Monsters, Incorporated, is a company where they scare human children to harness their screams for electrical power.
Sound weird? To start, one door - out of millions stored in the company vault that lead to young children's bedroom closets all over the human world - is lowered from a conveyor belt, placed in a holder, and is attached to a tank which collects the young child's frightened screams.
A monster then enters the door and scares the sleeping child. The screams are collected and bottled, ready to use for power.
Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) and James P. "Sully" Sullivan (John Goodman) are best friends who both work for Monsters, Inc. Mike is a small, green, one-eyed ball with hands and feet. Sully is a tall, blue, hulking thing with horns and a tale. Sully happens to be the companies best scarer, and Mike is his assistant.
"There's nothing more toxic or deadly than a human child," Says the boss, Henry J. Waternoose (James Coburn), "A single touch could kill you! Leave a door open, and one can walk right into this factory! Right into the monster world!" So you can image Sully's Horror when he accidentally brings a little girl in the monster world...
Monster's Inc. has the same feel as Pixar's other films, allthough it is not as good Finding Nemo.
The story is very unique - as are most Pixar films - and the characters are extremely enjoyable to watch. The film contains a hugh ammount of that adult humor and subtle jokes that are ever-presnt in most Pixar films. This makes the film much more enjoyable for not only children, but for adults as well.
Plot: 
Pixar always comes up with unique plots for it's movies, and even the two Toy Story films were vastly different (although they used the same great characters).
Monster's Inc. is a fresh and inventive picture. Pixar took an old concept (the monster's under the bed theory), added what, where, when, why and who to the idea, and totally revamped it for the new millenium.
Animation:
The animation isn't as good as Pixar's later features, like Finding Nemo, but is better than their earlier films, and is their best work up to this point.
Sound:
The score is simple yet effective, but is complemented by Randy Newman's Oscar winning song "If I Didn't Have You".
As usual, all of the sound effects used in Mosters Inc. were created from scratch, and are all unique. Different sounds were recorded and mixed together to get the get the great sound effects used in the film.
Character Development:
Pixar writers did a great job of creating great interaction between the Mike and Sulley characters. There is a real chemistry between the two, and you can see it.
Atmosphere: 
The movie isn't that difficult to get into but may be labelled a children's film by the cover. Monsters Inc. is a terrific film for people of all ages.
Realism:
