Top 10 Best Monsters, Inc. Characters

The best characters from the 2001 Disney-Pixar movie Monsters, Inc. include some of the most memorable and beloved figures in animated film history. The story is set in a world inhabited by monsters who generate energy by scaring human children, although they themselves are terrified of the children they scare.

In 2013, a prequel titled Monsters University was released, exploring the origins of the main characters and their journey through college as they trained to become professional scarers.
The Top Ten
James P. Sullivan James P. Sullivan, also known as Sulley, is a fictional character in the Monsters, Inc franchise. He is voiced by John Goodman.

I like the close bond that Sully and Boo had, as if Sully were acting like a father figure for her. It's very sad when the two of them had to say goodbye, which made me cry.

For a very fierce, beyond six feet tall monster, Sully has a very soft spot for Boo, always protecting her. I hope the two of them reunite again.

Monsters University Sulley was the complete opposite of Monsters Inc Sulley. In Monsters Inc, Sulley was humble, good-natured, hard-working, and devoted. However, in Monsters University, Sulley was lazy, arrogant, ignorant, and conceited. And what's worse is that Sulley and Mike were best friends in Monsters Inc, while in Monsters University they were arch-rivals.

Mike Wazowski Michael Wazowski also known as Mike, is a main character in Monsters, Inc. and the main character of its prequel Monsters University. He is a lime green spherical monster with one large green eye, two small horns on his head, and thin arms and legs attached to either side of his torso. He is voiced... read more

In my opinion, Mike is cute, funny, and the best Disney character ever! He makes the movie even better! He is awesome in Monsters University too! Billy Crystal is the perfect actor for him!

I really loved him in Monsters University. I thought he was the sweetest thing, and I really felt for him. He's my favorite character hands down.

Mike is funny, good at communication skills, and tries his best to be a good boyfriend to Celia. He may not like Boo at first, but he still deeply cares for her no matter what.

Randall Boggs Randall Boggs is a Pixar villain from both Monsters Inc and its prequel, Monsters University. He is voiced by Steve Buscemi, and has a reptilian appearance, with purple and blue scales and green eyes.

Randall could have been good. All he wanted was to have people he could call friends. But instead, everyone saw Mike and Sully as the heroes. I mean, he used to be kind back in Monsters University, but when he made a mistake, the "cool" kids abandoned him.

In Monsters University, he said, "I'll get you for this, Sullivan," showing that he still cared about Mike in some way but felt Sully took everything from him. Also, Mike and Sully were starting to become best friends, and Mike was now Randall's only friend. Therefore, he was also mad at Sully because he was jealous.

Plus, Waternoose is the reason Randall tried to kill Boo (thanks to his myth about children being poisonous). He wasn't trying to get back at Mike and Sully. He was just trying to protect everyone from Boo.

So, is he a villain or a shocking hero?

Boo

Boo is my favorite character, and I hope that she reunites with Mike and especially Sully. I heard that Boo might be of Asian ethnicity (not sure which part of Asia). She is adorably cute, so playful, and I wish that she appeared in Monsters at Work just to see the two of them (Mike and Sully) again.

Yeti

The Yeti is very welcoming, kind, caring, friendly, and is very down-to-earth towards others around him.

The Yeti is so friendly to everyone that he comes in contact with.

He loves lemon snow cones. I think that's enough said.

Celia Mae

I can't blame Celia for getting angry because her perfect birthday was ruined. But overall, she's a very good girlfriend to Mike, nice to others, and friendly.

Celia Mae is promoted to floor manager in Monsters at Work.

I like her and the voice actress who voices her!

Henry J. Waternoose III

He would've been one of my favorite characters if he didn't lie about kids being dangerous. Because of this, Sully and Mike had to protect Boo at all costs from any danger. But I liked how he acknowledged that Sully is the top scarer, though.

The most evil guy? Didn't he make up the myth that children are poisonous to monsters and that monsters have to scare, not make them laugh?

I wonder if he regrets his actions after what he did.

Roz Roz is a slug-style monster in Monsters, Inc. who appears to be the key master and administrator for Scare Floor F, holding all the keys to children's closet doors at Monsters, Inc. She is later revealed to be the head of the CDA. Roz is voiced by Bob Peterson.

Mike Wazowski: Wouldn't it be better if it all just... blew away?

Roz: *leans in close to him* Don't let it happen again. I'm watching you, Wazowski. Always watching. Always.

*later*

Roz: This office is now closed. *closes the window on his fingers*

Need I go on?

Roz is funny, an alright character, and she lets Sully and Mike say their "goodbyes" to Boo properly before letting her (Boo's) door be shredded.

He gave me a good laugh when his voice came out in Monsters University. Was that for 4 seconds?

George Sanderson
Fungus

I'm glad that he's not working for Randall anymore because Randall is so mean to him.

He's the good guy in Monsters at Work, no longer working for Randall Boggs!
