After exploring the worlds of toys and bugs in the two
Toy Story films and
A Bug's Life, the award-winning computer animation company
Pixar delves into the realm of monsters with its fourth feature. Hulking, blue-furred behemoth
James P. "Sully" Sullivan (
John Goodman) and his one-eyed assistant
Mike Wazowski (
Billy Crystal) are employed by Monsters, Inc., a scream processing factory. It seems that the denizens of their realm thrive on the screams of kids spooked by monsters lurking under their beds and in their closets. It's the job of
Sully,
Mike, and their co-workers, including sarcastic
Randall Boggs (
Steve Buscemi), crab-like CEO
Henry J. Waternoose (
James Coburn), and lovely snake-headed receptionist
Celia (
Jennifer Tilly) to keep the frights flowing. When
Sully and
Mike are followed back into the monster world by a very unafraid little human girl named
Boo (
Mary Gibbs), they are exiled to her universe, where they discover that such a modern-day mythological specimen as the
Abominable Snowman is a fellow refugee.
