The story of the movie “Monsters Inc.” takes place in Monstropolis. The city is on the brink of a “blackout” as its energy comes from the screams of frightened children, but they are less and less frightened. To solve the problem, Monstros S.A. trains boogeymen to scare the little ones and solve the energy problem. Monsters reach their victims through the closet doors of children all over the world. The hero of the story is Sullivan, who looks like a spotted Abominable Snowman. He's the biggest scare-monger and walks in the company of Mike, his trainer, who looks like a giant lemon with a big eye in the middle of his face.
