Inside Out 1 🎥 2015 Movie Info

Plot Summary

In the mind of a young girl named Riley Andersen are five personified emotions that influence her actions: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger. Riley’s experiences become memories that are stored as colored orbs and are sent into long-term memory each night. The aspects of the five most important “core memories” within her personality take the form of five floating islands. Joy acts as the leader and tries to limit Sadness’s influence, perceiving her as an unnecessary burden for Riley. At age 11, Riley moves from Minnesota to San Francisco for her father’s new job.

On Riley’s first day at her new school, Sadness retroactively saddens joyous memories, causing Riley to cry in front of her class. This creates Riley’s first sad core memory. Joy tries to dispose of the memory using a pneumatic tube but knocks loose the other core memories during a struggle with Sadness, disabling the personality islands. Joy, Sadness, and the core memories are sucked out of Headquarters. In the absence of Joy and Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust try to make happy core memories, but the results are disastrous, distancing Riley from her parents, peers, and hobbies. Without the core memories, Anger causes Riley’s personality islands to crumble and fall into the “Memory Dump”, where things fade to non-existence as they are forgotten.

While navigating the vast long-term memory area, Joy and Sadness encounter a pink elephant named Bing Bong, Riley’s childhood imaginary friend, who suggests riding the “train of thought” back to Headquarters. Meanwhile, Anger, intending to restore Riley’s happiness, convinces Disgust and Fear that Riley should run away to Minnesota, where her happy memories were formed. Joy, Sadness, and Bing Bong catch the train, but it is derailed when another island collapses. Joy tries to ride a “recall tube” back to Headquarters, but the ground below the tube collapses, sending her and Bing Bong plunging into the Memory Dump.
