In the US, Monsters, Inc. collected over $255 million. The audience loved Monstropolis, brought alive by director Pete Docter's execution. In the film, monsters working at an energy company generate power through children's screams. The connection that monsters Sulley and Mike share with the little girl Boo added emotional value to the comical storyline and made the film a remarkable effort in Pixar's catalog. The film is one of the best examples to show that Pixar effectively mix humor with heartfelt storytelling.
