Other Click on an image to enlarge: The above pictures depict the villian of the Monsters, Inc. Factory Tour attraction, Harold, in two stages of development: an initial sketch and the final computer model. Harold is the only character in the Monsters, Inc. Factory Tour attraction that is not featured in the movie. Since the villain of the movie, Randall, was captured and punished in the end, he could not appear in the ride. Harold was invented to fill this gap. Through the ride’s dialogue, we learn that Harold is actually Randall’s cousin, still working for Monsters, Inc., despite Randall’s evil involvements. We also learn that Harold has had a great difficulty switching from scaring children to entertaining them. Since he is Randall’s relative, he retains many of the same villainous characteristics that make him an excellent adversary in the attraction. There are two fun post-show activities following the Monsters, Inc. Factory Tour attraction. The first (left) is the Monster Training Facility. Children are encouraged to join in participating in this Monsters, Inc. Training Facility reproduction to learn what it’s like to be a monster. This facility not only lets kids release some energy by screaming and laughing in their own private booths, but also shows just how different screams and laughs power Monstropolis. Children (of all ages) enter sound-proof booths attached to a dimly-lit bedroom, much like Boo’s. First, a Cast Member prompts them to act scared and scream as loud as they can. The lights in the bedroom respond to the screams by getting brighter. Guests are then prompted to laugh and are helped in doing so by Mike Wazowski appearing as a hologram in the room (using the Pepper’s Ghost effect with the large pane of glass in front of guests), performing crazy stunts. As guests laugh more, the lights in the bedroom become brighter and brighter ultimately blowing up and then returning dim. The other activity (middle) is the Monsters, Inc. Acting Studio, which enables guests to place themselves in the Monsters, Inc. company play, “Put That Thing Back Where It Came From (or So Help Me)” via a green screen. Guests are prompted via video screens to sing along with the whole crew or act out scenes as they are being superimposed on stage. They then have the option to purchase their video or still shots from it afterward. To the right of the post-show activity is the Monstropolis Merchants gift shop (right). This store, while vacant in the rendering, may feature every kind of monster merchandise imaginable. Small and large plush versions of everyone’s favorite monster characters may be found here as well as videos, CDs, DVDs, books, apparel, etc. Special Walt Disney World Theme Park Exclusive merchandise relating to the ride may also be found here, including the Monsters, Inc. Factory Tour playset, the Monsters, Inc. Factory Tour die-cast ride vehicle, and the ever-popular Monsters, Inc. Factory Tour “I Monstropolis” T-shirt. After creating this web page, I made it into the finals for the WDI competition. For the final competition, I had to elaborate on what I had already made and form everything into a presentation. The following images are a few new pieces of art I created for the attraction, detailing some areas that I had not done previously. Cast Member Costumes I designed these Cast Member costumes to be worn in and around the attraction. I took inspiration from existing Tomorrowland costume designs as well as the Monsters, Inc. look itself. Attraction Poster This attraction poster was designed in the style of the old Disney attraction posters. In fact, this one is a parody of the classic Monorail poster. Monstropolis Merchants sign I designed this sign for the Monstropolis Merchants store found at the exit of the Monsters, Inc. Factory Tour attraction. MIFT Pin This spinning/dangle pin is an exclusive pin to the Monsters, Inc. attraction. It features a spinnning/blinking Monsters, Inc. logo at the top and character dangles at the bottom. Monstropolis T-Shirts I designed two different T-shirts. One is white and has the standard I [heart] Monstropolis tag on it. The other is black and features a monster in the heart.
