Aside from the Pixar universe theory, there isn’t much in common between the two Toy Story and Monsters, Inc., but an interesting detail about the latter has given way to a theory connecting the two films’ stories.Pixar continues to dominate the animation world, and it all started in 1995 Toy Story, the first fully computer-animated feature film, changed the world of animation forever and helped establish Pixar as the leading studio in animation. Since then, Pixar has continued to deliver high-quality animated films with heartwarming stories and relatable characters that explore different places, worlds and creatures.
In 2001, Pixar took audiences into a world where the monsters hiding in the closet were actually real, but they had their own worlds, rules, and societies, and not all monsters were mean and scary. Monsters, Inc. Follow monster James P. “Sully” Sullivan (voiced by John Goodman) and Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), two best friends as they Work together in a title called “Energy Factory,” which generates electricity by scaring human children. The monsters believe humans are poisonous and are very careful not to bring anything from their world into theirs, and of course, they don’t let children travel into their world either. Everything takes a turn when a little human girl named Boo infiltrates the factory, and Sully and Mike find a way to get her home before it’s too late.
However, not all monsters in Sully’s world are as friendly as he and Mike, because there is Randall (played by Steve Buscemi), a chameleon-like monster who can blend into the surrounding environment and is Sully’s antagonist in the Scream series. Now, as mentioned above, Toy Story and Monsters, Inc. Not much in common, but there is a theory that connects the two worlds through Randall, who could have Toy Storyis Andy’s designated monster, an important detail may hint at this.
How ‘Monsters, Inc.’ Connects to ‘Toy Story’
It’s a tradition for Pixar movies to add Easter eggs and references to other films that don’t actually mean anything, like connections between story and characters, or being set in the same world – however, these details and other coincidences has made way for the Pixar Universe theory, which attempts to place all Pixar films in the same universe through a complex and sometimes confusing storyline.In it, the government tries to harness human “energy” in different ways, and after trying to do it through super-powered people (e.g. The Incredibles), these attempts to make toys a conduit of power, inspiring children’s raw emotions and bringing them to life, as shown here Toy Story.The world continues to evolve and find ways to harness energy, and Monsters, Inc This fits the theory at the end of the timeline, when animals evolved beyond humans and became monsters that also needed human emotions for power.To gain power, they travel through the portal into the past, just like monsters do Monsters, Incand the screams of the children are the power they so need.
Monsters, Inc. theory: Randall is Andy’s designated monster
Whether you believe in the Pixar universe theory or not, the fact is Monsters, Inc. The monsters can travel through portals to the human world (whether it’s the past, the future, or just a different world, depending on each viewer), and since this is a Pixar movie, it has Easter eggs tied to past films, including Toy Story. One of these is in a scene where Randall practices his chameleon talents by blending into different backgrounds, one of which has a bedroom wall covered in wallpaper just like the wallpaper in Andy’s room. Toy Story.This was interpreted as Randall being Andy’s designated monster, which makes more sense when linked to another theory Toy Story and Monsters, Inc.The article says that the blue monster who ran back in fear because the child in his assigned room almost touched him and was in great danger of “death” actually encountered Toy StorySid, this is because a poster in the boy’s room is briefly seen, the same as the one seen in Sid’s room – however, the monster said the child was a girl, so it’s possible he encountered Sid sister Hannah instead of her evil brother. These theories actually lend themselves to Pixar universe theory, and they add an interesting connection between two of Pixar’s most popular films.
