All 26 Pixar Movies Ranked Worst To Best

"Monsters, Inc." is about a society of monsters in a parallel dimension, who enter our realm through magic doors, scare children on the other side, collect their screams in yellow tubes, and convert that into electricity. Also, they're deathly afraid of children themselves and treat the accidental presence of human kids in their realm as a biohazard emergency. 

This is exactly the scenario that faces our protagonists — giant, blue-haired Sulley, a superstar kid-scarer, and short, green, one-eyed Mike, Sulley's neurotic right-hand man and best friend. Eventually, they befriend Boo, the little girl who initially terrified them and made them fugitives for simply being near her, and defeat the villainous Randall, Sulley's lizard-like rival who tried to expose their secret and take them down.

Okay, now read all that again. It's insane. We can't imagine the thought process that led to anyone imagining such a bizarre story. All we know is that the movie itself is a wonderfully imaginative, unforgettably fun adventure that stands out as one of Pixar's most underappreciated golden era gems.
