Pixar releases first poster for Monsters, Inc. re-release

Monster’s Inc. is returning to cinemas with a shiny 3D lick of paint, and in order to celebrate, Pixar has released an ace new one-sheet featuring everyone’s favourite one-eyed critter, Mike.

The new poster shows Mike struggling to appreciate the benefits of the stereoscopic 3D effect, blessed as he is with just the one peeper. Not to mention the absence of ears to rest those specs upon...

Released back in 2001, Monsters, Inc. tells the story of Mike and Sulley, a pair of employees at the titular company, which harnesses the screams of terrified youngsters and converts them into a renewable source of power.

All is going well, with Sulley basking in his position as the company’s top scare-merchant, until a little girl named Boo crosses over into their world, and all hell breaks loose.
