Monsters, Inc.

Pete Docter, David Silverman, Lee Unkrich · 2001 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

In a city powered by the screams of human children, the top scarer and his one-eyed assistant clock in at a factory floor of closet doors. A toddler slips through one of them and follows them home, and everything the company teaches about contamination turns out to serve somebody's plan. Pixar's third feature set the studio's habit of hanging a workplace satire on a buddy pairing.
