Settis Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hi! I exposed this idea on the general Mixnmojo forums , but none got really interested.So I decided to try on a more "specialized" forum... There are often rumors on the net about a Grim Fandango movie... well... that's really strange... Haven't you seen yet the already-released-and-available-on-DVD-and-soon-I-think-HDDVD-Grim Fandango movie? I don't know if someone already noticed that, but one CG movie got some HEAVY inspiration from Grim Fandango: Monsters Inc. An outer world where a Department-like structure fulfill a "social service". A conspiration inside the Department. A strong rivalry for "the most efficient worker" award between the two best employers of the Department. The searching for a loved-one. A secret-resistance movement inside the Department itself. Mmmmm, just a coincidence? Perhaps you can find other similarities by yourself! Settis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchythesamurai Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I'm sure that no more than a couple people tops who worked on Monsters Inc. had even heard of Grim Fandango. Also, your English makes your post a little...confusing, but I think I understood the gist of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settis Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 I'm sure that no more than a couple people tops who worked on Monsters Inc. had even heard of Grim Fandango. A premise: I loved Monsters Inc. , and I believe that It's one of the best CG movies ever made. And I believe that Pixar succeded in many of its productions because it had created something completely new everytime: every movie is an entire world to explore. That suggest , perhaps , a strong will for research and inspiration for Pixar , something that other studios not very often demonstrate. What do I want to say? I think that people at Pixar spend a lot of energy in research in many field , from painting to comics , from cinema to video-games.. and since they appear to be such ingenious people... why shouldn't they have found and loved a masterpiece like our beloved Grim Fandango? Also, your English makes your post a little...confusing, but I think I understood the gist of it. Well, I'm aware of that: I'm italian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the line that's causing some people to scratch their heads. You're making it sound like a Grim Fandango movie was already made and released, which I'm about 98% sure is not the case. Also, I'm glad to hear that English is not your first language, lots of people on these forums just don't have an excuse at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
