It's hard to believe that Monsters, Inc. is twenty years old! It's true, the Pixar film went into wide release on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsters,_Inc.">November 2, 2001</a>. To celebrate the milestone, Pixar redid the movie entirely, this time as a silent film. The result is a cartoon short in black-and-white that could have been shown in theaters 100 years ago. Yeah, that's stretching the idea of a 20th anniversary a bit, but we don't care because it's so cute.

This works because you've already seen the full-length film, so you can fill in the exposition, the buildup, and the emotional implications in your mind. To a child who hasn't yet seen Monsters, Inc., this wouldn't make much sense. Especially if they couldn't read the intertitles. -via <a href="https://boingboing.net/2021/11/11/pixar-made-this-4-minute-vintage-version-of-monsters-inc-and-its-terrific.html">Boing Boing</a>&nbsp;#Pixar #MonstersInc #silentfilm
