See the most agreed on films →In the city of Monstropolis, power is generated by the screams of human children, collected by professional "scarers" at Monsters, Inc. The top scarer, James P. Sullivan, and his best friend and assistant, Mike Wazowski, have their world turned upside down when a little human girl accidentally enters their world from her bedroom closet. They must secretly return her before the child-averse company and its security force discover her presence and cause a city-wide panic.
