Plot

The story is set in Monstropolis, a city inhabited by monsters, and centers around Monsters, Inc., the city's power company. Monsters, Inc. sends its "employees" to children's bedrooms through teleportation doors set up on the work floor to scare the children; each "team" of scarers has their own door. The screams of children generate power for the city. The chairman and chief executive officer of Monsters, Inc. is a crab-like monster called Henry J. Waternoose (James Coburn). The top scarer at Monsters, Inc. is James P. "Sulley" Sullivan (John Goodman), a furry blue behemoth-like giant who is partnered with the short, green, one-eyed Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal).

The two of them are best friends and roommates. Sulley is a gentle and easy-going creature, while Mike is obsessed with his car and marrying his girlfriend, the Medusa-like Celia Mae (Jennifer Tilly.) Sulley's main rival as a scarer is the chameleon-like Randall Boggs (Steve Buscemi), who possesses the ability to change the color of his skin to match his surroundings, and is second only to Sulley at the scarer ranks.

As Sulley and Mike head off to work, their discussion reveals that the city is suffering a power shortage because children have become desensitized to fear by over-exposure to television and it's harder to make them scream. Just before they are about to leave after a long day, the secretary, the slug-like Roz, asks Mike to hand in his paperwork. Mike had forgotten about it, and leaves it to Sulley to fill up his papers and hand them in, since Mike is in a hurry to leave on a date with Celia. As Sulley reaches the work floor to find Mike's papers, he finds a lone door on the work floor after hours, which is a violation of policy.

After inspecting the door, Sulley discovers an infant human girl (Mary Gibbs) behind it. Unfortunately, Sulley can't return her back through the door since he doesn't have the access card required to open the door. Frightened, Sulley tries his best to hide the girl from coworkers, as it is believed that humans are toxic to monsters. After several misadventures, Sulley finally takes the girl to Mike, who is enjoying a romantic dinner with his girlfriend at a sushi restaurant. The girl escapes from Sulley's grip at the restaurant, creating havoc amongst the monsters, and triggering the CDA (Child Detection Agency) troops to take action; Mike and Sulley grab the girl and barely make it home, trying to avoid the CDA's attention at all times.
