MI/other Pixar movie crossovers.

[mentalguru]

Some Pixar movies could fit in the same Pixar canon in some respects. And Monsters Inc has even more flexibility than usual- since we only see Boo's room in the human world.

But WHICH human world I wonder?

Of course it's not the only one which could share a universe.

For instance, Up/TS was in the same 'universe', (Andy had a card from Carl and Ellie I believe in TS3, one of those things they added).

If we take the comics (eh), TS is of course crossed with MI already, but we don't have to take them as full canon anyway. Though Boo does have a Jessie doll.

Finding Nemo is also possible in that Up/TS set up too, though interactions are far less likely (for obvious reasons!)

By rights we don't really SEE Boo's world. It could be technically more or less 'normal' with some weird addition such as those three (TS, FN, UP), or be like the Incredibles world.

(While I'm not sure I like the idea of that crossover in CANON, in fanon it is fun too, plus it's still possible- all we see is Boo's room- but in canon I more so like the idea the Incredibles are a popular comic book franchise in Boo's world- and just for laughs, Boo really likes Syndrome- I may not be a big fan of his, but that idea amuses me for some reason).

Also I believe Dinogirl attempted a Cars/MI crossover- using the doors set up in the factory as an idea as a portal to that world and had Randall in there.

I've seen PBL hint at the idea of Syndrome- CDAs technological similarities (what with the dome and all).

Personally, the most likely senario is that in which the Toy Story and Up worlds are consistent with Boos human world but many are possible.

I also however wonder about a future fic in which the WALL-E issue is addressed- imagine if IT was in the same universe as MI I wonder what became of the monster world when the humans fled earth in that case? Did they find an alternative energy solution? The fossil fuels would have run out by then if they are similar to our levels and used it at our rates even with the amounts they haven't used so far. I guess other forms of energy production would be utilised out of necessity, but maybe it's in bad shape itself or at least not as advanced as it should be- unless they decided to leave their world completely for somewhere else.

I'm curious as to what you guys think.

What crossover ideas are your favourite in terms of other Pixar movies? What do you think seem to be the most plausible?

Archibald's "Crossover" comic(which is still EPIC, IMO)really got me thinking about the possibility of a IM/Incredibles crossover, NOT because they take place in the same universe(they don't), but because I really like the notion of Randall being considered a "Super" in the Parr's universe. He has a couple of unique abilities that are considered out-of-the-ordinary even among monsters, and I really find the concept of the Parr family sort of taking him in, under the watchful eye of Rick richarder and his secretive organization. Perhaps they would be the ones that actually rescue Randall in the first place, and then have to keep an eye on him, sort of like the "Men In Black" do with extraterrestrials and other interdimensional travelers to our universe in that movie, and Rick decides that the Parr family would be good role models for an angry, hurt, emotionally ravaged monster who happens to have some intriguing abilities that could definitely be problematic should he fall into the wrong hands. The Parrs, aside from being Supers, are also a prime example of something Randall probably has missed out on for much of his life-an old-fashioned "nuclear" family unit. That stability is something Randall would really benefit from, when combined with the no-nonsense guidance of both parents, especially Helen, whose Southern roots aren't too far off from Randall's Indiana background(take a guess where many Indiana familes came from, originally...give you a hint...PEACHES). It would be great to see Randall want to atone for his past sins by using his abilities for good, although with his hard head, he'd probably wind up getting in hot water more than once! It would be REALLY interesting to listen in on a converstation between him and Violet, since they essentially have the same power, albeit achieved in different ways, and having such an ability probably effected them in pretty much the same way, socially, too. And it would be TOTALLY interesting if Randall's Human World wardrobe had to be made and designed by none other than Edna Mode; I can just imaging her trying to measure and fit him for just regular clothes, with him fidgeting and running his mouth and trying Edna's patience!

Heh, that would be interesting. Though I think they wouldn't let Randall be with the Parrs immediately- there would be probably very rigorous checking involved but in the end after a while, being with the Parrs would be the closest Randall could get to a normal life. Plus, eh I guess a world with supers- he might eventually get accepted publically if he became a hero of some sort. Or in general, being a bit more used to a certain level of 'weirdness'- unlike in most fiction universes, people might not think much of him.

(Though it could go the other way- in a comic book universe-'weird' looking people sometimes get the short end of the stick and are labelled evil/shunnnned, and he might be treated like some sort of despised minority rather than a different threat perhaps alarmists would in a 'more realistic' world where that sort of person/weird powers etc. isn't the norm at all.

So basically Randall could be suspected of being like some weird experiment of some description made by a 'mad scientist' and be suspected of things and being a possible danger all together. Or just called an alien in general- but he would possibly be treated with supiscion by the general population (because he looks 'weird') or at least people would be wary- but they might be marginally less likely to run away from him screaming. Or maybe more so. Depends really. I mean when you're used to people who can stretch to rediculous lenghts/ hurl cars/ throw forcefields... -shrugs-

Though I somehow get amused at the idea of him being a part of the 'team' and him wondering why the hell he should wear a mask/ costume not just a regular wardrobe. You'd have to admit, in those terms of 'secret identity' etc. it would be pretty redundant in his case- not many would look like him, even in their strange world!

Incredibles/MI does amuse me in fanon really- granted, Jack-Jack and Boo would possibly be the babysitting job from hell!

(Well Boo is kind of a regular kid more or less, her ability to disappear and curiosity mean however that being too distracted by Jack-Jack would possibly result in losing her fairly easily).

Edna Mode would wack him with many a rolled up fashion magazine, I'm betting.

(Ouch! I think that was...Vogue!)

*prods head* Boy...this talk of Incredibles makes me want to work on that crossover in Kingdom Hearts I had in the back burner...
