"That's Anger. He cares very deeply

—Joy, opening narration

Jack-Jack Parr
Anger is a character in Inside Out. He is
the red Emotion and one of the five
Emotions inside the mind of a young girl
named Riley, along with Joy, Fear,
Disgust and Sadness.

Lewis Black describes Anger as follows:

O!cial Bio
"Anger feels very passionately about making sure things are fair for Riley. He has a
fiery spirit and tends to explode (literally) when things don’t go as planned. He is
quick to overreact and has little patience for life’s imperfections." [2]

Inside Out
Anger is an avid reader of The Mind Reader, a newspaper which seems to have the
ability to update itself instantly as relevant events happen in Riley's life.
Unsurprisingly, Anger also has a tendency to advocate for the use of the only curse
word Riley knows, and is the Emotion that reacts the most violently to the TripleDent
Gum commercial.

During Riley's childhood, Anger stays fairly in check as Joy was Riley's dominant
emotion. However, when Riley turns 11 and her family moves to San Francisco, the
Emotions are confused by the new situation. All of a sudden, Anger, Fear, and Disgust
are much more present and generate much more memories.

When Joy and Sadness, along with all the core memories, are accidentally expelled
from Headquarters, Anger, Fear and Disgust are left alone to control Riley. Anger gets
out of control much more frequently, despite Fear's e#orts to calm him down. His
tantrums precipitate the fall of Friendship and Hockey Island.

After one day of this madness, Anger decides he's had enough of it. He reasons that
since all Riley's happy core memories were made in Minnesota, they should go back
there to make some new ones; though he calls it the "happy core memory
redevelopment program", he is e#ectively asking that Riley runs away. Disgust and
Fear are unsure about it, but end up agreeing. Anger plants the corresponding idea
bulb in the console, and Riley accepts the idea. Declaring there is now no turning
back, Anger pushes Riley to steal her mother's credit card, precipitating the fall of
Honesty Island. As Riley runs away, Family Island, the last island standing, crumbles
down, and Anger abruptly realizes how bad his idea was. The three emotions try to
change Riley's mind, but the idea bulb remains stuck in the console, which begins to
shut down. Fortunately, Joy and Sadness come back to Headquarters and know how
to solve the problem. As Joy and Sadness were stuck outside of the windows of
Headquarters, Disgust proceeded to trigger Anger by insulting him, causing his head
to explode with fire as he does when angry. The fire was used to melt the glass so Joy
and Sadness could get into Headquarters.

Sometime later, as Riley turns 12, Anger is excited to find out that the newly installed
upgraded console grants him access to a complete library of curse words.

Personality
Anger is intelligent, very serious, short, somewhat antagonistic, very reluctant to
express sadness or happiness, bitter and hoarse, but has a somewhat underlying
caring nature. He has a mean, fiery spirit and tends to explode (literally) when things
do not go as planned. As explained by Joy, he really cares that things are fair and
di#ers from Fear, as Joy di#ers from Sadness. Despite his intention to fix things, he
sometimes acts impulsively and does things his own way, like Joy did, resulting in
more harm.

Appearance
Anger is the shortest of the Emotions. He has crimson skin, a bald head, and tan oval
eyes. He wears a white shirt and a gray tie with red triangles separated in the middle
by a zigzagging line of yellow, as well as a brown belt, maroon trousers and gray
shoes. When angry, volcanic bursts of flame burst from his scalp.

Trivia
According to Pete Docter, his appearance is based on a fire brick.
Anger is notably the only Emotion that does not have a visible nose.
Anger claimed that, before a pizzeria in San Francisco served broccoli pizza, the
Hawaiians ruined pizza by inventing the Hawaiian pizza, which is not true, since
the Hawaiian Pizza was actually invented in Ontario, Canada.
During a stage of development where the Emotions all had human names,
Anger was originally named Ira, short for Irate.
The first curse word that Riley knows is revealed at the end of the film, when
Anger says "This is the s-" before being cut o# by a "Bleep" tone coming from
Fear toying with his section of the control console.
Anger is the dominant emotion of Riley's Father; although is relatively more
mature than Riley's Anger.
Gary has 5 emotions like everyone else, except that they are all variations of
Anger.
