John Goodman and Billy Crystal voice the characters of Mike and Sulley, two monsters working to collect screams for children in order to power their city. In this world, access to our world is gained through children's closet doors, creating a portal for transport.
The story surrounds Sulley, who works late one night to see a child's closet door has been left behind on their 'scare floor'. He enters to check if another monster was 'scaring' in their and turns around to find that he has accidently brought a human child into their world.
Mike and Sulley spend the film disguising the little girl, 'Boo' as they name her, as a monster and ultimately try to find her door so she can get home.


The animation is superb and the use of bright colours and flawless effects makes the film very engaging and entertaining to watch. Whilst this is ultimately a kids movie i think it's enjoyable for everyone, give it a go one night this week.
