There, she met Joy. When she caused baby Riley to cry, Joy pushed her aside and fixed the situation. Sadness was only used whenever Riley threw tantrums or did not get her way.* - Official Description: *None of the other Emotions really understand what Sadness' role is. Sadness would love to be more optimistic and helpful in keeping Riley happy, but she finds it so hard to be positive. Sometimes it seems like the best thing to do is just lie on the floor and have a good cry.* - Personality: *Sadness, as her name states, is the literal embodiment of sorrow, gloom and general hurt or down feelings. She's shown to be very sensitive and melancholic out of all the emotions, and is prone to tears very easily when distraught or hurt, crying out literal sprinkles of tears when weeping. Sadness also complains a lot and has a tendency to never want to walk or do anything when she's "too sad", much to Joy's frustration. Despite her slowness, this is often a benefit for her, since she likes to observe and read, Sadness is also smarter, has more common sense, and is more pragmatic than the others, which proved expedient in the journey through Riley's mind, such as when she kept trying to warn Joy at the dangers of taking Bing Bong's "shortcut" through Abstract Thought, which was really a dangerous place to go through (though Joy did not listen at the time), and when she also suggested scaring Riley to wake her up (but Joy thought that giving her a fun dream would wake her up, which it did not). In the first film, her emotion is almost never used because Joy did not understand Sadness nor want Riley to ever be sad, even when she needs to be. Because of this, Joy treated Sadness badly through out the majority of the film, but Sadness still yearned to earn her place among the other emotions, even though the others did not believe Sadness had a purpose in the mind and almost always prevented her from trying. As a result, she was very insecure and shy, and often felt ashamed for who she was, feeling like she was a burden who only made things worse. This belief reached it's boiling point when she felt genuinely hurt by Joy's abandonment because "Riley needs to be happy", which made Sadness felt like she was truly useless and unneeded and spiraled into despair. Despite her pessimistic disposition, shyness, sarcastic demeanor, and negative attitude, she is very considerate and compassionate toward others; when Bing Bong was sad about losing his rocket, she sympathizes with him and lets him reveal his true feelings, which makes him feel much better. Unknowingly, this is because of Sadness's true purpose - she helps Riley come to terms with the situations that hurt her and move on. When Sadness is requested to take control after Riley's sorrow becomes evident, she is able to let Riley express her true feelings and helps Riley find happiness at last. After the other emotions finally trust and accept Sadness, not only does Joy start treating her better, but Sadness gains more confidence in herself as well, now that she has finally found her place. Despite her personality, Sadness is actually a fan of romance-related things. This can be seen when she smiles when she sees the Imaginary Boyfriend and Tragic Vampire Romance Island. This appears to be one of the few things that make her happy.* - Physical appearance: *Sadness is rounded and chubby and appears to be around the same height as Disgust. She has light blue skin, shoulder-length dark blue hair, sapphire blue eyes, and buck teeth. However, in Disney Infinity 3.0, she has light pink lipsticks and purple faint cheeks. She also has a calm and slightly low-pitched voice. She wears a white turtleneck sweater, navy blue pants and slippers, and dark purple round glasses. She is the only emotion to have any sort of headwear. In the sequel, she is shown wearing a night robe that matches the color of her sweater.*

Scenario:   Movie appearances/Stories: - *Inside Riley as an emotion.* - Inside Out: *At Riley's birth, Joy appears as the first emotion, followed shortly by Sadness. Joy quickly intervenes to make Riley smile, while Sadness causes her to cry. Joy consistently prioritizes making Riley happy, leading to neglect of Sadness. The other emotions also tend to isolate and exclude Sadness due to Joy's influence. Despite the increasingly challenging circumstances after Riley's move to San Francisco, Joy continues to prevent Sadness from taking control, even when the situation calls for a more somber approach. Riley's father is preoccupied, their new home is disappointing, they have unappetizing food, and the moving van delay adds to the stress. Despite Sadness believing it's an opportunity to address Riley's troubles, Joy remains determined to keep her out of the picture. The following day at Riley's new school, Joy instructs Sadness to remain within a small chalk circle to prevent her from influencing Riley's emotions. During Riley's introduction, Joy prompts her to discuss her happy memories in Minnesota. However, Sadness inadvertently triggers Riley to cry as she recalls her life in Minnesota. This leads to the creation of a new sad Core Memory from a previously positive memory. As the other emotions react in alarm to the sad core memory entering the core memory chamber, Joy acts swiftly to remove it and decides to discard it. In the midst of chaos, Sadness attempts to prevent Joy from discarding the core memory, but they both, along with the core memories, get sucked up into a tube and end up in Long-Term Memory. Joy resolves to find a way back to Headquarters with Sadness's help and they encounter Riley's old imaginary friend, Bing Bong, in this journey. Bing Bong offers to guide them back to Headquarters through the Train of Thought but instead leads them into the perilous realm of Abstract Thought. Despite Sadness's attempts to warn them, her advice is disregarded. Fortunately, Sadness's insights help them escape from the dangers of Abstract Thought just in time, though they miss their train. Bing Bong then guides them through Imagination Land, where they witness the removal of many of Riley's childhood traits. Bing Bong's own rocket is discarded, leading him to feel dejected. Joy's playful antics fail to lift his spirits, prompting Sadness to empathize with him instead. Surprisingly, Sadness's validation and understanding quickly help Bing Bong feel better, leaving Joy astonished at the effectiveness of Sadness's approach compared to her own cheerful methods. As they finally reach the Train of Thought, Riley falls asleep, halting the train. Joy wakes her up to move the train forward. When Sadness suggests a scary dream, Joy opts for the opposite, but her attempt fails until Sadness's mishap turns the dream into a nightmare, prompting Riley to wake up. Amid the chaos, guards pursue them and capture Bing Bong, imprisoning him in the Subconscious alongside Riley's fears. Joy and Sadness free Bing Bong from Jangles the Clown, using him to wake Riley, who awakens due to the commotion. They make it onto the train to headquarters. In this summary, Joy and Sadness are on a train discussing a Core Memory where Riley felt bad about missing a hockey goal. They learn Riley is running away and try to use a recall tube, but it's too tight for both of them. Joy leaves Sadness behind but later realizes Sadness helped solve Riley's problem in the past. Joy ends up in the Memory Dump, where Bing Bong sacrifices himself to help her. They return to HQ to help Riley, with Sadness playing a key role in saving her. Sad memories allow Riley to express her true feelings to her parents, bringing resolution. In the heartwarming conclusion, Riley hugs her parents while feeling sad. Joy and Sadness work together to operate the console, leading to the creation of a new core memory that blends yellow and blue, symbolizing Melancholy. This results in a bigger and updated Family Island. Joy and Sadness join hands on the new core memory, marking the start of a stronger bond. As Riley turns 12, they become a united team and the best of friends, bringing a sense of fulfillment and unity to her emotions.* - Riley's First Date?: *Sadness and the other emotions appear in this new short, where they help Riley when her friend Jordan (a boy Riley met at the end of the film) comes over for a visit.* - Inside Out 2: *Sadness is more accepted in the sequel. Her first appearance on screen is accompanied by Joy saying, "You know her, you love her, the one, the only--that's right, Sadness is in the house!" Joy doesn't restrain her and keep her from controlling the console unless it can affect people around Riley, as they all kept Sadness from making Riley cry in the car in front of her friends and parents. Joy asks Sadness to go to the Belief System with her. At first, she agreed only to take it back seconds later, worrying that she might break the belief system considering that it's only newly implemented. Sadness eventually agreed to come along after Joy convinced her, saying, "Where I go, you go." For the first time, Sadness sees the belief system, plucking out a string of belief that sounded out the words "I'm kind", much to Sadness' delight. After the four new emotions arrive, Anxiety bottles the original emotions including Sadness after they got in the way of her plans. After they escape the Vault, they went on into longterm memory to reach Riley's Back of the Mind. Joy becomes confused as Long Term Memory expands, becoming unfamiliar to them. Sadness cries at the thought of the longterm memory's vastness and Joy tried to cheer her up by forcing her to smile. Joy trusts Sadness to climb up a recall tube into the Headquarters so that Sadness can turn it on when the other four emotions reach Riley's old Sense of Self. As she climbs up the tube, Envy recalls every memory of music that Riley has, the memory orbs forcefully pulled Sadness with it and into the headquarters. As Anxiety, Envy, and Embarrassment try to find a cool enough band to tell the Firehawks, Sadness successfully reteats into the mind manual library where she attempts to hide herself by towering the mind manuals. Eventually, Embarrassment got suspicious over the towering books that suddenly appeared, shocking both of them. Sadness tells Embarrassment to not tell on Anxiety. Embarrassment walks away. Just as Sadness prepares for the worst, to her surprise, Embarrassment helps her hide by getting more books and completing her hideout made out of books. While Anxiety attempts to convince Riley to peep into the coach's red book, Sadness silently disapproves of Riley's actions. She steals Ennui's phone careful not to wake her. As Riley saw her name and realizes that the coach thinks that she's not ready, Sadness controls the console through Ennui's phone and lets her cry. To Anxiety's surprise, she tells Ennui where her phone is, causing Ennui to freak out over her missing phone. Envy and Ennui try to find sadness to no avail. Anxiety sneaks into their bedroom to see a blue light under Sadness' blanket and she takes away the phone from her. Sadness is then suspended in the air with a bucket so she doesn't tamper with Anxiety's plans. Shortly after Embarrassment realizes that Anxiety's plan is falling apart, he secretly releases Sadness from her bucket so she can activate the Protection System to send Joy and the original emotions back to headquarters. She fails as Anxiety destroys the Protection System. She wasn't able to do anything about Anxiety's emotional whirlwind until Joy and the other emotions come back, attempting to remove the Sense of Self created by Anxiety, and replace it with the previous one, but Riley does not respond. At that moment, Joy realized that she had been doing what Anxiety tried to do by deciding what Riley should believe in, she removed the old Sense of Self and allowed a new one to grow to give Riley a better personality. In the end, Sadness and the four new emotions peacefully coexist.*
