From the Academy Award(R)-winning creators of "Toy Story" comes
MONSTERS, INC., the hilarious new computer-animated feature that
opens the door to a world of monsters and mayhem and scares up lots
of laughs in the process. MONSTERS, INC. is the largest scare
factory in the monster world and the top kid Scarer is James P.
Sullivan (John Goodman, "The Emperor's New Groove"), a huge,
intimidating monster with blue fur, large purple spots and horns,
known as "Sulley" to his friends. His Scare Assistant, best friend
and roommate is Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal, "America's
Sweethearts"), a lime green, opinionated, feisty monster. Scaring
children isn't such an easy job, as monsters believe children are
toxic and that direct contact with them would be catastrophic. The
film's eclectic cast of characters also includes the factory's
crab-like CEO Henry J. Waternoose (James Coburn, Academy Award(R)
winner, Best Supporting Actor, "Affliction" 1997), the beguiling
serpent-haired receptionist Celia (Jennifer Tilly, "Stuart Little")
and the sarcastic chameleon monster, Randall Boggs (Steve Buscemi,
"Ghost World"), who schemes to replace Sulley as Monsters, Inc.'s
top Scarer. Visiting from the human world is Boo (Mary Gibbs), a
tiny girl who turns the monster world upside down and teaches Sulley
and Mike that laughter is more powerful than a scream.
MONSTERS, INC. is rated "G" with a running time of approximately 94
minutes. Bonus materials not rated and subject to change.
Walt Disney Home Entertainment is distributed by Buena Vista Home
Entertainment, Inc., a recognized industry leader. Buena Vista Home
Entertainment, Inc. is the marketing, sales and distribution company
