Sadness (Inside Out)
Last Updated on: November 15th, 2024
Who is Sadness?
Sadness is one of the core emotions featured in Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out (2015). She represents the feeling of sadness in Riley, the 11-year-old protagonist whose emotions help guide her through life’s challenges.
Sadness is characterized by her blue complexion, round glasses, and cozy turtleneck sweater. Her demeanor is often melancholic, slow-moving, and pessimistic, contrasting sharply with the upbeat and optimistic Joy. Despite her gloomy nature, Sadness proves to be an essential and deeply empathetic character, demonstrating the importance of embracing all emotions, even the difficult ones, as a part of personal growth and emotional health.
Throughout the film, Sadness initially feels out of place among the other emotions, often being sidelined by Joy, who believes happiness is the key to Riley’s well-being. However, as Riley faces significant changes in her life—like moving to a new city—Sadness begins to play a crucial role. She helps Riley process and release complex feelings, highlighting that sadness can lead to connection, healing, and understanding.
Phyllis Smith, best known for her role as Phyllis in The Office, provided the voice of Sadness.
