It shows how easily joyful memories turn to sad ones when touched by sadness because
that’s the nature of memories. you can be happy that you have these memories, but it can
easily turn to sadness when you realise that it’s not like that anymore and things have
changed as you grow up.

Throughout the movie Inside out, Riley's shirt is expressed by all of her emotions {happy, sad,
disgust, fear, anger} she has pink lips that recall the red of Anger, a green dress for Disgust,
the purple bag she carries is symbolic of Fear (also the fact she's afraid of the emotions
will "contaminate" the core memories she carries), her own yellow skin and she has two
major colours of Sadness. Disgust drives her sense of taste and self-expression, Fear keeps
her aware and safe, and Anger gives her a competitive drive in sports, but Sadness has no
"role" until the finale. When Sadness sits with Bing Bong and listens to him, I literally
whispered to myself "oohhh, she's Empathy." Sadness lets Riley relate and understand the
rest of the world, which is such an important role to play
