Mike Wazowski

Michael "Mike" Wazowski is one of the central characters and the deuteragonist in Disney/Pixar's 2001 film Monsters, Inc. and its upcoming 2013 prequel Monsters University. He is voiced by Billy Crystal.

Monsters, Inc.
Mike Wazowski is Sulley's best friend and working partner at Monsters, Inc. He is Celia Mae's boyfriend and is constantly watched by Roz who seems to dislike him for always bringing in paperwork late. While at Harryhausen's for Celia's birthday, Sulley appeared out of nowhere to tell Mike that he had lead a human girl into the Monster World. Putting her into a Monsters, Inc. gym bag, Sulley tried to show him, but the human girl got out of the bag and wreaked havoc all over the resturant. The two secretly took her out of the resturant before the C.D.A. found her and disinfected the entire resturant.

When they learn that their boss, Mr. Waternoose, and Randall are in on a scam of draining children of screams, Sulley tricks Waternoose into confessing, while Mike records the confession and smugly replays it to watching C.D.A agents.

Mike proves to be not only a great assistant but a great 'laughter'.

Monsters University
Mike is set to appear in the prequel to the original film. Here Mike is a teenager and enemy to Sulley. The film will revolve around the history of their friendship. Billy Crystal has confirmed to reprise his role as Mike for the film.

Finding Nemo
Mike appears at the end of Fining Nemo scubadiving. This could be because Nemo appeared in his film.

Disney Parks
Mike occasionally appears as a meetable character in the parks but most common in shows.
