Disgust is highly opinionated, extremely honest, and prevents Riley from getting poisoned — both physically and socially. She keeps a careful eye on the people, places, and things that Riley comes into contact with — whether that's broccoli or last year's fashion trend. Disgust always has the best of intentions and refuses to lower her standards.
Physical appearance[]
Disgust is the same height as Sadness. She has light green skin, shoulder-length dark green hair and eyelashes, and emerald green eyes. She is the only emotion with eyelashes.
She wears a spring green sleeveless dress with floral designs and a mint green belt with a dark green buckle forming a "D", forest green tight leggings, an orchid ascot, and orchid ballet flats. Her makeup consists of pink eye shadow, faint pink blush, and orchid lipstick.
Disgust is one of the five emotions controlling Riley's mind and helping her. She is first seen when Bill Andersen starts to feed broccoli to his daughter. Disgust is the fourth emotion to be introduced.
When their leader, Joy and another emotion, Sadness, literally gets lost in Riley's mind, she and the other emotions have to keep Riley's head on straight until Joy and Sadness get home. However, things go wrong sooner or later, they even decide to make Riley run away, even though Fear tells them how wrong that idea is. She belittles Sadness to a neutral degree due to her superficial teen attitude.
When Joy and Sadness reach headquarters, Anger tries to break the glass with a chair, but to no avail. Getting an idea, Disgust gets Anger to ignite his fire, and then, after putting on a welding mask, she uses him as a blowtorch to burn a hole in the glass for Joy and Sadness to climb through.
Disgust begs Joy to stop Riley and fix the problem but is shocked when Joy lets Sadness take control of Riley instead. Disgust is worried at first but is amazed when Sadness is able to pull the idea out of the console. Disgust, along with Anger and Fear, continue to watch in awe as Riley returns home where Sadness helps her admit to her parents that she misses Minnesota and how she hates the changes in living in San Francisco. As Riley's parents comfort her, Disgust, Anger, and Fear are moved by the scene as they watch Joy give Sadness the blue core memory (which she recovered from the Memory Dump) back and Sadness has Joy make Riley happy as she's being comforted by her parents. Their teamwork creates a new core memory consisting of the colors of both blue and yellow, creating a new Family Island, leaving Disgust, Anger, and Fear even more astounded.
Disgust appears in Disney Infinity's third installment as a playable character. However, Mindy Kaling did not reprise the role, as John Vignocchi explained that her agent said she was too busy.[1]
Disgust was recently added in the 1.5.0 update and is unlocked after reaching level 126. Her ability is to cause memories of the same color to disappear when hit.
According to Pete Docter, her appearance is based on that of broccoli, which, ironically, is what she, Riley, and the other emotions hate and what Pete Docter himself loves.
As shown in concept art, as well as in the first clips shown at the 2013D23 Expo, Disgust was first designed with a purple dress, had longer hair, and did not wear lipstick or have long eyelashes. Interestingly, while Riley's Disgust ended up having a green dress in the final film, Riley's mom's Disgust has retained a purple dress.
Before this, Disgust was supposed to look ugly. This was changed most likely to show that Disgust represents being disgusted instead of being disgusting.
In one of the first concept drawings, Disgust was, in the planning stages, portrayed as a male character during production, but was later switched to a female character.
Disgust's belt buckle is shaped like a capital "D" to represent the first letter in her name.
Disgust is the dominant Emotion of the Yeast of Eden Server.
Disgust has no involvement with Bing Bong, nor does she mention him.
Disgust has no emotion who is her polar opposite, unlike Joy & Sadness and Anger & Fear.
During a stage where the Emotions all had human names, Disgust was going to be called Nadia or Gretchen.
During the events of the film, Disgust is shown to be the least stringent around Anger's prolific outbursts as he takes control of Riley. This is likely to be out of the acceptance that this is beyond prevention and that any attempt to do so is null, as demonstrated when Fear attempts to discipline him only to be violently rebutted by Anger in retaliation, rather than simple apathy.
Unlike the rest of the emotions, Disgust is consistently seen casually smiling towards certain matters centred around the ideal of making improvements to Riley. This is in contrast to Joy, who is seen enthusiastically smiling regularly around matters revolving around Riley, or otherwise seen with generally smug expressions when making a point or plan under the assumption she is entirely correct.
Additionally, Disgust is one of the more vocal emotions about the more practical issues surrounding Riley, also contrasting Joy, who focuses more on the ideal of Riley being generally positive under baseless conjecture.
