Mack claims that all the characters he has performed have good voice actors before he finds that they are based on the same actor over and over," he says.
Ratzenberger said that P.T. was his favorite Pixar character. Flea is a form of franko, "I always get a kick out of those kinds of characters, people who just want to get into a rage for [no] explicable reason." He was always on alert. His blood pressure was always way over the top, and everything he did was done in a terrified state. So it was a lot of fun to play him." In addition, John Ratzenberger performed in Planes: Fire & Rescue (2014), he played Harland the Jet Tug in Disneytoon Studios' Planes (2013) and a mustached plane named Brodi, which is set after Monsters, Inc.'s first film, Luck, which is based on Monsters, Inc.'s debut in animation, John Lasseter.
