Sadness — Based on Phyllis Smith
In 2015, Disney’s “Inside Out” became a box office sensation, thanks in no small part to its incredible cast. One of the standout characters from the film is Sadness, who, despite her fully blue appearance, shares some notable facial features with actress Phyllis Smith, who provides her voice. It’s not just about the glasses; subtle resemblances between Smith and her animated counterpart go beyond physical appearance.
Phyllis Smith’s resemblance to her character, Sadness, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that Disney animators invest in their creations. While Sadness may not look exactly like her voice actress, the shared facial features underscore the close connection between the two, further enhancing the character’s relatability and the overall success of “Inside Out.”
