Bullying is more school-oriented.
That’s not to say there are idiots and jerks in college…it’s just if you DID want to do bullying and what to try a twist on it…do it back in High School, flip THAT stereotype on it’s feet and prove to make it something astonishing.
taps lip No…the theme here has to be change or friendships, probably both. But that’s my guess. After all the tibit plot is about Sullivan and Wazowski going from enemies to friends.
There are many way “enemies” can manifest though. The relationship doesn’t have to be the kind of sworn enemies who hate each other’s guts. It can be, I don’t know, sport enemies!! Remember Mike’s prowess on the dodge ball field? “I was the fastest one out there. Of course I was the ball!” See, I can totally imagine Sully and Mike developed a dodge ball rivalry back in college!
Aww, I was looking forward to the first time multiple Pixar movies would be released in a year. 
However, I was a bit suspicious of the production time being that short, so it’s a good thing, really. Makes me less worried.
What I just realized is that this assures us that Pete Docter’s new film will be released in 2014. Because I don’t think Pixar will ever release two films in the same year.
You never know! Just because it didn’t work in 2012 doesn’t think it ever will.
Exactly. The delay of one production team doesn’t affect every one.
actually pixar has been delaying some of their latest projects, remember that at first, Brave was supposed to be released this year in November and Cars 2 in this summer, later they cancelled Newt, the original film which was supposed to see the light next year (2012), and after all this changeable schedule M.U. appeared and we know what we have, it looks like pixar will keep releasing a film per year, they see more profit in summer dates and home video sales better on fall season
It could be coincidence, and that the films weren’t ready yet. Releasing films twice in a year works for some studios, it could do well for Pixar.

Aw man, so it’s OFFICIAL now that it’s a university setting? I am not really happy about this.
I am leaning more to the pessimistic side with regards Randall and at most I hope he has a very brief apperance. I think I’d be more optimistic if say they decided to do a sequel in addition to this. It’s doubtful Randall will be protrayed as a rounded character to me.
Of course regardless, it doesn’t change what happened in the original movie. Once again repetition here but while Sulley did was perfectly understandable- no matter their past it doesn’t make it right either which is the main issue in the original.
We’ll see what happens. But can’t say I’m optimistic. Plus the ending will be strange and there will be no sense of suspence since we KNOW Sulley and Mike will be friends at the end. And alive. There will be no scene like in TS3 where we may for a moment think Woody and the others could die or get seriously hurt permanently.
Plus I don’t get the idea of a university- since training was actually IN the factory in the original movie. In the factory. It seemed realistic for the setting and premise too and the type of job they had. It’s basically just safety rules and being able to keep your cool (at least for a little while I guess though there are some blips because with the toxicity thing iot’s more highly stressed) as well as acting skills. Oh and paperwork by assistants. It’s just not a job which needs a degree. My first JOB (a tour guide) at 16/17 would have amounted to the a larger amount of training except without the toxicity issue- other than that just need a damn hard psyche test to work out the people who can deal with it.
This doesn’t and I don’t think it really fits. I mean you can teach safety rules in training or even through public knowledge.
I’m still going to see it, but I can’t say I’m happy except over the idea someone NEW is working on it and I didn’t really know if I wanted Pete or Bob on it.
This means there’s still some hope to me.
But not much.
Prove me wrong Pixar prove me wrong.
(I really (seriouslly no lie), want you to.

When it comes to bullying it can happen (in America in faternities and sororities for example it can apparently be horrific especially with pressure and of course there’s sometimes that one professor…) but it’s much less likely because well in the first place nerds and smart kids can get picked on at school- but they’re more likely to go for and attend university. Of course nerds can still be bullies but… yeah.
Also even the ex-bullies who attend… well they tend to have grown up by that stage and changed eventually or had a few hard knocks and realised they’re -not- the centre of the universe and whatever they were at school is meaningless. One year at university can do a lot to people- a whole degree time line is a life time. (As someone who is aquaintances/polite terms with several such people who made my life a bit difficult at school- though that’s not a big deal considereing I became friends with someone who aggravated me and vice-versa while AT school). Because people of course grow up sometimes when they have to and get a new perspective.
Chipping in my two cents (late again…)
I simply took the Tweet with them mentioning Randall as an acknowledgment to the fans. Pixar can’t have missed how popular he is 
and I believe they consider him a cool character. Don’t most animators/directors/etc enjoy writing the “bad guy” after all? Of course this doesn’t help any idea that they might portray Randall positively…more the opposite! But ah well…at this point I’m just so excited to be getting to see Randall and all the others back in animated form on the big screen, the other details aren’t mattering so much.
Also something to consider; if fans could latch onto Randall when we can presume he was at his “worst” in the first film, surely he won’t be so bad, or at least he’ll be a little different in the prequel. If nothing else he’ll bring renewed interest to the fans I’m sure, whatever his role!
I’m going to bring up the Abominable Snowman, because he is the only character we know other than Mike, Sulley, and Randall that it definitely going to be in this. Do you think he will be a student at the university? If not, what else?
I don’t recall the AB being a definite here. He was more of a…“circumstantial” character. What other type of popular monster roams the Himalayas?
Besides, unsure he’d take courses at a Fear university. Mostly cause…he doesn’t seem like the type to be scarey. Yeah, he CAN be, and would certainly scare the wits out of kids…but he doesn’t seem like the one to take that sort of job. He’s more of a friendly spokesperson type to me.
And given his appearance was brief, doubt they’d go back to him (although one thing that makes him very interesting is WHY he was there in the first place).
Well, maybe we see him get vanished.
On a second thought I actually had back when I thought this was going to be a sequel, we just know that John Ratzenberger will perform in the movie, but maybe he’ll be a different, related character. What about the “King Itchy”, the Yeti?
It would seem weird to have John Ratzenberger be someone different, so I’m going to stand by the idea that the Abominable Snowman will show up in some form. Just a theory though. 
Banished? Hmm…perhaps. I wouldn’t MIND seeing it.
I mean some opinions levy to him having been a victim of Waternoose’s, considering the Banishment Door he somehow had access to went to the Himalayas. Though it’s skeptical if Waternoose is in the film, it could be said maybe we see him actually doing the deed, after all it’s already known he’s the true antagonist of the second film.
If I recall John has been…well this is off the top of my head but he’s done a sorta “Guest-like voice” acting, taking on characters here and there within the film, so he may not be restricted to just AB.
As for other “famous monsters”, it’s suggestible. After all, many of these “monsters” have been famous WAY longer than others, and definitely longer than when Sullivan and Wazowski were at a university.
Still…I believe that there are more than one “Famous” monsters. Take Bigfoot, several sitings all over. Maybe there IS a Bigfoot, but maybe there are other monsters that look just like him.
So who knows really on that end, certainly is a possibility.
John’s done one voice in every Pixar movie. He was Hamm in all the Toy Stories, and will be Mack in both Cars. I don’t see why they would have him play anyone else in this, and I don’t expect them to break the tradition.
Once could argue Boo should be a M.I. tradition, but she’s defiantly not appearing if this is a true prequel…unless of course there’s a nod to M.I. itself like I described.
Still, yes John wouldn’t have tradition broken. He’ll voice something or other. There’s plenty of open spots here.
I was referring to the tradition of having John Ratzenberger be in every movie, not to the tradition of the Abominable Snowman (one movie can’t count as a tradition of any kind). It just doesn’t make sense that Pixar would cast John as anyone other than the snowman.
Yes I understand, John being a voice in every film is a tradition, and in that tradition he was AB for M.I. And with a degree of reason, tradition dictates John will voice someone in the prequel.
It doesn’t necessarily mean AB…it’s a possibility, but not clinched yet.
One thing to take into account…Sullivan and Wazowski didn’t even speak that much like “good ole friends” or acquaintances in the first film, only knowing him by reputation. So if Pixar is keeping on track, they don’t actually meet him.
Like said possibility. You probably want to see AB, and I’m certainly NOT saying it isn’t a possibility.
Wow, good thought! I hope that they also show us what the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot look like!
In the first movie, Mike and Sully didn’t act like they know the Abomnible Snowman in person (I mean in Monster). I’m sure Pixar will fit him in somewhere, after all, they need their lucky charm John Ratz.!
