This was just uploaded today on YouTube and Tumblr by "Sharkluvr123", who has been making Randall fan art for several years now. If you haven't seen it already, I'll give you fair warning: have some Kleenex handy.

Ok, figured to say at least.
While it wasn't as heartwrenching as others might find it, it's a good little short...well...guess I can call it a film. Well short anyway. Funny how using an earlier music piece in Pixar work matches so well with it. Plot-wise, makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Some people just don't seem to care how a mother (or father) would feel when their once sweet son was, for all thoughts, killed or missing, and nobody's giving you the right answer. Have a feeling the sweet mother here isn't going to be so sweet when she finds out what really happened.

That's why I sincerely and deeply believe that Randall had no family at the time of the events in MU. There was absolutely no one that he knew, deep down, would still love him and take in him if he failed, no one other than himself that he thought he might be putting at risk. There was no one he knew would be hurt and disappointed if he got in trouble. Believe me-I know I've said this before but it is worth repeating-many times, the ONLY thing that stands in the way of us making a decision that we KNOW carries a big risk of landing us in a whole lot of trouble if things do not go as planned is the knowledge that we will be hurting those that are dearest to us, that still love us. Randall is clearly intelligent and HAD to understand what the risks were in getting involved with the Scream Extractor. He surely knew what would happen if he got caught bringing in those horrible toxic human children, the only aspect of the whole thing that was illegal, really. If he had a family, he'd have known how that would affect them, if he wound up in jail. He also would have known that even if he turned down Waternoose's offer/orders, and lost his job as a result, they'd still support him and help in any way possible. I just really don't think he had anyone, at all. Not to mention, Sulley's life would be pretty miserable, too, with him being reminded of what he did in the form of Randall's family inquiring frequently as to the whereabouts of their relative, and while Mike might be able to shrug that off, I don't think Sulley can handle that and still act remorseless.

Considering the year-after...unless for special conditions...Sullivan would have been approached by a careing family member at some point, and there was nohoho way that he wouldn't have let slip about it. It wouldn't have been just Boo he was concerned about at the time.
If they were around at the time...there would be, at basic, either two reactions. And "No, why did you do that" cry, cry, cry situation. Or the "Your going to pay for that" revenge-wise one. Not to mention, for somebody who cleaned up his act and is a better person for it, the weight of either situation would crack Sullivan up (despite tempering from Wazowski). While he may be able to understand the workers under him, dealing with management, stock holders, and the forerunners of the Scream Industry breathing down his neck...a concerned/angry family member of somebody he knows he was hasty with would just be too much. If he saw this bit for instance (like if it was a film reel or something), he'd definitely crack.

If he saw this bit for instance (like if it was a film reel or something), he'd definitely crack. Absolutely. We see in both MU and MI that Sulley isn't very good at concealing guilt. Even that night before the final Scare Games competition, as he and Mike are talking about the upcoming event, Sulley was already acting suspicious and looking guilty as hell because he'd already tampered with Mike's Scream setting and he KNEW he'd done something wrong. Even once he got busted by Mike, he still could have lied about it, at least to the other OK's, not said anything to the Dean, but Sulley isn't the sort to do that. He CAN'T keep guilt bottled up for long before he admits doing wrong to somebody! I honestly would not want to be in position at MI, knowing that he DID break the law in harboring a human child(the exact same law that Randall would have been guilty of breaking in bringing in human children to test on the machine), and he DID throw another monster into the Human World, possibly to his death, with the CDA constantly monitoring everything he says and does to make sure he keeps quiet lest THEIR cover-up be exposed, with everything that leaders of huge corporations normally have to deal with only without the training and education that they usually have, PLUS wondering when someone is going to show up and want to know where Randall is. That's why I think that at least one of those situation, the latter, can be taken off the plate. Sulley would now have access to everyone's employee files, and he'd soon find out that Randall had no family, no one who might come around and start being nosy. If Randall had anyone, Sulley never would have made it through his first year as CEO. That he does means that this is one thing he won't have to worry about, at least. pitbulllady |
