10+ Interesting Facts About 'Inside Out' That Prove It's One of the Best Disney Movies Ever Made

If you haven't watched this animated movie, then you are missing out big time. However, knowing that you are here reading this, it's probably safe to say that you also loved this movie as much as we do.

"Inside Out" remains one of the best movies that Disney has ever made in the past decade, and it even won the 2016 Golden Globe Award for "Best Animated Film." People of all ages devoured the movie, and it became an instant classic favorite because the themes introduced in the film resonate closely with most of us.

The movie revolves around Riley, an 11-year-old girl, and the five emotions living inside her: energetic and optimistic Joy, voiced by Amy Poehler; shaky Fear, who ensures Riley is always safe and is voiced by Bill Hader; raging Anger, who wants everything to be fair and is voiced by Lewis Black; picky Disgust, who helps Riley avoid being poisoned by weird food and is voiced by Mindy Kaling; and lastly, Sadness, who is all over the place, voiced by Phyllis Smith. The setting is centered in San Francisco, where Riley's family has relocated, and the emotions help her navigate the difficult and unfamiliar transition.

Like any other movie from Disney, this one is packed with details and interesting facts that you just need to see and learn. Here are some of them:

1. The bubbly skin texture of the characters cost a fortune to create, risking their budget, but fortunately, they made it all work!

2. In case you didn't notice, Disgust is actually shaped like broccoli.

That being said, all the other emotions are based on certain things as well: Anger resembles a brick, Fear looks like a thin nerve, Joy is built like a star, and Sadness looks like the personification of a teardrop.

3. The newspaper that Anger is holding has headlines that detail Riley's day.

4. Forty-five animators worked on the movie, which is half the size of those who worked on previous Pixar films.

5. One of the schoolgirls in this scene wears a shirt similar to Sid's in Toy Story.

6. The line "Take her to the moon for me" was actually recorded while Richard Kind, the voice of Bing Bong, was crying.

7. A plot hole that some people noticed: Joy not pushing the core memories up the pneumatic tube when it would have been easier that way.

"We discussed that along the way, and it was one of those things where we kind of boxed ourselves into a corner a little bit. We added the recall thing later when they were doing the song that got stuck in her head."

"Our argument was that Joy wouldn’t trust the memories to be fine on their own; she needed to be up there too," Director Pete Docter clarifies.

8. There were supposed to be six characters, one being the emotion Surprise.

9. Finding Nemo reference in Imagination Land.

10. Riley's address in San Francisco is 21 Royal St., the name of a restaurant in Disneyland.

11. Mind Worker Cop Jake is voiced by Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

12. The console gets tinted red when Anger controls it.

13. Joy actually swims down the realm of "unconsciousness" in a deleted scene.

14. Joy was initially paired with Fear and not Sadness.

"But we veered off course from that in the long run," Docter says. "We realized that wasn’t really conveying what we were trying to discuss regarding the laws of childhood and the pain of growing up. That was a pivotal moment in redoing the story, pairing Joy with Sadness."

15. The camera gets a little shaky when Riley feels upset.

16. The same globe can be seen in Toy Story.

17. The music that plays when Riley has a nightmare is from Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride.

18. The console gets bigger as Riley gets older.

19. Joy glows yellow, but she also has a tint of blue aura—a foreshadowing detail of her acceptance of Sadness.

What's great about Inside Out is that it teaches both kids and adults that feeling emotions is totally normal, and it's not healthy to set aside emotions other than happiness at all times. It also opened the eyes of many parents who are raising children that seem to be in a challenging stage of their lives, involving addressing complex emotions and regulating them in a healthy way.
