"Originally, Boo was actually going to return in the second Monsters, Inc. film (which was then supposed to take place ten years after the original rather than before it) as a teenager. In this film, Sulley and Mike, while trying to celebrate her birthday find out that Boo and her family have already moved to a different house when they find an old woman sleeping in what was once her room one day, causing the two monsters to travel into the human world to look for her new house. Unfortunately, the two monsters start to forget how to get back to their world, and to make matters worse, Boo doesn't even remember them anymore since teens and adults do not believe in monsters, nor does think they're funny, and the only way to get back is to try to make her laugh again. The reason why this sequel was scrapped in the first place was because John Lasseter thought that the final shot of the first was just too heartwarming to be continued"
Would this have worked better as a continuation to Monster's Inc?
>The reason why this sequel was scrapped in the first place was because John Lasseter thought that the final shot of the first was just too heartwarming to be continued And then they made Toy Story 4
John Watson
Why the fuck is this world so long in KH3? I’ve yet to find Boo’s door and I’ve long stopped caring.
Tyler Sanchez
I'm kind of with him; the ending of the first worked well and the second story as a completely new story worked well. I'd much rather have its unique plot than yet another "there and back again journey" cartoon movie. Frankly, though I love Sulley-Mike interactions, the characters just don't seem fit for it.
Levi Johnson
The mouse wants money.
Brody Evans
Just play Kingdom Hearts 3 and see
Hudson Ramirez
no source and sounds like bullshit
Justin Scott
The ending we got was the best one possible. Never second guess.
Evan Morales
That plot sounds full of holes. Boo doesn't remember them, which implies they didn't keep in touch, but they just randomly decide to visit for her birthday 10 years later? Why didn't they do it the 9 previous years?
Brayden Nelson
Not really but Monsters U was still a bad idea. Just leave things standalone.
Jacob Gonzalez
A proper sequel for Monsters Inc, as in takes place after the first film, should probably focus on the Monster world transitioning from Scare-based Fuel to Laughter-based fuel. While it would be a relatively easy shift since it seems the current machinery is already compatible, you still have to deal with all the scarers possibly losing their job entirely, the University having to deal with a dead subject, and the backlash these sudden changes cause. We have movies about how important it is to find better energy sources, but how about one where we look into how we'd actually make the change?
Sebastian Cox
I agree.
Ryan Smith
I don't want to see any fucking teeanger Boo porn anyway
Landon Moore
...
Ethan Green
>the second story as a completely new story worked well A long dated Animal House knockoff for kids worked well?
Wyatt Rogers
She’s finally legal
Blake Green
It would have been weird to leave the monster world, though. I don't think that would work.
Also the plot sounds interesting and exciting at first glance, but it kind of falls apart if you think about it for too long. They need to make her ... laugh? There's not a lot of tension there. Push comes to shove and she can just put on a John Mulaney special.
Sounds more ambitious and more creative than the prequel that we got but idk if the risk would have paid off..
Jose Thomas
That sounds shit. Glad we got the sequel instead. Dunno what they could do for a sequel. Maybe make it about how switching to laughter causes an upheaval of the monster world? I mean shit you're flipping everything monsters have always aspired to be. There's got to be traditionalists and scares fighting the change to laughter. Bound to cause a lot of chaos even if the energy crisis is solved. And maybe Randall could come back and have a redemption arc or some shit. Eh, probably best to leave the property alone after MU anyway.
All the KH3 worlds overstay their welcome but I found Monsters Inc to be the best world. It's the closests we'll ever get to a world resembling something from KH2 in that game.
Anthony Harris
>forget how to get back to their world
You... go through a closet door. It's not hard.
Adam King
>None of us do... Speak for yourself faggot
Jason Peterson
Wow this Lasseter sounds like /ourguy/!
Angel Moore
Randall was deep fried and devoured by white trash
Jace Rivera
I’ll play devil’s advocate, you could only go theough the door if the monster world had it activated. If anything it might be “We’re stuck here for a week until they start making kids laugh in rural Kentucky again.”
Kingdom Hearts 3 showed that he escaped the hillbillies.
Charles Hughes
This bitch has some bad fuckin parents
Ethan Foster
>worse, Boo doesn't even remember them anymore since teens and adults do not believe in monsters, nor does think they're funny, and the only way to get back is to try to make her laugh again.
I’m with Lasseter on this one, that sounds like it would have retroactively ruined the ending of the first film.
Kevin Wood
I could see something like this as an allegory about the dichotomy between drama and comedy, edgedark and quipquip, etc.
Remember when Sully and Mike were shoved into the Himalayas?
So did I. Pleasant surprise given I'm usually not one for prequels.
Aaron Wright
You do know that KH3 was actually canon? I just to believe that in that monster’s verse they actually succeeded in collecting a lot of laughter. Minus the boss fight at the end, and Randel was actually put back inside the door he was once inside and Sora just actually locked it for good. It’s canon and no one is going to tell me other wise.
No. When you have a self contained story arc and you’re insistent on pumping out more movies for the shekels it’s better off to do a prequel or anthology or something akin to that rather than bastardize and cheapen the events of the first.
See: >Toy Story >Ralph Breaks the Internet >Finding Dory >Incredibles 2 >Cars >countless live action or non CG animated sequels I can’t name off the top of my head
William Martin
Now that the fat bastard's out of the picture, I wouldn't mind coming back for an actual sequel.
Andrew Evans
>using the snakes instead of fingers Cute.
Jason Ortiz
It was pretty good because it didn't rely on its relation to the original
Matthew Murphy
>they find an old woman sleeping in what was once her room one day The twist is that she was the old woman all along and time moved differently in the humanverse.
Leo Cruz
YOU SEE THAT CLOCK
Levi Gutierrez
>The reason why this sequel was scrapped in the first place was because John Lasseter thought that the final shot of the first was just too heartwarming to be continued That's not true. The script is real but this part is bullshit.
Here is what really happened: Around 2004, Disney wanted Pixar to make some cheapquels, Pixar said no and cut all ties to Disney. The mouse became angry and realized they could make those cheapquels by their own because they had the rights to all Pixar movies right until The Incredibles, so they created a new studio called Circle 7 made to just create Pixar cheapquels. At the end Bob iger became CEO and managed to just buy Pixar altogether. Circle 7 was closed and all planned sequels were """scrapped""" (Toy Story 3, Finding Nemo 2 and this movie).
Jonathan Moore
3 was the best one in the series, user. What are you smoking?
