Can't get enough Inside Out? We don't blame you.

The surprisingly mature animated feature, which explores the life of 11-year-old Riley, is easily one of Pixar's best. Even after multiple viewings, there are plenty of new details to spot.

But perhaps even more surprising is what was left on the cutting room floor. Or rather -- given that this is Pixar, where every movie is obsessively storyboarded -- left on the wall.

You can watch one such example, debuting on Mashable, above. Introduced by Inside Out director Pete Docter and voiced by the cast, the clip reveals that Riley had more than her fair share of imaginary friends.

If you've seen the movie, you'll almost certainly remember Bing Bong, the tragic pink elephant in a bowler hat forgotten by Riley but indelibly etched into the brains of every viewer. Above, Bing Bong introduces two of Riley's emotions to more of her old-school nonexistent chums.

What wouldn't we give to see Mrs. Scribbles fully animated in Pixar style? Then again, considering Bing Bong's lump-in-the-throat exit from the movie, it's probably for the best that she wasn't featured. We wouldn't want to see her erased forever.
