep in the mind. Expect to run into characters like Riley’s imaginary friend Bing Bong, the Mind Workers and the Rainbow Unicorn and don’t miss the chance to snap a few selfies with them! Exclusive Behind-the-scenes videos on the production of this most creative title yet from Pixar will also be shown at this exhibition that straddles between two worlds, inside and out.

Synopsis

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 scary 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.
