[edit] Manga

I agree that the reference to the manga version should be here. I don't see the relevance of the lists and indexes of manga links. Those belong in an article about manga rather than here. I intend to do some trimming. Any thoughts before I do? Glenn6502 14:49, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Universe or World

I just watched "Monsters, Inc." yesterday. It seems to me that the monsters live on another world, whether in a parallel dimension or not is irrelevant. When they go through a closet door, they are coming in to our world using the door as a portal. This is similar to the stargates, though not as big nor nearly as noisy. Unless someone objects within a week, I'm going to change it back to talk about "world". Val42 18:20, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Animated shorts

What animated short(s) aired with this movie at any time? This includes in theters or on DVD/VHS. --Wack'd About Wiki 16:57, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

It aired with For the Birds (which is unrelated to Monsters Inc.) in cinemas and, on the VHS and DVD release, it also featured Mike's New Car, in which Mike gets a new car (duh). Squidward2602 21:16, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup?

The article is tagged as needing a cleanup. I can't see anything wrong with it. Shall I remove the notice?

--JimmyTheWig 11:23, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I just randomly stumbled upon this article, and it seems to me that it does need some cleanup, particularly in the "Plot" section. The plot summary is not concise at all, and would be very confusing to someone who has not seen the film. I have not seen the film in a couple years, so this was particularly evident to me as I read it. Anyways, I was just voicing my opinion as it seemed like no one was saying anything. I am agreeing with the cleanup notice. 71.112.229.9 03:55, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. We're watching it about three times a week with our two year old (lucky it's such a great film), so it was bound to make sense to me!

Will try and write something better when I have a chance.

--JimmyTheWig 08:37, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I cleaned the text up and added some details. Please let us know if the cleanup tag can be removed now. -Wilfredo Martinez 05:59, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured Article?

What are anybody's thoughts on trying to improve this article to FA standard? Naturally, the first step would be a peer review, then we can work on it. It would be nice to emulate the success of the Final Fantasy articles and have several Pixar articles featured. RMS Oceanic 10:21, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Can i have a link to monster inc game

[edit] Original short film

Years before this movie came out I saw a (differently) animated short on IFC's short film showcase called Monsters, Inc and the concept was the same. Either this movie is based on that or Disney's got some splanin' to do.

Has anyone else seen the short I'm talking about? I'm trying to locate it (as well as reference materials) but am so far having little to no luck. Any thoughts/help?

[edit] Images

The images here need to be replaced; They're blurry and obviously photos taken of a TV. I can replace them soon with pictures off of my Monsters Inc. DVD with my computer. I just need to know how you attach the copyright information so the images won't be taken down. If you know, please reply and tell me, please!Catcher Block 02:07, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cast Section

Is there much point in having the cast of all the different languages that MI was dubbed in on the English page? Shouldn't these be moved to that language's respective article? RMS Oceanic 11:58, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
