\nOn Jeff Goldsmith\u2019s Creative Writing<\/em> podcast, director Pete Docter recounted his original pitch: \u201cMy idea was that what it was about was a 30-year-old man who is like an accountant or something, he hates his job, and one day he gets a book with some drawings in it that he did when he was a kid from his mom. He doesn\u2019t think anything of it and he puts it on the shelf and that night, monsters show up. And nobody else can see them. He thinks he\u2019s starting to go crazy, they follow him to his job, and on his dates … and it turns out these monsters are fears that he never dealt with as a kid … And each one of them represents a different kind of fear. As he conquers those fears, the guys who he slowly becomes kind of friends with, they disappear … It\u2019s this bittersweet kind of ending where they go away, and so not much of that stayed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nIn order to animate each individual strand of hair on Sulley, which reportedly took 12 hours to fill a single frame, Pixar developed a new software program called Fizt. According to WIRED<\/em>, the software was extremely advanced for its time, as it had the power to simulate each of the three million hairs that covered the lovable monster. \u201cWe made the simulator able to digest anything,\u201d said Andy Witkin, one of the studio\u2019s senior animation scientists.<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong>Typically, voice actors get into the booth at separate times to record their dialogue. But Billy Crystal pushed for the opportunity to work alongside his co-star, John Goodman. \u201cI did the first two sessions alone and I didn\u2019t like it,” Crystal told Dark Horizons<\/em>. “It was lonely and it was frustrating.” Goodman was also a fan of the joint process; he told the BBC: \u201cWhen Billy and I got together, the energy just went through the roof, so it was great.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
