Ho ho, stepped in for a look and found that question ^_^ WELL...Ran's given me allot of detail on this but nothing in physical description on than "he's named FANGS for a reason  ". Well we all know he's the current holder of the Scare Record set years ago. Other than that, publicity ain't much around. Of course Ran has his own info but ahh... ^_^ |

Is he like Randall's mentor or something? We don't know just what the nature of the relationship between him and Randall was, and it might have been no more than Randall idolizing him and obsessing over him, sorta like Buddy Pine did with Mr. Incredible before that "falling out" at the bank when Buddy was 10. Randall strikes me as the sort who NEEDS to look up to someone, and probably has not had any real person in his life, so he filled that spot with a celebrity, the way many kids do today, and he just never really grew out of it(let's face it; we know Randall does have "maturity issues", like it or not). It's also possible that Randall did know Mr. McDonald, maybe was even related to him or directly influenced by him in some way. Whatever the case is, "Fangs" McDonald is the monster who set the current Scare Record, back in 1963, according to the "Essential Guide to Monsters, Inc.", and we are also informed that this took place 13 years before Randall was born, which would put Randall being born in 1976. Randall's obsession with beating Sulley does not seem to so much come from a hatred of Sulley, as it does from a desire to either be the one to break McDonald's record himself, or to just defend it and not allow ANYONE to break it, which is what leads to be see that the race to break it is more about Randall's obsession with the one who set the record in the first place, than with the record itself. pitbulllady |

he's named FANGS for a reason Lol, yes, I would think so too! Since he most certainly does have 'Fangs', his physical appearence would make me think of a Bat and a Snake mostly... creatures that have large fangs! I'm more going on the snake idea though... and since you said Randall looks up to him, maybe that's because Fangs Mcdonald was reptilian. It's just an idea... please don't kill me with it? |

I don't prod Randall about him since of certain aspects *ahem* But yes he does look up to him.

I think that there's a definite connection between Randall and "Fangs" McDonald(all the references I've seen list that name in quotations, so I'm assuming it's a nick-name, not his real name), and whatever that connection is, IT is the real driving force behind Randall's obsession with either breaking the All-Time Scare Record himself, or at the least, insuring that it remained unbroken forever. Given the Scotch and Irish heritage of both surnames, Boggs and McDonald, it's not unreasonable to believe that they could be relatives, with the older Scarer(who is most likely retired as of the movie's timeline, perhaps deceased)being a grandfather or great-grandfather, or uncle perhaps, whom Randall looked up to as a child and in whose footsteps he was determined to follow, to maintain family pride and integrity. McDonald could also have been someone not related to Randall, per se, but someone whom he still regarded as a father-figure and role model, maybe a foster parent at some point. Randall might not have even known him personally(although I'm inclined to believe that he did), but simply idolized him as kids idolize star athletes in our world, especially as minority kids USED to look up to people of their own race who were pioneers or record-setters, so to speak, in their field, people like Jackie Robinson or Wilt Chamberlain. Many of us have come to the logical conclusion that Randall probably did not have a close family for a large part of his life, and it's common for kids who have no role models in their real, day-to-day existence to become obsessed with some celebrity who, in their minds, would best fill the role of an absent parent. Most grow out of this stage, but those who are, shall we say, less emotionally stable, might not. Again, this is a situation that someone like Waternoose would recognize, and use to his own advantage, in gaining Randall's 100% cooperation in the Scream Extractor Project-it would keep anyone from breaking "Fangs" McDonald's record, IF Randall got it done in time.

Sadly I doubt they're related. If they were, Randall would've gotten a little more respect than what he was getting. *thinks, then folds arms* Yeah....
*scratches chin* Then again....
All connecting ^_^

All connecting ^_^ I also disagree at the fact of them being related... I just think that Randall viewed Fangs as an icon. |
