Monsters, Inc. (company)

Monsters, Inc. is the energy-producing factory in the film Monsters, Inc. The company is the only place which supplies all the energy for Monstropolis.

The commercial for the company is seen at the beginning of the film after Sulley is waken up and told to do some chores and warm-up exercises by his partner Mike Wazowski.

The Company
Monsters, Inc.'s main duty is to provide all citizens in Monstropolis with energy in the form of captured screams collected from children. They accomplish this by crossing into the human world through the closets of children's bedrooms and scaring them to the best of their ability. The screams are then collected in special canisters for use as energy.

The factory is an immense facility equipped to fulfill the needs of its employees. Scaring takes places in rooms called "Scare Floors", where the monsters cross over into the human world using the doors of the children's closets. The doors are stored in an immense "Door Vault" and are brought to and from the Scare Floor by an automated system. Each Scarer has an assistant to help coordinate the energy collection. Any door belonging to a child who has no fear of monsters is promptly destroyed in the Door Shredder, as their screams cannot be collected.

During the events of the film, it is clear that the company had fallen on hard times, and screams are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain in large amounts because kids have begun to like monsters. Facing a worsening energy crisis, the company sought out new means by which to obtain screams in large quantities. This is eventually resolved by James P. Sullivan, who has discovered that laughter produces more power than scream has done and reestablishes the company to have the monsters make children laugh.
