Colored Orbs in a Girl's Mind

Inside Out, released by Pixar in 2015 and directed by Pete Docter, takes place inside the mind of Riley, an 11-year-old girl who moves from Minnesota to San Francisco. Five emotions run Headquarters: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust.

Each memory is stored as a glowing orb colored by the emotion attached to it: yellow for Joy, blue for Sadness, red for Anger, purple for Fear and green for Disgust. Special core memories power Riley's Islands of Personality, such as Family, Hockey and Friendship. Everyday memories travel to Long Term Memory.

When Joy and Sadness are swept out of Headquarters, they meet Bing Bong, Riley's forgotten imaginary friend, who stays behind in the Memory Dump. Inside Out 2, released in 2024, added Anxiety, Envy, Ennui and Embarrassment and became one of the highest-grossing animated films.
