After
exploring the worlds of toys and bugs in the two Toy Story films and A Bug's
Life, the award-winning computer animation company Pixar delves into the
realm of monsters with its fourth feature. Hulking, blue-furred behemoth
James P. "Sully" Sullivan (John Goodman) and his one-eyed assistant Mike
Wazowski (Billy Crystal) are employed by Monsters, Inc., a scream processing
factory. It seems that the denizens of their realm thrive on the screams of
kids spooked by monsters lurking under their beds and in their closets. It's
the job of Sully, Mike, and their co-workers, including sarcastic Randall
Boggs (Steve Buscemi), crab-like CEO Henry J. Waternoose (James Coburn), and
lovely snake-headed receptionist Celia (Jennifer Tilly) to keep the frights
flowing. When Sully and Mike are followed back into the monster world by a
very unafraid little human girl named Boo (Mary Gibbs), they are exiled to
her universe, where they discover that such a modern-day mythological
specimen as the Abominable Snowman is a fellow refugee.| John Goodman | James P. Sullivan "Sully" [Voice] |
