I think the dome makes sense too. When you consider "decontamination", you consider the dome as either trapping everything inside to be cleaned before release or you think of how it's supposed to administer some kind of electric shock that kills all the supposed germs. I think Celia having burns the next day does make sense with the latter if you ask me.

The fur physics in Monsters Inc in 2001 were jaw dropping. Never saw anything like it in computer animation at the time. It's still very impressive today.

The explosion is funny, but I like how the updated version has the CDA use an energy barrier/cleanser. It shows off their technological might, which is ironic because up to this point they still haven’t discovered that children aren’t actually toxic to monsters, which is funny in its own right…

The plasma thing is the canon version of events, as the first episode of Monsters at Work reveals that Harryhausen's is still in service within two days of the incident, and that Mike and Sulley received a lifetime ban (that was eventually lifted).

On one hand, the explosion was funnier. On the other hand, the giant ray shield makes more sense for decontamination.

imagine if there was a director's cut with the explosion scene.

As a kid I always thought it was weird that a force field would produce any wind at all, so much that sully's hair would move that aggressively, now it all makes sense

To be honest, I actually think the radioactive dome works better, largely because it's more disturbing to think that the CDA has access to tools that massive and outlandish for something so unprecedented. I also think trapping the nearby witnesses with the dome is a better way to imply that the CDA's "decontamination tests" took a long time than when using a typical explosion. (e.g. Celia being so injured and upset the following day) I know if I had to endure abrasive tests for a long time, I'd be pretty miserable.

The first one is funnier just due to how surreal it is to see an explosion go off from the usual Dome I have seen, to where it feels like an edit.

its also cool to see the second version of the scene has evidence of a rushed out render - there are overall less shadows and the ones that are there have harsher edges its particularly noticeable on the police chopper, the hazmat mask, and Sully's fur is more lit with ambient light in the censored version, where as the original has more volume and casts more shadows on itself

The force field fits the tone more, at least to me. They vaporized a sock yes but they didn't kill George, instead giving him a thorough (and painful) decontamination. Closing off access and combing through the area is more logical than straight up blowing it up and spreading toxic "kid" particals through the air.

Man Harryhausen's really blew up after the news of a kid being discovered there

another way you can tell this is real is by looking at sully's fur, you can still see it being blown by the force of the explosion in the post 9/11 version, his fur wouldn't react that way to a forcefield

Fun fact Microsoft’s slogan before 9/11 was “prepare to fly”

Wow, even as a kid, I never understood the purpose of the force-field…. it just didn’t make sense for the scene. Now I know why.

So I didn't even know about this until now?! Man, I guess the explosion was gonna be in the movie, but changed after 9/11 happened.

The news intro is also different, but I don’t know which countries have that version

I like how when the explosion happens the after version left in sully’s hair blowing in the wind

I think a Plasma bomb is a lot better than a regular explosion. It makes him more whimsical of the monster world.

I wish it were the explosion.

The CDA must have some sweet technology in their arsenal if they’re able to do... whatever they did.

I wish they released Monsters, Inc. with BOTH versions on DVD so we can choose between the explosion & sphere.

Huh. I didn't know they changed it. I guess it makes much more sense. Had no idea what the weird forcefield things was even supposed to be and why that was worrying. And I didn't know the movie was that old! 😮

Ngl I think the explosion would've been a bit disturbing even if 9/11 never happened only because of how long they hold on it

That explains why Sulley's fur is moving

Why does that feel like something that a ytp creator would make

you know, considering who the restaurant was named after, it's weird that in some weird sense you can have his name and the event be linked to one another I might've been thinking too hard on that one

In universe though, what did the force field actually do and how did it have a similar impact to an explosion?

I hope they gave Harry Hausen just compensation.

In the before 9/11 scene, the CDA just exploded Harryhausen's. The after is *way* more child friendly then the before scene

Wow I didn’t knew this. As a kid I was confused watching the plasma dome but the explosion is more realistic and more funny. Obviously they had to censure it because the movie released 2 months after the 2001’s 9/11 terrorist attacks

Plus, the CDA were shown blowing up a human sock earlier, so it makes more sense that they'd blow up the restaurant.
