Are there any particular fanfics you've enjoyed which are not posted or made by anyone here on the board or yourself?
Provide us with links! I'll probably return at a later date and add my own but it's pretty late here so I'm off to bed for now. But yeah basically and fanfics not written by anyone here which you love and you recommend if they exist.

I could imagine Boo's dad (if she has the mother and father set up) would probably feel pretty threatened by Sulley even if they met on normal terms and he realised he wasn't a threat to his daughter. He's pretty much set up as a father figure for her in the original film after all.

One word: Mater. Most adult fans do not care for the guy at all and find him incredibly annoying. He's a big hit with little kids though which is really what the Cars franchise is all about at the end of the day.

Oooh yeah I remember this. I loved it a lot. Randall is hilarious when he's sick here.

I like to think the Dean's sorority, rather like RoR only accepts Scaring majors myself. Overall while a traditionalist she is able to change her mind- including on what is the 'true measure of a monster'. I kind of like her character arc in that it kind of shows no matter how old you get it's still possible to be surprised or learn something. No matter what age you get too, you won't have seen it all. There's a wealth of experiences to be had.
Because maybe in the end she wants to be more surprised now too. It seems if we're to take extra-canonical information on board she also can take on a challenge when she needs to- now becoming a 'headmistress of hilarity'. I like to think she talked a lot to Mike to get things running too.

/sprays everyone with a water bottle.
(Though yes that is adorable, new head canon: Randy's family first became aware of Randy's ability to disappear this way- he sneezed and he disappeared or maybe changed colours. He was so shocked himself he actually cried because he scared himself. Massive tears.).

Boo seemed to be gone for a considerable amount of time in the monster world and I think they would have noticed. Naturally the movie doesn't show they frightened and worried about her because that wasn't a point of the story but basically this thread as part of a discussion. Do you think they'd have run into legal trouble? Would they become (understandably) paranoid? Will they ever catch Sulley on his visits? Do you have any head canons on their personality and what not even though we never see them? Do you think Boo has any siblings? Where in the world do you think Boo is from? It's probably in America at the end of the day given it's Pixar and all and that's where they're from but I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Boo seems to be a friendly and happy little girl. And smart for her age really (less than three)- and her drawings are really good for someone her age (and show her real name to be 'Mary' as written on her drawings- so she can even write her name!) so I like to think her parents are pretty encouraging. Her room is pretty big so I think they're pretty well off too. Also Boo's toys seem to be pretty new so if she does have siblings or comes to have them I think she's probably the eldest or older girl in any case. (Even in upper class family's hand me down's can be a thing after all). Though she could be an only child too of course.
So any thoughts or ideas about Boo's family?

This is going to sound kind of strange but while Johnny actually has the potential based on his appearance to scare me when I was a kid- with the technique he used in the Scare Games all he'd do is make me jump a bit.
I guess you could say as a kid I was utterly terrified of things like demons (and heck for a lot of my teen years), but I was terrified of them because they were supposed to be intelligent in some way. The way Johnny scares is more like well, an animal soooo...
Yeah not really the reason I feared demons. I would jump, don't get me wrong but I wouldn't be utterly terrified.
He could maintain an animalistic streak and still be utterly terrifying- and add an edge too. But Johnny's appearance screams 'demon' and he doesn't fully utilise it IMO. Plus as we see in the cabin Sulley can pull off the terrifying wild animal thing better then he can with the right assistance and encouragement.
Look at that face though just as Chet is taking a picture though among other things. Now that for child!me would have been the face of pure and utter horror. Stare at me like that a little Johnny. Pull a version of the Squishy!technique and then rush me. Or something like that. Idk.

/laughs. I actually am really interested in Waternoose. He doesn't get a lot of attention though.
Though quite frankly if he was in more... 'adult' things in the fandom my eyes would probably burn out of their sockets. /laughs forever.

A thread dedicated to a character who requires far more attention. The Dean of Scaring herself! A thread for discussion's on her character arc, head canons and perhaps even extra-canonical information which isn't in the movie and might be unknown to a lot of us. Also if you ever run into any fanfics or fanart or fan videos on tumblr or other websites you should probably share! (Links mind you that is to the original source).

Oooh so Jazz is a victim of yours too?
She's so cruel isn't she Jazz.
(I still think of the Sulley's she occasionally sends me. Goddamn.)
These Mikes are fantastic. Haha.

I have actually never downloaded anything on itunes myself. But yeah I aim to get the special stuff some day.
I actually don't have all of Pixar's dvds in general. I have however in recent months gained a new appreciation for Brave. I know it's few people's favourite but I think ultimately it was pretty damn realistic in the mother's case for one thing and I liked her a lot as a character. It's one of those films which can grow on you with further viewings. I guess I would say I wish they'd used Merida's bow skills- making them be more useful besides fishing but apart from that I actually have few complaints? Though maybe this is more a topic for the Pixar board.

Some day if there is ever a third monster movie I wonder if they'd ever do a mass showing of all three movies after one another- maybe not in how they were made but say MU first and then MI etc. Heck they should probably do the same idea with the toy story trilogy. Then again as a family movie that might not work out too well... kids needed to use the restroom more often and all.
/awkward silence.
Moving on.
I kind of want to get the special two disc dvd for MU but I haven't acquired it yet. For MI I have two copies of the dvd- the collectors edition is one I keep at home (well my parents house), the single disc I take with me if I'm travelling away somewhere- like say when I was in university or whatever.

Oh man you mean you didn't? It's a good experience. I just kind of regret not seeing Monsters Inc in theatres myself- especially when they were re-showing it. There's just something about a cinema experience. Still if you round up some friends to see it or do a stream it can also be a lot of fun too.

For the record: I believe this sudden deletion is on me. This is given a message I've received here. I think there's been a misunderstanding. Hopefully things get sorted out and I'll see if I can get round this at some point. But Anthro: even though we may have disagreements outselves that doesn't mean you can't come here.
Sorry about this everyone.
