Apparently
PIXAR is making a sequel to MONSTERS INC. Apparently, the good folks at
HijinksEnsue have their own ideas about it's premise. Meanwhile, (Director) Pete Docter revealed the original Pitch he gave for MONSTERS, INC to be slightly more adult:
Well, my idea was that what it was about was about a 30 year old man who is like an accountant or something, he hates his job, and one day he gets a book with some drawings in it that he did when he was a kid from his mom, and he doesn’t think anything of it and he puts it on the shelf and that night, monsters show up. And nobody else can see them. He thinks he’s starting to go crazy, they follow him to his job, and on his dates, and all this- and it turns out these monsters are fears that he never dealt with as a kid.
And each one of them represents a different kind of fear. As he conquers those fears, the guys who he slowly becomes kind of friends with, they disappear as he conquers those fears. It’s this bittersweet kinda ending where they go away, and so not much of that stayed.
I would like to see THAT movie as well. Perhaps not by Pixar though. Reminds me of the short story
"Eumeinedes in the Fourth Floor Lavatory" by Orson Scott Card.
