Internet Hoaxes

Disney releasing Monsters Inc. sequel called Boo? HOAX

Claims are spreading that Disney are releasing a sequel to Monsters Inc. titled Boo that is set to be shown in 2020.

The claims have been fuelled by a movie poster (below) apparently depicting the latest Disney movie featuring one of the starring characters from the Monsters Inc. movie.

However many expressed scepticism since there has been no official word from Disney regarding any potential sequel by this name, or indeed, any sequel at all (a prequel was released in 2013 called Monsters University.)

As it turns out, the movie poster that has been spreading across social media is actually not an official move poster from Disney at all. In fact it was originally uploaded by Instagram user Nico (username ConceptDisney) before spreading across Facebook.

Nico had printed his/her stamp on the poster which can be clearly seen on the right hand side and stated in the caption that he/she posts concept ideas for Disney, which essentially means this poster is just an example of fan art, and is nothing to do with Disney at all. The caption included can be seen below.

Hi everyone, my name is Nico. I’m a huge Disney fan, and I decided to make a Disney account, where I would post concept art and ideas for upcoming Disney movies. Please tell your friends about my page to help my page grow! ?? –
CONCEPT: Disney/Pixar, “BOO.” This movie would be the sequel to Disney Pixar’s “Monsters Inc.” Boo is all grown up, and she decides to revisit her past. She hasn’t seen Mike and Sully for years. She travels far and overrides fears and obstacles just to find Mike and Sully again. Join “Boo” in her journey to find the monsters that were once in her closet.
EDIT: YES THIS IS ANNA FROM FROZEN! I edited her hair, eyes, clothes, and face. I changed her nose to make it look a bit more like boo! I’m so happy with how popular this edit became. ??

Since this seems to be the centre piece that sparked the rumour of a Monsters Inc. sequel called Boo, it appears that it is nothing more than just a rumour.
