Monsters, Inc. produced by Disney.
Plot: Despite the efforts of world-famous scarers, Monsteropolis finds itself in an energy crisis. One of the most effective monster teams, Sully and Mike, attempt to allivate pressures on the city by attempting to break the all-time scare record. However, children are no longer as scared of the monsters in their closets, leading to a shortage of screams, the power source of the city. Still, life continues as usual, until the ultimate horror occurs. A child enters the monsters' world. Thrust in a media frenzy, conspiracy plot, and national crisis, the monsters and girl must reach the maze of closet doors to return the runaway back to her home. Old rivalries and new desperations prove stronger and more malicious than originally anticipated, though.

Personal Thoughts: My family watches this movie every Halloween. It delightfully pokes fun at childhood fears in a creative, colorful manner. The characters are memorable, imaginative, and, strangely, believable. Boo, the little girl, is especially well voiced and animated. In addition, the monsters look like children's drawings brought to life. Also, unlike many children's movies, it focuses on the friendship between two male leads as the subplot. For whatever reason, many children's films focus on romantic themes which, while not problematic in its own right, becomes overdone.
While the film did not lead to sequels, it did inspire Mike's New Car, a short, and a series of Pixar's famous outtakes.
Side Note: DreamWorks Dragon does not approve of your film choice.
