Personality[]
Notes and Trivia[]
Gloom is a mysterious and dark character. He only appears as an antagonistic and invisible force, literally as a hidden shadow. He may come from the void Memory dump and can destroy things that are forgotten. During depression the whole mind becomes dark. His abilities are to grow and become bigger as he becomes important in a person's mind, and is able to make it become insensitive. In the film, it is accidentally created by Sadness and becomes bigger and stronger when Anger destroyed almost all of Riley's personality. In the end it was Sadness, who, persuaded by Joy, ends up stopping him once and for all by taking out the light bulb with the idea of run away to Minnesota; with the result that both emotions form a new mixed Core Memory.[source?]
Gloom is one of the 27 emotions that were chosen for the film by the writers.[source?]
Gloom was originally going to be a visible penumbra that was going to get bigger as he got more important. The first concepts of him can be seen in the Book The Art of Inside Out.[source?]
Another attempt was to do Gloom as a male emotion and a visible character, as depicted in conceptual art.[source?]
