A scarer and his assistant, who work for Monsters, Inc., a power company in Monstropolis, which captures children’s screams to provide power for the city, find their lives turned upside down when a child follows them back from the human world, and in the process unveils a despicable conspiracy, in this hugely imaginative and thoroughly entertaining Pixar animation, which just about manages to survive its slightly sentimental finale.
