## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Here's a film that asks, what if monsters had to scare kids for a living? Monstropolis' top scarer, James P. "Sulley" Sullivan, and his pal Mike Wazowski find their world upended when a human child breaches the monster realm. It's up to them to return "Boo" home without causing a panic, which seems like a metaphor for parenting.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful, tender

**Critic & audience scores**: IMDb 8.1/10 (1072549 users) · Rotten Tomatoes 96% · Metacritic 79/100
