Hmph. Understanding such things is hard isn't it? Think about it.
If someone like Pixar or Disney got the idea to make and M.I. movie about the characters in school, you honestly think they'd leave out important characters, like Randall, because of age?
Nope, nothing hard to understand about age or school for me! If they DID make a movie or a "short" featuring Mike and Sulley in school, not only would they have to leave out Randall, but pretty much everyone else, too, especially Boo. I mean, SHE was certainly a major character, and it wouldn't make one iota of sense to include HER when she was only a little over two at the time of the movie! Her PARENTS would most likely have been children at the time Mike and Sulley were in high school, assuming that they are still fairly young themselves. Mr. Waternoose would most likely have been the only major character than Mike and Sulley(well, Sulley anyway)would have known back then, since Sulley does say that Waternoose has been "like a father" to him, indicating that he'd known Waternoose probably since childhood. Over the years, people's lives take many directions, and people you know as a kid or a teenager move out of your life and are gone by the time you reach your 30's, in many cases, while new faces appear. I know that there are many people I knew and went to school with that I have not seen since. There are many people who are very close to me now, some co-workers, many not, who are of very different ages from me, and many of these would not even have been born yet back when I was in high school! It would actually be rather silly to have ALL the movie's characters together in a "prequel" set in Mike and Sulley's school days, since their age differences were so great, and since many came from different parts of their Monster World country, as evidenced by their varied accents. They all just happened to have ended up at this one factory, at this one point in time, but that doesn't mean they all had known each other for the past 25 years or so, anymore than you or I would have to have always known all the people we know today. Now, I wouldn't put it past DISNEY to pull something like that, and not try to factor in any sort of sense to it at all, but PIXAR shows more thoughtfulness in THEIR writing! I mean most people know that there is a big age difference between Randall and Sulley, and just wouldn't buy into them being in school together. The only logical way to show this would be to show Randall as a little kid whose path might briefly cross that of Mike or Sulley, during their high school days, and it's highly doubtful that there would be much interaction at all between them. My logic circuits simply won't let me envision Sulley being mean to a six-year-old for no reason whatsoever.
