Inside Out Bing Bong
The character Bing Bong is important in the movie Inside Out. He is Riley Andersen's made-up friend, created when she was around four years old. Bing Bong's childlike innocence often causes problems for him and Riley's emotions, like when they get stuck in Abstract Thought. Losing his wagon during the journey makes him very sad.
Even though Joy tried to make him feel better by being silly, it was Sadness who actually helped him show his sadness and feel better. Riley's dream isn't working, so Bing Bong gets stuck in the Subconscious with Jangles the Clown, who's one of Riley's fears. Joy and Sadness come to his rescue, causing a wild escape that lands them on the Train of Thought.
Is Bing Bong Dead?
In the movie "Inside Out," Bing Bong is really shown to die. Bing Bong is a make-believe friend of Riley. He is a fun character who assists Joy and Sadness as they travel through Riley's thoughts. In the end of the movie, Bing Bong gives up his life to save Joy so she can go back to Headquarters. In a sad part of the movie, Bing Bong disappears into the Memory Dump, a place where old memories are gone forever.
Many people feel sad about Bing Bong's death because it's a very touching moment in the movie. Even though Bing Bong is just a made-up character, his exit from the story is filled with strong feelings. It shows people about growing up and how memories, both happy and sad, are important in forming our identity.
Amy Poehler, the actor who provides the voice for Joy in the movie, recently discussed the impact of Bing Bong's death on people. She said that even though it's sad, it's an important part of the story that helps us understand feelings and memories better. If you haven't watched the movie or don't remember, Bing Bong is a large, pink creature that resembles a mix of an elephant and other animals. He's both fun and kind, which makes people of all ages remember him as a great character.
Does Bing Bong Come Back in Inside Out 2?
There is no guarantee that Bing Bong will come back for Inside Out 2. New emotions will join familiar characters like Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust, Riley, and her parents in the movie. Although it's not confirmed that Richard Kind will voice Bing Bong again, there's a chance he might make a surprise appearance.
But it doesn't seem probable that Bing Bong will be a main character again in the sequel. Pixar movies often have touching moments that can't be forgotten, like Nemo's mom in Finding Nemo and Ellie in Up. Undoing Bing Bong's sacrifice would make the movie about feelings less powerful. There is a chance that Inside Out 2 might talk about Bing Bong in a flashback or talk about how important he was, but it's unlikely that he will be a main character in the sequel.
Bing Bong Emotion
In the film "Inside Out," Bing Bong is not an emotion, but rather, he is Riley Andersen's imaginary friend who represents happy memories from her childhood. He helps Joy and Sadness a lot in Riley's mind, and it proves how memories are really important in forming who she is.
Where to watch Inside Out 2?
Inside Out 2 is available to watch in UK cinemas and IMAX starting from Friday, June 14. If you would rather watch it at home, you can also stream the movie later on Disney+. Disney's streaming service has the original Inside Out and other Pixar movies, so you can watch all the emotional adventures at home.
Amy Poehler announced the release of Inside Out 2 at Disney's D23 expo in September 2022, making fans' dreams of a sequel come true after a long wait. In 2015, director Pete Docter didn't plan on making a sequel. But in early 2016, he began thinking of ideas for one. After releasing Toy Story 4 in 2019, Pixar had been concentrating on making new stories instead of sequels. However, after the success of Lightyear in 2022, they chose to go ahead with making Inside Out 2 and Toy Story 5.
