I'm actually unoffended by Phonecion..... he CLEARLY stated that he (she?) doesn't hate reptiles. Not all Randall "haters" are speciests you know. I think I made it very clear before that while Randall did NOT deserve a punishment QUITE as severe as he recieved, he did desearve a punishment of some nature, perhaps not as much as Waternoose, but somthing noe the less. After all, regardless of the monsters' attitude towards humans (one as somone here stated, I THINK it was PBL, bore an eerie resemblance to the human/ "gross" animal relationship) in the end, had Waternoose's plan worked, children would GET HURT. And Randall, bless his soul, would be involved. Jail time would have been much more fitting. After all, he ALMOST took part in hurtting kids. *do forgive any and all punctuational/spelling errors, I'm on a pain reliever, and in my fingers are in their "happy place". I pretty much agree with that, apart from one point- I think that yes, Randall should go to prison, but because of the points Pitbulllady pointed out, it shouldn't be for hurting human children. Instead, it would probably be for attempted murder of a fellow mon, unfortunately.

So... the guy who voiced Waternoose is dead? ;_; Even though I'm not a fan of the character, I'm still sad to hear that. Especially if it's possible that such a thing may also impede the sequel.
...
God, that sounded callous, didn't it? I appologize!

Instead, it would probably be for attempted murder of a fellow Mon, unfortunately. I'm actually thinking in terms of the "post- kids-are-dangerous-attitude" Scenario: The Mons are now using laughter to fuel their city, and are now well aware of the fact that kids are not dangerous as they originally thought. In fact, they're quite delightful little buggers, but introduced human adults to this parallel universe would still be dangerous (choose a monster movie. Name one in which the big scary monster lives ) Should Randall manage to make it back by some twist of fate, the fact that he and Waternoose were plotting to fix the shortage by kidnapping defenseless children ( and unwittingly traumatizing/possibly physically harming them in the process) would quite possibly be frowned on at that point. Even if the Mons still don't think of humans as sentient creatures, they (at least those working in the factory and citizens intelligent enough to know that kids are anything BUT dangerous) will probably think of harming children along the same lines most humans think of harming harmless little puppies. (Animal cops!) Even though a child security breach led to an amazing discovery, as I said, bringing children into the monster world is still dangerous (see monster movie comment) even if the child himself is not. So I'm assuming that Randall AND Waternoose would serve some time for kidnapping in addition to breaking the law. But not a very severe one since they didn't actually go through with the plan, and SULLY'S the one who let the child in. I presume. Like I said, I would have MUCH rather seen Randall arrested then mercilessly bludgeoned with gardening tools. *Sorry, I should have put that in my original post. I'm not trying to argue with anyone, you guys are absolutely correct. I just left out a vital point I was trying to make. Blame the meds ;D

If the door hadn't been there.....one could easily argue the situation would've never happened.

I don't know if this will influence Pixar's same cast attitude if they delay a sequel long enough to allow a main character voice actor to die, but in not too many years we should have voice synthesizers which can take a large amount of speech (like from an actor's soundtracks) and synthesize something which would pass a voiceprint machine, much less a human ear.

Are you talking about authenticating a voice using machinery?

Voiceprint is already a technology for authenticating a voice, and even detecting emotion. Voice synthesis is progressing at a great rate of speed (as is all other computer technology). If Crystal or Goodman should die, it might be tough to make a sequel without either a good voice impersonator or advanced voice synthesis (if Pixar is so picky about not changing voices). My cousin's daughter was in a car wreck that nearly killed her...she was not expected to survive, then was expected to have brain damage. Miraculously, she has almost totally recovered. Another cousin had a heart attack and "died" a couple times in the hospital. Life is fragile.

That's very true. Even making a film in itself, let alone a sequel, always has its risks- an actor or actress passing away whilst the film was being made has probably happened dozens upon dozens of times.

Yeah that's the downfall of such things.
