May I query the Bechdel test "passing with flying colours"? I'm probably mistaken but is it a requirement for the female characters to be human? Technically there are only three female characters in the film (incuding the evil shop lady) and two of them are robots. So technically no such conversation between two women occurs at all?

Why would it matter whether they're human or not? By that logic, works without humans are incapable of passing it?

That said, it's still a Zero Context Example and we don't list whether a work passes The Bechdel Test, so I cut it anyway.

Anybody want to add that Governor Nix's Tomorrowland guards dress like French Revoluionaries during the Reign of Terror? The Revolution Will Not Be Civilised indeed

In the Junior Novelization, the device that Frank built is called the Oracle. The article currently calls it the Monitor. Therefore, shouldn't the article refer to the device as the Oracle. I'm not sure what it was called in the film.

In the film it was called the Monitor, so we're going by that.

Watched the film for the second time tonight. It does refer to it as the monitor. So let's keep it that way then.

The novelization does contain some differences from the film: Casey's Mom appearing in the present (which Brad Bird confirmed was shot but was then cut), Athena being able to show video, and instead of Athena telling Frank he isn't funny, Athena laughing a bit at Frank saying he's afraid of heights before her self-destruction. Right now, I have only included the part about Casey's Mom being cut out of the present as that has been confirmed by Brad Bird.
