Monsters, Inc.

Trivia

• Monsters, Inc. won the Academy Award for Best Song (Randy Newman for If I Didn't Have You). It was nominated for Best Animated Feature, Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing and Best Music, Original Score.
• The scene where Sully fears Boo has been thrown in a garbage compressor is inspired by the 1952 Chuck Jones cartoon Feed the Kitty.
• Some of the "sets" in this film were used in the animated feature Toy Story.
• All of the digital displays in Monstropolis (Sulley's clock radio, scare station consoles, "Days Without An Accident" sign) are nixie tubes, a neon digital display technology from the 1960s. The five- and six-digit numbers displayed with nixie tubes near the doors are all birthdays of Pixar employees and/or relatives.
• Near the end of the film, Boo excitedly shows Sully her toys in her room. One of the toys she hands him is a clownfish, a hint to the then-upcoming Pixar movie Finding Nemo, a ball which was in Luxo Jr, and another is Jessie from Toy Story 2.
• The Abominable Snowman is from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
