The action of the film takes place in the small town of Monstropolis, whose citizens are monsters of all kinds. Most of them lead normal lives, going to work, studying and starting a family. In the middle of the city, however, there is a corporation quite unusual for us, normal people. Potwory i Spółka is a company with doors to the world of people. Passing through them, employees find themselves in the bedrooms of young children who must scare as much as possible. This is the only interaction of humans with monsters that normally keep their distance and look at humans with dislike. Everything changes, however, when the main character, Sulley, comes across a girl called Boo, who is not only not afraid of him, but decides to accompany him on his way to the world of monsters. Mike Wazowski, Sulley’s friend, must help him safely escort his new companion back to the human world. In 2013, the prequel of the film also premiered –Monsters University .
Due to the technical requirements, the production of the film itself took about four years. The form of a three-dimensional image made it necessary to develop special programs that allowed to perfectly capture such details as chiaroscuro, hair or wavy fabrics. The film was directed by Pete Docter, Lee Unkrich and David Silverman. The script was created in collaboration with Dan Gerson and Andrew Stanton. Potwory i Spółka quickly turned out to be a hit, as evidenced by the winning of 5 statuettes, including an Oscar, as well as receiving as many as 23 nominations.
In Poland, the film hit theaters on February 1, 2002.
