Biography

Inside Out

Anger is accompanied with Joy and the other emotions when Riley gets older. He and the other emotions are angered with Riley's fearful memories, being the main cause of Riley getting into trouble. Without Joy and Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear began noticing what is happening to Riley when moving back to Minnesota. They try to save headquarters, but Joy and Sadness come back. Eventually, the three remaining emotions come to the conclusion that the three of them can't seem to cope with Riley's actions without Joy, and soon Anger decides to take drastic measures to plant the idea of Riley running away back to Minnesota in order to be happy once more. He eventually carries out the ordeal, despite Fear's protest and Disgust's skepticism, and after seeing that the idea can not be undone, Fear and Disgust immediately regret the decision they made, and Anger soon begins to see the consequences and has second thoughts about carrying out the idea not long afterwards.

In the end however, Joy encourages Sadness to help provide comfort to Riley in order to nullify the corruption going on inside the headquarters. Afterwards, he and the other emotions reconciliate and continue working together to help Riley adapt to her new life in San Francisco.

Inside Out 2

Anger now plays a much larger role when he continues to support more for Riley. After Anger and the emotions are selected for hockey camp, they learn that Riley's friends, Bree and Grace, are being transfer to another school. And then, Riley's new emotions, Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment try to take over her new life by adding negative scenarios. Anger was the first to stand up to Anxiety with his fury as a warning after witnessing her disposing the good belief. Later Anger, Joy, Sadness, Disgust and Fear get locked up in Riley's secrets. Later they meet Bloofy (who Anger personally hates, due to his education annoyances) and Lance Slashblade who help them escape with Bloofy's sidekick, Pouchy, who has a sack of dynamite. Later, after Sadness enter the pipe to get back to headquarters in order to stop Anxiety (despite her lack of defense) they try to go to the other side to retrieve the good beliefs in order to restore Riley's good personality. After they insult Joy for being delusional, she had a total breakdown until she's in despair, Anger felt sorry for Joy, and he reveals how compassionate he was for her. And then he decided to make things right by using a hose to scale their way up to get to the Bad Memory Hill. After going through Imagination Land, he supports Joy to tell the other Mind Workers to fight back. While surviving from the brainstorm, they made it to Bad Memory Jills. Unfortunately, despite getting the good beliefs, Joy was already out of hope again until Anger is now forced to summon Pouchy who used the dynamite to for an avalanche to surf all the way to headquarters. But they were too late to stop Anxiety. However, Joy managed to get through to her and use their own beliefs to give in a better personality of Riley. Soon, Anger decides to have Pouchy as a new sidekick.
