Appearances
Monsters, Inc.
In the first film, Celia is celebrating her birthday, so Mike invites her to a Japanese restaurant called Harryhausen's, but due to Boo being in the restaurant, the place is decontaminated by the CDA. One device that is made to make a large dome that would get rid of fatal germs, but could harm people without CDA armor, which is why Celia comes back to work the next day with serious injuries. She and her snakes are very upset with Mike about how the date was ruined. Mike kisses her to try to make her feel better, but she angrily slaps him. She confronts him again with a near-tackle. While Sulley is hurriedly dragging them, Celia demands that Mike immediately explain what is happening or they're done. Mike instantly caves and tells her all about Waternoose and Randall's secret plot involving Boo (it was truly Randall, and not Mike, who ruined their date when he tried taking Boo to the Monster world). Initially, Celia doesn't believe a word he says but is then startled by Boo revealing herself. After hearing Mike reassure his love for her and seeing Randall following them, Celia now believes him that he was Randall who let Boo in, now realizing it was him who ruined their date, not Mike. She helps them by subduing Randall with a crowd after she feign-announces him breaking the all-time scare record, buying Sulley and Mike some time so they can get to Boo's door. She is seen again at the end of the film, having fully recovered and reconciled with Mike and tells him that a box full of magazines has just arrived. Both she and Mike are surprised to see that Mike has made the cover of the magazine. She kisses him and her hair tickles his face.

Trivia
- Celia's name may be a play on the word "Cecaelia." It might also refer to Scylla, a monster in Greek mythology known for snatching up those who strayed too close to her with mouths attached to tentacle-like limbs (somewhat like Celia's snakes).
- An early model of Celia showed that she was originally going to have a twin head named Welia.
- Sulley actually called her Celia Welia near the beginning of the film.
- According to the book Monsters Inc.: The Essential Guide, the five snakes serving as Celia's "hair" are named Amelia, Bobelia, Ophelia, Cordelia, and Madge.
- Celia makes a cameo at the end of Monsters University in a photo. Her phone number can also be seen.
- It is implied that Mike may have met Celia sometime after getting a job at Monsters, Inc..
- Celia having snakes for hair may have been a nod to the Greek mythology legendary figure, Medusa. However, unlike Medusa who is bitter and can turn people into stone, Celia is kind and does not have any abilities.
- A subtle reference to Medusa's petrification abilities was utilized in the movie when Celia approached Mike just before Randall discovered Mike's unknowing involvement in intercepting Boo, as Mike freezed up in terror while Celia was storming towards him in fury over the ruined date and glaring directly at him.
- Celia's age, according to the handbook, is likely 24, making her at least three years younger than Mike.
