Monsters Inc. Theme from Monsters Inc. Composed by Randy Newman
Monsters Inc. is a 2001 American computer-animated comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. Featuring the voices of John Goodman, Billy Crystal, Steve Buscemi, James Coburn, Mary Gibbs and Jennifer Tilly, the film was directed by Pete Docter. The film centers on two monsters, the hairy James P. "Sulley" Sullivan (Goodman) and his one-eyed partner and best friend Mike Wazowski (Crystal), who are employed at the titular energy-producing factory Monsters, Inc., which generates power by scaring human children. However, the monster world believes that the children are toxic, and when a little human girl Boo (Gibbs) sneaks into the factory, she must be returned home before it is too late. Randy Newman, who composed the music for Pixar's three prior films, returned to compose the score, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Score and a Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media.
