Trivia

It normally took 11 to 12 hours to render a single frame of Sulley because of his 2.3 million individually animated hair strands (Total number of hairs: 2,320,413).

Goofs

When Sulley runs into the locker room to shove the toys from Boo's room into a locker, he is seen putting them into locker #193 then slamming the door with both hands. When the camera angle changes, he removes his hands from locker #190 even though his hands never moved from the locker between shots.

When Mike walks away after congratulating Celia (in the beginning of the film) he passes a marking in the floor. In the next shot, viewed from above, he is much nearer her than in the shot before, which can be seen by the floor markings.

At the end of the film, after Mike got his first customer when he burped out the microphone, Sulley comes to talk to Mike and the "Think Funny" banners are still there. After Celia calls Mike "Oh Googly Bear" at the next shot, the banner that was above Mike's head has gone.

Q

I heard that the restaurant where Mike and Celia had dinner is named after someone famous. Who is it?

A

Harryhausen's was a tribute to Ray Harryhausen, considered one of the greatest special-effects artists known to the movie world, particularly for his stop-motion photography. Harryhausen has provided the special effects for films from almost every major film studio, including Paramount, Warner Brothers, Columbia, and Hammer Films.

Q

What is Boo's actual name?

A

Boo's real name is Mary, as shown briefly on one of the crayon drawings she shows to Sulley in the scene where Boo is going to sleep on Sulley's bed.

Q

Why are Sulley and Randall considered to be rivals?

A

Sulley and Randall are the two scariest monsters at Monsters, Inc., and each night they bring back the most canisters filled with screams. They both want to retain their positions as Number One on the Scare Total list.
