Set years after the Laugh Revolution transformed Monstropolis, the factory is thriving… until a mysterious energy fluctuation begins causing laugh-power blackouts across the city. With doors malfunctioning, lights flickering, and power levels dropping dangerously low, Monsters, Inc. faces a crisis unlike anything they’ve seen — one that could shut down their world forever.
Mike and Sulley discover the source: a new human realm, accidentally created from overlapping dreams of children around the globe. This unpredictable “Dreamworld” is unstable, chaotic, and filled with strange hybrid creatures born from kids’ imaginations. Some adorable. Some not so much.
When a young girl named Luna gets trapped inside this dream dimension, its collapse threatens both the monster and human worlds. To save her, Mike, Sulley, and a newly promoted MIFT team must journey into Dreamworld — a dazzling yet dangerous place where fears, fantasies, and forgotten nightmares come to life.
Meanwhile, Randall Boggs unexpectedly returns, claiming he knows how to stabilize the dream dimension… but the monsters must decide whether they can trust their old enemy again.
As the barriers between dreams and reality start to break, the team faces the question at the heart of the story:
What happens when laughter isn’t enough?
Packed with emotional heart, nostalgic callbacks, wild new characters, and Pixar’s most imaginative world-building yet, MONSTERS, INC. 3 (2025) delivers a hilarious, thrilling, and surprisingly heartfelt adventure.
