I think it’s kinda hilarious how Boo calls Sully “kitty” the whole time and Mike Wizowski, is full government name the entire movie 😂

Mary Gibbs, daughter of late storyboard artist Rob Gibbs, voiced Boo when she was only three years old. Because she was too young to sit in a recording booth, they simply followed her around the studio with a microphone, and recorded the things she said, adding to the authencity. She has a YouTube channel, Boo Grown Up, where she recounts growing up as the voice of Boo.

This movie came out the same year I was born, and my mom started calling me, boo because I looked like the little girl in the movie. ❤

Reasons I watch Cinema Therapy: 30% - the amazing messaging that can be drawn from movies 20% - the amazing analysis of movies 50% - watching middle aged men lose their minds over iconic childhood favorites

babe wake up a new cinema therapy pixar episode just dropped

The part where Sully scares Boo breaks my heart every time. That poor wee girl. Always makes me cry. I did this to my daughter a few months ago. We had a newborn baby, and we were exhausted. My little girl just wanted my attention and I snapped at her. All she wanted was to show me a picture she drew of her and me, and I hurt her.

You know what's something else I have noticed? And i didn't notice until you guys brought it up about Sully always bailing Mike out. Mike never takes advantage of Sully for it. He thanks Sully for the reservations and he doesn't think to go to Sully for his paperwork, Sully genuinely butts in to help and Mike doesn't abuse that. He's genuinely grateful for his friend and I think that's a testament to eachother's friendship.

I wasnt a parent, but I am a much older brother, like 10 years older than the oldest of the second set to three. And that sully moment hits hard now. Ive been there.

I love how understated Mike's care is for Sully. He says "I care about you" from his actions while Sully says it with gestures and words. It's a great lesson for kids that people demonstrate love in unique ways.

One of the most underappreciated facts about this movie is the dynamic between Mike and Sully, in a genre of buddy movies saturated with the conflict of an unlikely duo becoming friends by the end, it’s great to see a movie start off with two established best friends, which not only allows the story to have better pacing, but also makes the moments where Mike & Sully conflict much more believable and emotional

12:57 I love this shot. Sully really never saw it how the children (technically victim) must see him and all monsters when “they were just doing their job”.

“I don’t believe it… I’m in a YouTube video!!!” -Mike Wazowski (probably)

So glad you’re finally reviewing this one! Monsters Inc is the movie that helped me work through my fears of becoming a parent. And to this day, I still cry like a baby at the end 😭🥰

One thing I do like about the movie is that scaring human children is the normal and not considered immoral in that world (and the fact it runs their technology). Silly doenst even see it wrong till he sees how it affects Boo. And that change does have a positive effect where by the end of the movie the entire Economy changes where making children laugh is better for them and the mature world (as laughter is 10X more Effective anyways)

Recommendations (if possible) - Hero psychology of Gwen Stacy: Across the Spiderverse - Character psychology of Marie: Unbelievable (8 episode miniseries) - Psychology of an antihero of Joel: HBO The Last of Us (possible Troy Baker guest star) - The Nanny McPhee movies - Nimona (possible guest star ND Stevenson) - Dreamworks Abominable - Over the Moon - Psychology of a Villain: Snow from Hunger Games (both prequel & original trilogy) - As They Made Us (w/ Mayim Bialik guest star) - Persepolis (possible Marjane Satrapi guest star)

My dad was a man who wanted to be loving, but he loved selfishly. So when he'd rage at me and my sister, which happened at the littlest inconvenience and assumption, instead of softening when he saw our tears and terror, he took that shame spiral and grew angrier at us for crying. Bizarrely, there were other times when he was deeply compassionate. But we never knew who we were going to get. And thus, the trauma bond. My point though: thank you to those who do soften when you've made a mistake with how your temper breaks. I can only imagine how healing that accountability can be.

My dad passed away when I was seven years old and this was his favorite movie. Every year I would watch this movie on his birthday. Today is his birthday. It’s also my last day at college and I graduate this weekend, following in his steps of being a teacher. It means the world to me that this is the video that y’all released today. Feels like a sign that my dad is proud of me for everything I accomplished.

It feels awful to watch Sully scare Boo when you're all grown up. Plus Boo's cries were heartbreaking. They were very realistic and sweet.

My understanding is that they got what they could from the actress in the booth and then just let wander around playing and had someone following her and recording. So they combined actual child play sounds and the dialogue in the edit to get the performance.
