This brings me to the third conceptual problem.

Joy is Joyful and she should be unable to feel anything else at all. Second, the emotion-people should not be able to feel emotions besides they one they are. People might differ on this and find say Sadness too morose. Joy-being the main character-suffers the most from this.

This ends up causing two problems: the characters can be annoying because conceptually they are stuck in a single mode. Second, Joy and the other emotion-people are basically stuck in whatever emotion they are or cause. (The film's conception of how emotions work is *really* hard to work out the details.) She feels *nothing* only her emotion-people do. (This is true for all human "characters" and their dominate emotions.)

Lewis Black as Anger is some of the best casting of all time. The film flashes brilliance repeatedly by using this concept logically. The emotion-people are driving around us people-people is a funny, striking concept.

As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters.

The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco.
