Jim

Jim is a character from the 2020 Disney/Pixar short film Out.
==Background==
Jim serves as Greg's pet dog who lives with her owners. In addition to loving her owner Greg, Jim is also shown to have a dislike of cats as hinted when she saw the illustration of a cat on a calendar, which she began to rip apart. Aside from this, Jim also likes playing with her chew toy, which her owner Greg gives to her. When Greg wore Jim's collar, the former ended up having Jim's body, causing both Greg and Jim to have their personalities swapped. This led to Jim (who has Greg's personality) to retrieve her collar so that she can have her own personality back, to which she was able to through her determination, despite the fact that her mother is protective of Jim's overreacted personality in trying to get her own personality back. After Jim and Greg both get their bodies switched due to the fact that Jim obtained her own collar from Greg, they retain their own respective personalities once again.
==Role in the short==
Jim is first seen playing with her chew toy where Gigi, a celestial cat, blows a bubble onto Jim's collar, making it magical (which Jim is unaware of) just as Greg takes his dog home. Jim later overhears Greg's parents entering their house where Greg's parents plan to start their conversation with Greg at the kitchen. Later, when Greg returns to his room, he suddenly wears his collar, causing both Jim and Greg to switch bodies respectively. Jim attempts to retrieve her own collar when she passes by Greg's mother in the kitchen, which she tells her to stay. Jim attempts to open the door for her to retrieve the collar from Greg. After Greg's mother finishes preparing the pizza casserole for her son, Jim notices the open door in an attempt to retrieve her collar only for Greg's mother to close the door, leaving him unable to escape. Greg's mother feels furious of the mess Jim made at their house, which after Jim bites her arm, Greg's mother storms off in frustration.
Jim later approaches Greg's mother, who is stressed about the move from her family's house and as Jim approaches Greg's mother, who talks about her sadness over her son moving away, it reminds Jim of her owner Greg when Jim returns to Greg's room just as she sees Greg (who is under control by Jim) only for Greg to escape just as Jim approaches her owner, she grabs her collar from Greg, causing Jim and Greg to both return to normal. Jim then shows Greg the photo of his relationship with Manuel on his photo. Later that night, Greg later tosses a marshmallow into Jim's mouth (due to the fact that she cannot drink hot cocoa, due to chocolate being a hazard for dogs) just before running outside as Jim continues playing with her penguin toy while Greg introduces Manuel to his parents.
==Trivia==
*The part where Jim in Greg's body chases a squirrel is an homage to Dug chasing a squirrel from the 2009 Disney/Pixar film Up.
*The chew toy that Jim uses is actually a cameo of Wheezy from the Toy Story franchise.
