• Disgust

Disgust is a major character in the 2015 Disney/Pixar film Inside Out and its 2024 sequel. She is one of the five emotions inside the mind of Riley Andersen.

Background

Official Description

Disgust is highly opinionated, extremely honest and prevents Riley from getting poisoned — both physically and socially. She keeps a careful eye on the people, places and things that Riley comes into contact with — whether that's broccoli or last year's fashion trend. Disgust always has the best of intentions and refuses to lower her standards.

Appearances

Inside Out

Disgust is one of the five emotions controlling Riley's mind and helping her. When their leader, Joy and another emotion, Sadness, literally get lost in Riley's mind, she and the other emotions have to keep Riley's head on straight until Joy and Sadness get home. However, things go wrong sooner or later, they even decide to make Riley run away. She possibly belittles Sadness to a neutral degree due to her superficial teen attitude.

Inside Out 2

Disgust is now one of ten emotions controlling Riley's mind. When Anxiety takes charge, Disgust and the other core emotions are sent out of Headquarters as suppressed emotions, so go on a quest to make their way back.
