What is the name of the Pixar short film focusing on Riley's first date?

The story behind the answer

The Pixar short film focusing on Riley’s first date is Riley’s First Date? The question mark is part of the official title, emphasizing the nervous uncertainty surrounding the event.

Released in 2015, the short takes place after the events of Inside Out. Riley is now 12 and plans to spend time with a boy named Jordan. The story largely shifts attention from Riley herself to the control rooms inside her parents’ minds, where their emotions try to interpret the situation and react appropriately.

Josh Cooley wrote and directed the short. It was first presented at the 2015 D23 Expo and later appeared with Inside Out’s home-video releases, including its digital and Blu-ray editions. The original film’s principal voice cast returned for the short, including Kaitlyn Dias as Riley and the actors portraying her emotions.

Viewers sometimes confuse this title with Pixar shorts such as Piper, Lava, or Sanjay’s Super Team. Those are unrelated shorts; Riley’s First Date? is specifically the post-film story about Riley, Jordan, and her parents’ anxious speculation.
