Monsters, Inc. (2001): Sulley, Mike, Boo, and Pixar Collecting
Revisit the 2001 Pixar film and the expressive monster designs that continue to inspire character collectibles.
The film and its era
Pixar's Monsters, Inc. arrived in 2001, introducing James P. Sullivan, Mike Wazowski, Boo, and a world built around the monsters' workplace.
Why its imagery endures
Sulley's textured blue-and-purple design, Mike's single eye, and Boo's costume are easy to recognize across plush, figures, and themed merchandise.
Collector notes
Collectors can distinguish merchandise tied to the original film from items inspired by later stories or theme-park attractions. Note the specific depiction and manufacturer for a more useful catalog.
