Shall We Vote Fur Or Against?
Remember how, when we were kids, we were always told to confront our monsters? Well, the advice worked for me then and I guess it works for me now.
This shot was taken in 2006, when I took the Authorbloglets to the wonderful "Pixar: 20 Years of Animation" interactive show at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (or ACMI, as it's better known) at Federation Square. I might add that it is really hard to tell who enjoyed it more, my kids or me.
And when I came face-to-face with this lifesize representation of Sully, I swear I felt no fear. So first I confronted him, then I did what any paparazzi photographer would do when confronted by a Hollywood star - I took his photo.
I've always been a big fan of Pixar Animation Studios and Sully of course was a central character in "Monsters, Inc.", their 2001 computer animated comedy film.
Just for the record, the character was voiced by John Goodman in the Oscar-winning film, but can you remember what Sully's real name was? If not, see below for the answer.
Check out the rules at Camera Critters or go to Misty Dawn.
ANSWER: Sully's real name was James P. Sullivan.

I was going to say, "What is THAT" but I see it is all explained.
Weren't you even a teeny bit scared?
This is one of my ALL time favorites as it has so many layers! The concept of the doors, the energy crisis, things aren't as they seem and just friendship. I think I will get my movie out and watch it today! Thanks David!
Looks gentle to me.
My grandson loved the movie too. That was great you saw this guy in person. I bet it was fun.
Have a great week.

Nice shot. :-)
Pretty cool critter nice that you got that shot.I see everyone is saying their kids love that movie forget my kids(kidding) I love that movie.
you notice they don't make monsters like they use to. When I was a kid, no monster smiled.
I agree -- the monsters of my childhood didn't smile.
oh of my favorite movies. made me smile to see Sully! :) love the title too. :)
Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your blog. Sometimes it makes me laugh, sometimes it brings tears. Thank you, Margaret (a Kiwi in the UK)

So, you help old ladies and you confront monsters...A modern day hero you are!

Happy weekend!
My Hope met Sully when she was two...when he bent to hug her? She disappeared! No fear whatsoever. It was rather hilarious though, watching her hug Mike...with one i.
Thanks for your visit, I like Sully. And I will water the pansys.
Sorry about your drought.

hehehe looks cute in the picture. Check out my camera critters here and thanks for leaving a comment.
I'd enjoy meeting Sully :)
I have seen the film many times and it´s very good. I have no idea about the voices or english names as this kind of movies are always dubbed in non-english speaking countries and I never see it with the original sound and voices.
Just added it to my list of movies I must see.
Did anyone guess his name yet? I'm thinking it was James "Sully" Sullivan. I've watched this movie approximately 1,263,529 times with my kids so you'd think that I could remember that. But now I'm not so sure?
Love your take on the Critters theme!
That answer is on e for the great British Pub Quiz. For me Sully was one of the best for the fur alone. The movement was excellent.
love that movie and LOVE john goodman!
