When Harry Met Sully

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.

ANSWER: Sully's real name was James P. Sullivan.
