The voice of Boo in Monsters, Inc. was so young, she couldn’t follow a script. The crew just followed her around with a mic and stitched together her lines from her playtime chatter, pure magic turned into movie dialogue.

Just curious, why not use a bit older kid who can at least follow the script?
Was she like the one of a kind Boo?

This scene

that’s kinda what I assumed.
god this is adorable, knowing this and the ending makes me sad now
Scene heavily laden with other Pixar toys!
Awwww that’s clever.
No wonder the film is so good
Same way Robin Williams voiced the Genie.
I never realized that all the toys she gives him are from other Pixar movies 🥹
The Nemo toy was an Easter egg. Finding Nemo didn’t come out for 2 more years.
What did they do when they needed her to cry or sound distressed?
“Kitty?”
^kitty!
Dad to a toddler around this age. It’s awesome.
Nice. That‘s how AI works
They did the same thing with Robin Williams
