You might remember the scene from Monsters, Inc. where the monster George Sanderson keeps getting children’s objects stuck on his fur. These objects were considered highly dangerous by the Child Detection Agency (CDA). To disinfect him, they even shave off his fur. He was also bathed and a cone was put on his head to assure he stayed out of trouble. This happened multiple times during the movie.
In the prequel, Monsters University, the monster showed the same careless attitude. In the prequel, he was disqualified from the Scare Games as he cheated using illegal gels instead of learning how to keep children’s belongings from sticking to him. The lesson to learn from this? Cheating can have bad consequences.

4. Easter eggs in the Toy Story movies.

7. Tom Hanks influenced by a child in Forrest Gump

In an interview for The Graham Norton Show, Tom Hanks’s talked about Forrest Gump’s southern accent. He revealed that Michael Conner Humphreys, the child actor who played Forrest Gump as a child in the movie found it difficult to break out of his southern accent and speak in a neutral tone. So Tom Hanks decided to do the movie in a southern accent instead. That is how we have the famous Gump accent.
He spent a lot of hours talking to the boy who was only 8 years old at the time. Hanks still has some of the tapes of the conversations they had to practice his accent.
