Get to Know your 'Inside Out' Emotions: Joy

She's here to turn that frown upside-down! Get to know Joy from Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out!

From an adventurous balloon ride above the clouds to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning director Pete Docter (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Up”) has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In Disney•Pixar’s original movie “ Inside Out,” he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all—inside the mind.

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.

I like how Joy just smashed the control panel without causing to heat it up or just break down in general XD

Whoever doesn't like Joy doesn't like people who get excited. I love her. She is both pretty and cute.

**looks inside my brain** Sadness, what have you done with Joy? Haven't seen her around in a while...

Joy takes control anytime I watch a Disney movie, and the funny bits come up.

One of THE best Disney creations in a long time. So much fun and energy, a real feel good character. I've watched Inside Out several times just focusing on her. Well done Disney

3 things:
1: I love how they made joy yellow, my favorite color
2. I love how they made joy have sort of a fairy-esque look, seems very fitting
3. I like to think that Riley’s emotions are all of our emotions in their purest forms, because Riley is an example for us. That kind of thing. Which is why other people’s emotions look different

Whenever I am at the beach, Disneyland Paris, meeting celebrities, or just enjoying myself, it makes me happy. My phrase for happiness is, “Just enjoy it.”

Joy is adorable—and Amy Poehler was the perfect choice to voice her!

Anyone notice one of the textbooks is about space?

Could Joy be trying to take Riley to the moon for Bing Bong?
