Pride is a rejected character in an early version of Disney/Pixar's 2015 animated feature film Inside Out. He was going to be one of the primary emotions in Riley's mind.
Early concepts of him can be seen in The Art of Inside Out book.
Development[]
In early versions of Inside Out, Pride was originally one of Riley's main emotions in early versions of the film, when Disgust didn't exist yet. In fact, he was in Disgust's place before being discarded.
As revealed in the deleted scene "Riley", Pride is shown to be a very pompous, loud and self assured emotion that feels the need to exclaim his presence to everyone around him and deems himself worthy of praise and applause, expressing confusion and disappointment when not gartered said attention (though at the same time he requested Joy to remind everyone to do so, showing that he does have a sense of respect for everyone despite his over confidence). He also feels like he needs to be the best at everything, and was royally offended when Joy told him that Ira (the old version of Anger) went on a tirade about how much better at cleaning than he is, prompting him to challenge and confront him. Pete Doctor has stated that Pride wants Riley to be the president, stating confidently that "WELL SHE'S GOOD ENOUGH" even when other Emotions expressed doubt due to her young age.
He was one of many Emotions that were considered for inclusion during the development of the film. When the number of emotions was reduced to five, Pride was scrapped and replaced by Disgust in the final version.

Trivia[]
- Originally, when the emotions had human names, Pride was going to be called Preston.
- His theme color was originally going to be purple, which ended up being used for Fear in the final version, since during the early versions, Fear was originally going to be white and then green (color originally occupied by Hope and ended up used for Disgust).
