Plot Summary: Top Scarer Sulley and his best friend Mike work at Monsters, Inc., a factory that generates power for Monstropolis by collecting screams from human children. When a small human girl named Boo accidentally enters their world, Sulley and Mike must find a way to return her home while keeping her presence a secret from the monster authorities who believe humans are toxic. This unexpected encounter leads them to challenge their long-held beliefs about humans and uncover a sinister conspiracy within the company itself.

Dad's Preview: With this treasure, Disney and Pixar score another smash. This time the concept is mind-blowing - I mean, who thinks this stuff up? Here, monsters have access to children's rooms by magic closet door portals. By day, the monsters are not mean or scary. They're just regular Joe's going to work each day. Their job: to scare kids. We meet green orb Mike and blue fuzzy Yeti Sully. The two are completely loveable. When a human child accidentally goes through the portal, the high jinks begin. You simply are a monster, if you don't instantly fall in love this charming animated film.
