Name That Movie Revealed

Monsters, Inc. I know, I know - it's a kid's movie. We loved it... If you haven't seen the movie you need to give it a try. The animation is fantastic and the voices are good - great - fabulous! What the heck. Be a kid for a couple of hours. Eat lots of ice cream and prepare to laugh and smile compliments of this delightful movie. Did I mention eating lots of ice cream? The story is set in Monstropolis, a city inhabited by monsters who live in deep fear of children which they believe will kill them simply by touching them. Ironically, the city's power comes from the screams of children which are bottled and converted to energy by Monsters Incorporated. "Scarers" work to frighten the children and are regarded as the heroes of Monstropolis for being brave enough to enter a child's room. The top scarer at Monsters, Inc. is James P. Sullivan, or "Sulley" (John Goodman), a blue-furred bear-like giant who is partnered with the green, one-eyed Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal); Sully's main rival is the chameleon-like Randall Boggs (Steve Buscemi. When taking care of paperwork, Sulley discovers a door that has been left on the scare-floor after shift, contrary to strict company policy. When Sulley investigates the door, a small human girl enters the monster world; not only that but he and Mike also learn that the girl is actually a victim of an evil plot to solve the city's power problems. It's up to Sully and Mike to get her back home before the authorities find out and before the company gets turned upside down. Along the way, they discover that children are not dangerous and that scaring is no longer rewarding. They have numerous encounters with Randall, with the "Scream Extractor", the spider-like head of Monsters, Inc., Mr. Waternoose, and the Abominable Snowman. In the end, they solve their world's energy crisis when they find out that a child's laughter has ten times the power of a scream; thus, all the monsters have a new mission: to sneak into children's rooms at night and make them laugh.
