1 Monsters, Inc. 怪物公司
The story takes place in Monstropolis, a city populated entirely by monsters. Monstropolis is not part of the human world, but it can be connected to children’s bedrooms through their closet doors. When a door is properly activated, it becomes a portal between the monster world and the human world. The city’s power supply is provided by Monsters, Inc., a power plant that employs monsters to scare children and extract energy from their screams.
The company has a huge warehouse full of doors, work areas called “scare floors” where the doors are activated, and a special training room in which employees practice their scare skills. The company’s best scarer is James P. “Sulley” Sullivan (Goodman), whose assistant is his best friend and roommate Michael “Mike” Wazowski (Crystal). Sulley’s main rival is Randall Boggs (Buscemi), but he enjoys a patronizing relationship with the company’s CEO, Henry J. Waternoose Ⅲ(Coburn), who likes Sulley because of his scaring ability. However Waternoose is very concerned because Monstropolis is in the middle of an energy crisis because children are harder to scare than they used to be.
如果你是一个小孩子,在某个夜晚,你偷偷打开壁橱,却赫然发现在壁橱角落的阴暗处,一个让人寒毛倒竖的怪物正用绿幽幽的眼睛窥视着你,你会作何反应?尖叫!当然是惊声尖叫!可你还不知道吧,这样可就正中了怪物们的下怀。在我们生活的世界之外,怪物们也有一个属于他们的世界,而维持这个怪物世界的唯一动力能源就是来自小孩子受到惊吓时所发出的高分贝尖叫。为此,怪物们还成立了自己的怪物有限公司,由这个公司中的怪物专门负责前往人类世界恐吓孩子们,从而收集他们的尖叫。
不过随着小孩子们对怪物们的恐吓把戏越来越习以为常,想得到他们的尖叫也成了一件异常困难的事,阴险狡诈的鲍格斯在怪兽们下班后擅自把通向人类世界的门启动了。不过这一切全被苏利文看在眼里,他带着好奇走了进去,无意中却把一个两岁的人类小女孩阿布带回了怪物世界。几千年来,只有怪物到人间,还从来没有发生过人类来到怪物世界的先例。这下可麻烦大了,精力无比充沛的阿布将怪物世界折腾了个天翻地覆,鸡飞狗跳,连自问神勇的苏利文也拿她束手无策,而麦克本来就是绿色的脸急得更加绿了。在他们准备送阿布回家的这段时间里,他们与阿布产生了深厚的友谊,这种友谊迫使苏利文冒着生命危险与老板争夺阿布。最终的结局是美满的,老板被抓,苏利文接替了老板,受阿布的启发,他把公司改成了欢笑电力公司,用笑声来发电。
2 Shrek 怪物史莱克
Shrek (Mike Myers), a green ogre that has always enjoyed living in peaceful solitude in his swamp, finds his life disrupted when numerous fairytale
beings, including Pinocchio, the
Three Little Pigs, and Donkey
(Eddie Murphy), are forced into the swamp by order of the obsessive, fairytale despising Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow).
Shrek leaves the swamp to ask Farquaad for the return of his privacy, with Donkey happily tagging along. Meanwhile, Farquaad tortures the Gingerbread Man into revealing the whereabouts of the remaining fairytale creatures until his guards rush in with an object Farquaad has been searching for: the Magic Mirror. The Mirror tells him that Farquaad can only become a real king by marrying a princess.
The Mirror gives him three princesses to choose from (in a parody of The Dating Game): Cinderella, Snow White, and Princess Fiona (Cameron
Diaz). Farquaad chooses Fiona and silences the Mirror before he can mention “the little thing that happens at night” (which is later revealed to be a curse)…
