Monsters Inc. 2?

Post by Sotiris »

While Docter offered up a slew of stories about the early production of Monsters, he also commented on whether audiences could ever expect to see another adventure for the film’s main monster duo, Mike and Sulley.

“You never say never — who knows what will happen?” Docter says. “We purposely went with a prequel for Monsters University because we didn’t want to answer some of the questions about what happens to Boo, and how does she grow up, and things like that. It would have to be really compelling, which is hopefully the benchmark for all of our sequels, anyway.”

The internet has generated its fair share of completely unfounded rumors about a purported Monsters, Inc. 3, but the most frequent speculation always seems to come back to Boo, the adorable babbling toddler from the first film. For one reason or another, fans seem to want an update on whereabouts (she’d be around high school age by now).

Strangely enough, such a Boo-focused sequel would actually return the Monsters, Inc. story to one of its earliest, albeit scrapped, pitches: an adult interacts with the monsters of his youth. “Part of that idea was like a Peter Pan-type thing, where [Wendy] had been visited by Peter Pan as a kid and had sort of half-forgotten who he was,” Docter explains.

I can go one way or the other. In the end, I'll definitely see it.

But to put some fears to rest:

"But, to reiterate, a Monsters, Inc. sequel is not nigh, nor is it even on the table right now at Pixar"

Monsters,Inc. fans may not be getting to see how Boo grew up in the movie, but we now have a look at how she's grown up 15 years later
(This has a couple cute throwback photos.)

I wouldn't mind them making a movie out of the scrapped concept, but definitely not with Boo.

With different characters in the same universe, I might be open to the idea of another Monsters film. If the franchising at Pixar is going to continue anyway, I'd rather see a spin-off.

Q: Do you think about which stories you feel, for lack of a better term, deserve to be franchised?

Pete Docter: I always thought there was some rule that would be the formula for what films become franchises or what gets sequels, and there isn't. It’s much looser, but obviously, it's based on all of the above. We have to find something we think is worthy, first and foremost. It should be something hopefully the audience responded to — and then we could still not find anything. We've been searching for ideas for a Monsters, Inc. sequel for a long time, and we haven't seen enough to start working on anything there yet.

When asked if the selection should be considered a backdoor way into a third theatrical film, Szykowny says: “We don’t get too deep into what [Pixar] has planned in the future.”
