Take this Inside Out Quiz! Average Trivia | Movies

Answer: Joy

In the opening scene, the baby Riley opens her eyes to the world for the first time and experiences joy at seeing her parents for the first time. Unfortunately, this only lasts for 33 seconds before another emotion, Sadness, appears, and Riley proceeds to cry.

Answer: San Francisco

Some of the problems faced by Riley's family in San Francisco are discovering that their house is tiny and dilapidated, finding that California-style pizza uses broccoli (ew!) as a topping, and realizing that the moving van with their possessions won't arrive for weeks.

Answer: Fashion Island

The five early islands are Goofball Island, Friendship Island, Hockey Island, Honesty Island, and Family Island. Fashion isn't part of Riley's personality until the end of the movie when she moves into her teenage years (along with Boy Band Island and Tragic Vampire Romance Island).

Answer: Riley breaks down crying at school

All of these incidents occur during the film, but when Riley starts crying in school, Sadness begins to touch Riley's core memories, turning them from happy to sad. Joy, whose goal is to keep Riley happy, isn't having any of this. A tug-of-war over Riley's core memories causes Joy and Sadness to fly out of HQ and prevent Riley from feeling either emotion while they are gone.

Answer: Mother - Sadness; Father - Anger

Mom's HQ has Sadness sitting in the center, probably due to Sadness's ability to empathize and care for others (which is shown in another scene with Bing Bong). Dad has Anger in the middle and Fear addresses him as "sir", indicating Anger is Dad's primary emotion. Also, Dad's "screen" onto the world is rectangular, while both women's screens are ovals.

Answer: Dream Productions and Subconscious

The Train of Thought only runs when Riley is awake, so Joy, Sadness, and Bing Bong try to make a film in Dream Productions to wake her up. Joy seems to think a happy dream is what will do the trick, but her happy antics don't do anything. Only when they go into Riley's Subconscious to bring out Jangles the clown does the dream become scary enough for Fear to wake Riley up.

This is one of the events in the film which helps Joy realize that the other emotions are just as important as she is.

Answer: Only Joy gets out after Bing Bong sacrifices himself

Joy and Bing Bong find Bing Bong's rocket cart in the Dump, which can fly towards the moon when the Bing Bong Song is sung. They jump in and sing the song in an attempt to get out before they fade away. However, their combined weight repeatedly drags the wagon down just as they near the top of the Dump. On the third run, Bing Bong jumps out so that Joy can escape, and after asking Joy to take Riley to the moon for him, fades away like all the other memories that fall in the dump.

Bing Bong is the first "heroic" character in a Pixar film to essentially "die" onscreen. He is voiced by Richard Kind.

Answer: chewing gum

The earworm jingle plays several times throughout the movie to illustrate how certain memories are extremely hard to forget!

"TripleDent Gum
Will make you smile
TripleDent Gum
It lasts a while
TripleDent Gum
Will help you, mister
To punch bad breath right in the kisser
TripleDent Gum!"

Answer: Sadness

Even though Joy tries to push Sadness aside many times in the film, at the end Joy realizes that Sadness is an essential part of Riley's personality and is the best emotion for this situation, as expressing Sadness causes Riley to get help from others. Even though many of Riley's core memories are tinged with sadness in the process, Riley now has core memories associated with multiple emotions, unlocking even more powerful Islands of Personality.

Answer: Pete Docter

Pete Docter has been with Pixar since the beginning, being the third animator hired by the studio. In addition to "Inside Out", he directed both "Monsters Inc." and "Up" (which won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature). Brad Bird directed "The Incredibles" and "Ratatouille"; Andrew Stanton directed "A Bug's Life", "Finding Nemo", and "WALL-E"; and John Lasseter is the head of Pixar.
