Monsters Inc. is set in a hidden (to humans), alternate-reality world made up of monsters. The main characters, Sully, Mike, and Randall, work in a corporation whose purpose is to capture the screams of children in order to convert it to energy so that the city will have electricity. Randall goes after one child, Boo, who accidently makes her way into the monster world. When Sully discovers her in the monster world, he works with Mike to get her back into her bedroom. Randall, however, is determined to catch Boo to scare her and capture her screams, which leads Sully and Mike on a chase to get Boo back home safely. As the story evolves, it turns out that the boss of the entire corporation is in on Randall’s new plan of forcefully extracting screams from children. That surprises Sully and Mike and impedes them from getting Boo back into her bedroom. By the end of the movie, they have successful brought Boo back and destroyed any way Randall could get to her. Sully has found that using the laughter of children is just as effective as using screams and is made the new boss of Monsters Inc.

Monsters Inc. is coming to Disney+ as part of the Pixar Animation library of films that will be available on the new streaming service. But it’s also getting an animated workplace comedy sequel series that will focus on a new main character working at the Monstropolis corporation at a rather confusing time.

Every movie has its early drafts, some of which never see the light of day. But the rise of concept art books and juicy “How Did This Get Made”-style oral histories have left nary a stone unturned in the vast movie development landscape.
