Movie Summary:

            Mike has always been the smallest in his school. In the beginning he is seen as a tiny green monster with braces that no one likes, he goes on a school trip to Monsters Inc. There he meets a scarer that tells him of the university he went to, and how it has the best scarer program. That monster gives Mike his MU baseball hat. Mike puts it on and sneaks into a humans bedroom to see how the monster scares. In that moment Mike realizes he wants to be a scarer. Mike goes through school, being the best in his studies to make it into Monsters University. Mike gets in and into the scaring program. His roommate is Randall.

            They go to their first class, and the other classmates laugh at how theses two little monsters got into this program. Mike is ready for class with his books, but then James. P. Sullivan arrives late with nothing. Everyone is impressed though because his dad was a legendary scarerer. During that class they meet the head of the program a grouchy monster who is obsessed with her can of scream. She tells them there will be an upcoming exam that will either allow them to pursue the program or be kicked out.

            The following night there is party and Randy is going in hopes to make friends and join a group. Mike encourages him to ditch his nerdy glasses which makes him squint to see. While Mike studies for the exam Sulley comes running into his room from the window with a pig. The pig is a school mascot for a rival University. Mike and Sulley chase the pig and Mike ends up catching the pig. Sulley however is praised for the capture of the pig and one of the biggest scaring groups invites him to join in.

            It isn’t until the exams that Sulley’s group takes back his jacket. They tell them he can join in if he beats Mike in the exam.

            Come exams Mike and Sulley start fighting and hit the heads record scream can. She comes obviously furious but holds it back, she tells them their exams are right now, Mike answers correctly but is not scarey enough. Sulley then answers wrongly but is scarey. The two are kicked out of the scaring program. Furious at each other they blame each other for their mistakes.

            One day Mike goes to the sign up for the scaring games but is unable to find a group to join, he then joins the O.K group, a group of misfits. They however are down a member so Mike asks Randy, but he has already joined the popular group that Sulley was kicked out of because of his powers to turn invisible. Just then when Mike’s team seems hopeless Sulley decides to join the group.

            Mike and Sulley move into their new dorms for O.K, it happens to be one of the members, Squishy’s mom’s house. The other members are happy to have them. Art, a hippie styled monster, Terry, and Terri a two headed monster, and an older sales man (who’s name I can’t remember.) Sulley and Mike are forced to share a tiny room, and have many fights and problems.
