So many children are afraid of "monsters" in their closets, under their beds, etc., that bedtime can be a frightening time for them. Whoever came up with the idea for "Monsters, Inc." found an ingenious way to de-mystify those monsters! First, the storyteller does not DENY that they exist (for terrified children, those monsters are very real, and well-meaning adults telling them "There's no such thing as monsters!" does little to calm those fears!)... rather, it's explained WHY monsters scare children (because the "energy" from their screams is used to power their city, Monstropolis), then your little one is introduced to the main characters, two FRIENDLY looking monsters named Sulley (a large blue apish looking fellow with horns and purple splotches) and his assistant "scarer" Mike (a green, one-eyed little guy), and tells the story from their perspective. As it turns out, THEY are afraid of children as well, since it's believed they are toxic! When a little girl (whom Sulley names "Boo") enters their world (a plan by another "scarer" named Randall - who's in cahoots with the boss, Mr. Waternoose - to hook the child up to a machine that will suck all of the screams out of her), the kindness, concern and protectiveness of Sulley and Mike toward Boo is obvious as they attempt to get her home safe into her bed. When she laughs, they realize that it makes the lights in their world even BRIGHTER than her screams! In the end, the plot against Boo is discovered by tricking Mr. Waternoose, he's taken away, Sulley becomes boss, and the monsters' jobs now become telling jokes and making children laugh, which gives their city much more power than screams!
