The original plot of Inside Out of Riley and Joy meeting

The scene where giant Joy and Fear run through San Francisco occurred in Riley's head at Imagination Park, in case you didn't get it

It’s a good thing there wasn’t really a villain in the final movie

Idk why but it makes sense for the emotions to have a mic, Remember that all of the characters in Riley's mind ARE Riley. The conversations between her emotions are her internal debates with herself, so i feel like a mic would make sense

oh it's also interesting that Riley could have met her Joy, but it's still always very emotional and cute Joy talking to Riley as a child skating and that memory

They could kept Riley and joy dancing in the Final Cut

4:36 this scene is sadder in the final because bing bong asks joy to take Riley to the moon for him, but she can't because the two can't meet each other in person (there may be a better way to explain it but it's late and I'm tired).

I read a fanfic once that was like this. But it was a little dark. Maybe too dark for Disney and Pixar. Riley was riding her bike, but she had a terrible accident, and banged her head on the sidewalk. She went into a coma due to her emotions neglecting her to ware a helmet. While she was in this "coma" she dreamed of her visiting her emotions. And she met all if them. I don't remember exactly everything that went down, because it's been a while since I read it, but one of the plot points was that Joy tried to use Riley to bring Bing-Bong back. Since she was there with them, Joy wanted to see if Riley's presence would bring him back from her forgetting him. Yeah I don't really know how Riley was talking with the emotions, while inside her own head lmao. Because she was having emotions while she was talking.... while being in her head. So yeah lmao idk. But the dark part about the fic- was the end of it. A "new" emotion showed up out of nowhere. Pitch black, darkness all over it. Turns out it wasn't an emotion, it was "Death" because apparently Riley wasn't gonna live. Sad part is, i remember the fic ended there, there was no continuation.

I almost cried when joy danced with Riley

2:48 I thought this scene was cute. It even almost made cry even if it’s a deleted scene. It kinda reminded me of Frozen 2 when Elsa saw the past. I wish they kept it in the movie. Because the movie was kinda short. Not too short but when realizing how many deleted scenes there were it made me sad that they didn’t use them in the full movie.

an emotion talking to riley through a mic is like a reference to Osmosis Jones

It would be kind of cool if we do see a monster from Monsters Inc. This might somewhat confirmed the theory of every Pixar movie is connected.

Better that emotions can't directly control her, because we don't really get to choose how we feel during situations but we can choose how to respond to those feelings. It's the same as these emotions. They can influence her with certain emotions, but they're ultimately Riley's decisions.

After watching the movie (this was awhile back) I release a flaw in the premise of the movie. Why are the Emotions in control. Emotions are tools we can used to help us, but we should never be driven by them. The last thing you want in life is to be controlled by your emotions. That is when you make bad decisions. We are supposed to learn not to be controlled by our emotions. Also, who says we have to give up our imagination when we grow up?

The dialogue and motivations of the Joy and Fear sub-personalities in the original script kind of resemble 'Firefighter' and 'Manager' sub-personalities. One is assertive and ignores social relationships to avoid pain and preserve the happiness of the self, while the other is more co-operative and controlling to suppress the self and prioritize social relationships. With all the issues that come from either one dominating over the other, the "Joy Alone" conclusion actually feels more significant. It's the moment when a sub-personality realizes that it's not about them, it's about the host. It's harder for a young audience to understand these ideas so the character change makes total sense. Still though, I have greater appreciation for the writers to even make the attempt to bring these important concepts for mental health to light.

It seems in the old version, the emotions just made Riley feel these things, but the characters didn't have to match the emotion. In the final version, Joy was usually happy, Sadness was usually sad, etc. which I think helped the appeal. Joy being a stuck-up diva might make people think being happy is... rude to the other emotions? It would be complicated. They did, however, keep Joy wanting Riley basically to be a kid forever. Actually, it's what they all want- the good, simple times of childhood. That's why they try to go back on the bus before Sadness stops them- they want the simple times back.

Joy really was set to be a villain.

Tbh, I really hope we get a scene of Joy and Riley meeting someday. It would be cute. Thank goodness they didn't feature Fear as a villain since that would ruin the movie.

Reminds me a little bit of in that old show, Ozzy and Drix, when they go into Hector’s dream and meet him. Ozzy was so excited! He never thought something like this would happen.

well there IS a sarcasm in the sequel’s new trailer
