Checked up the voice actors for MI on IMDB. Mike and Sulley are featured for MI2, but not Randall. This may be good. We get to see more of MonsterWorld but not see Randall get ****ed.

IMDb is no more accurate at this point in time than Wikipedia. Neither DISNEY nor PIXAR has released ANY official word as to who is and who isn't being cast in the sequel, or what characters will or will not return. Keep in mind that like Wikipedia, ANYONE can edit or put up information on IMDb; you just need an IMDb Pro account, which means you have to charge it to your credit card. Keep in mind also that Mary Gibbs is listed as a cast member for the sequel, even though she is NOT an actress, but was just the young daughter of a Pixar sound tech, who might not even work there anymore, so I'm highly skeptical of her being in the cast of the sequel. Even if they DO have a teen or adolescent Boo in the sequel, they will probably go with either a known actress or at least a young lady who has real acting experience.
Word to the wise: until we hear or read it from a Disney person or Pixar person, and that person can be actually cites as a source of the information, DO NOT BELIEVE IT at this point in time, with regards to MI2!

I agree with pitbulllady. IMDb has been wrong before on many counts this early in a movies progress. There's just not a lot of information on the film since it was only announced a couple months ago. Mike and Sulley are pretty much a given for the film, so it's safe to say they're cast.
Of course, I might not see the film if Randall is absent. Especially if it's in 3D. Costly ticket that I might not me willing to pay if my favorite character is absent.

The thing that is killing me right now is just waiting until more information is released by the studio or Disney. We only have a release date, and Pixar has been exceedingly good about keeping spoilers from leaking out. The only reason that I am now looking forward to any Pixar movie is to possibly see a teaser from MI2, which hasn't hapenned so far, and we probably won't see anything else related to the sequel until maybe a year is left for the film's release. Although I'm also tempted to keep checking Wikipedia or any other source for any new info., I'm with PBL in regards to the credibility behind any claims that are not directly from an official Disney or Pixar source.

We probably won't get any good info, besides confirmation of cast, until around the time Brave is released. Which is also when we'll probably get a teaser. If we're lucky, maybe with the Cars 2 DVD we'll get some goods, but I doubt that.

Well, if Randall isn't in the movie, it would be better than "Randall comes back and Mike and Sulley kills him/get him killed for no reason other than the fact that he's a 'bad guy'." I hate those kind of plots. They're stupid and pointless, and serve no other purpose than to say "If you're good, you can do whatever you want and everyone will still think you're good and if you're bad, you're always going to be bad and deserve to be killed, most likely by the 'good guys'."
Real life isn't black-and-white, and I think movies shouldn't portray their characters like that.

Real life isn't black-and-white, and I think movies shouldn't portray their characters like that. No, especially not movies that are made by a studio whose claims state that they make movies for EVERYONE, not just little kids. KIDS especially need that reassurance that you cannot always judge others and that people can and do change for the better, that like ISN'T all black and white, as you said. While I would rather have a sequel in which there is no Randall and he's not even mentioned, leaving us to imagine his what happened to him, I still wouldn't go see it. I'm just not that much a fan of the others to pull me into a theater or make me plunk down cash for a DVD. It would still be better than the "Randall returns for revenge and gets beat up/killed by Mike AND Sulley(Mike wasn't the sole guilty one there in the first movie, and he wasn't the one who actually THREW Randall into that trailer, either)". pitbulllady

After all as mentioned elsewhere- kids movies, or family movies, or movies for everyone just have to be simple enough to understand.
Simple in this context doesn't mean stupid after all.

There aren't so much information about this movie...but I hope,if they put Randall in the sequel,that Sulley and Mike will NOT kill him! *afraid*

There aren't so much information about this movie...but I hope,if they put Randall in the sequel,that Sulley and Mike will NOT kill him! *afraid* Well, that is the reason why I'm very apprehensive about the sequel. There are only a few possibilities insofar as Randall is concerned, and only one of them is good. Given how he has been portrayed in various other media, such as the rides and the books that have been released since the movie, it's not looking good for his possibilities at all in the sequel. I dug up some of my old books that were released either with the movie or shortly afterwards, and it's internesting to note that NONE of them really went out of their way to shove the "RANDALL IS EVIL" argument in our faces. He was called "cunning", "calculating", "scary", etc., but nothing that was just really negative. In contrast, the latest book on Pixar's movies calls him "disgusting", "creepy", "slimy", and "revolting"-and then says, "THOSE are just his personality traits". Sometimes I have to wonder if Pixar and Disney are aware of us-Randall's fans who do NOT believe he is Evil Incarnate and try to stick up for him-and are doing things deliberately to try to counter us and sites like this one. pitbulllady

Well, in my opinion, scary CAN be defined as the negative you're referring to, pitbulllady. Also, did you catch who wrote the latest book about Randall? If it was someone NOT from Pixar, then I may not be fully convinced that they ARE deliberately trying to offend us since they heard of us. Oh, and by the way, the kind of words that we both agree are really negative HAVE been used to describe him as far back as whenever the interviews for the special edition of the film were made, most likely 2002. I quote: John Goodman: "He just slimy and creepy and crawley and-" (cuts to Billy Crystal saying the following) "-nasty, bad guy." I can even try to find the video on YouTube, if anyone's up for it.

It isn't a book about Randall, but a HUGE book on Pixar's movies, all the way to Up, and it has a section on each movie with its characters, etc. It's a really big book, the sort you'd have on the coffee table and wouldn't want to drop on your foot. pitbulllady

However, that wasn't the main point of that bit of my argument: who wrote it, and how are they affiliated with Pixar?

I seriously doubt Pixar is indeed trying to offend us. They have other things better to do than offend Randall fans left and right. "Make Randall fans miserable and offend them" is NOT their goal.

I'd have to agree with you, Veg, at least insofar as demonizing him because we exist, given the evidence we have at this time.
