Bing Bong is an imaginary friend character featured in Disney Pixar's 2015 film, Inside Out. He's a core memory amalgamation, composed of Riley Andersen's childhood joys and fantasies.

Physically, Bing Bong is a whimsical creature. He's part elephant, part cat, and part cotton candy, reflecting the unpredictable nature of a child's imagination. He's pink, soft, and smells delightfully of sugary sweetness.

In the film, Bing Bong serves as a guide to Joy and Sadness as they navigate Riley's mind. He yearns to remain relevant in Riley's life and desperately tries to return to Imagination Land. He struggles with the fading of his existence as Riley grows older and forgets him.

Ultimately, Bing Bong makes a selfless sacrifice, helping Joy escape the Memory Dump. This act ensures Joy's return to Headquarters and reinforces the film's themes of growing up, acceptance of sadness, and the importance of childhood memories.
