The console at Headquarters is where the emotions hang out and work with Riley. The console starts out tiny at the beginning of the movie, then it grows and grows in the first few minutes of the movie.

This is because Riley gets older and bigger and has new emotions that she experiences.

Bing Bong is Riley’s imaginary friend that Joy and Sadness run into in the movie. He has a flower on his jacket that has all different colors for the petals. The different colors of petals each represent different emotions.

Joy is voiced by Amy Poehler, Disgust is voiced by Mindy Kaling, Fear is voiced by Bill Hader, and Sadness is voiced by Phyllis Smith. All of them were on the tv show The Office.

8. A113 Can Be Seen In The Movie

This is a common number in Pixar movies. In Inside Out it’s Riley’s new classroom number and it’s in graffiti on a wall.

A113 is seen in Pixar movies because it’s a classroom number at California Institute of the Arts, which is where a lot of the Pixar animators went to school.

9. There Is No Villain

It’s rare for a Disney movie to not have a villain, but this one doesn’t have one.

10. It Was The 15th Pixar Movie

Inside Out was Pixar’s 15th movie they released. It came out June 19, 2015.

11. It Is Different In Other Countries

The animators changed a few things in the movie to fit other countries better. In India kids love broccoli, so they changed the broccoli in the movie to be green bell peppers.

Also, Riley’s dad daydreams about football instead of hockey for countries who prefer football.
