Mike Wazowski: Better known as Mike, is the protagonist of the film Monsters, Inc. and the prequel Monsters University. He also appeared in the series Monsters at Work as the main character. He’s a spherical, lime green monster with one enormous green eye, two small horns on his head, and slender arms and legs on either side of his midsection.
Monsters, Inc. is a film about a group of monsters
Mike Sulley, the top scorer at Monsters, Inc. best’s buddy, roommate, personal trainer, and assistant in the first film. Randall Boggs is a rival for both of them. He is Celia Mae’s lover, and his inability to turn in documents on time irritates Roz.
Sulley interrupted the date at Harryhausen’s for Celia’s birthday to notify Mike Wazowski that he had led a human girl into the monster world. Sulley tried to demonstrate him by putting her in a Monsters, Inc. gym bag, but Boo escaped and wreaked havoc all over the restaurant. Before the CDA could capture her, the two slipped her out and disinfected the entire restaurant.
When Mr. Waternoose sends Sulley and Mike into the frozen tundra, Mike feels enraged at him for listening to Waternoose instead of him, and a rift grows between them.
When they discover that Waternoose and Randall are secretly scheming to drain children of their screams, Sulley dupes Mr. Waternoose into revealing his involvement in Randall’s conspiracy, which Mike Wazowski films and proudly repeats to onlookers. The CDA immediately arrests Mr. Waternoose for his offences. After Sullivan becomes CEO of Monster’s Inc., Roz orders the shredding of Boo’s door, but Mike rebuilds it.
Mike produces the low-budget company play “Put That Thing Back Where It Came From or So Help Me” sometime after the film.
Mike Wazowski New Automobile
Mike is now the protagonist of his own story in short. He’s brought a brand-new six-wheel-drive vehicle to show Sulley. Sulley accidentally wrecks the brand-new automobile and injures Mike when they both get in the car. Mike finally tosses Sulley out, speeds away, and utterly ruins the automobile.
Monsters University is a video game about monsters.
Mike Wazowski made a cameo as the protagonist in the prequel
Mike Wazowski first appears as an elementary school student in Ms. Graves’ class on a field trip to Monsters, Inc. Mike tries to look at the horror floor during the field trip, but the other children push him aside, telling him to him he doesn’t belong there.
Mike crosses through the safety line and into the Human World with a scarer named Frightening Frank McCay. Mike stands there watching Frank startle a child before following him through the door.
Mike’s slipping in unseen and offering him his Monsters University cap impresses Frank, who is not only astonished but also impressed. Mike is inspired to become a scarer and attend MU as a result of this experience.
Mike’s roommate, now 17 years old, is revealed to be Randall Boggs (his and Sulley’s eventual archenemy), who is amicable to Mike on the first day of college. When Mike notices Randall’s invisibility at work, he pushes him to utilize it more and tells him to remove his non-invisibility glasses. Mike gets his first glimpse of Sulley (Mike’s eventual friend) while attending Professor Knight’s Scaring 101 class. Despite his innate aptitude, Sulley is lazy and pompous.
Dean Hardscrabble, the school’s headmistress and a well-known Scarer, then enters Prof. Knight’s classroom and informs all students that they must pass a final exam at the end of the semester to continue in the program. Mike Wazowski makes a firm commitment to studying diligently right away. After stealing Archie the Scare Pig (the mascot of rival school Fear Tech), Sulley enters via the window.
Archie rushes away with Mike’s hat. Mike catches him, but Sulley takes the credit, pleasing Roar Omega Roar president Johnny Worthington III and igniting a feud between Mike and Sulley. Finally, the two monsters get into a dispute and knock over Hardscrabble’s scare can by accident. Despite her calm demeanor, she uses the situation to let Mike down, telling him he isn’t terrifying. Due to his irresponsibility, Sulley is also kicked off the show.
Mike decides to compete in the university’s Scare Games by teaming up with Oozma Kappa, a fraternity made up of rejected monsters, which includes Don Carlton, Terri and Terry, Art, and Squishy. Mike, sensing an opening, persuades Hardscrabble to accept a wager: if OK wins, she would admit the fraternity to the Scare Program; if they lose, Mike will be forced to quit MU.
Mike has no choice but to accept Sulley’s addition to the squad because they require six ‘bodies,’ and Randall has joined ROR, leaving Mike. Because Jaws Theta Chi was disqualified, OK only makes it through the Toxicity Challenge. Mike then takes command of the crew and tells them to follow his lead.
They must navigate through the library without drawing the librarian’s attention, retrieve their flag, and flee for the next task. Sulley’s impatience nearly lost them the game, but Squishy managed to get the flag in the midst of the chaos, and they advanced to the next round. They are invited to a party at ROR’s house that night, but ROR humiliates them in front of the entire school.
OK is ready to give up because they are the laughingstock of the entire university, so Mike sends them to Monsters Inc to show them that they can still be Scarers if they use their peculiarities to their advantage. Sulley and Mike both change as a result of this, and they begin to respect each other.
OK trains even harder under Mike’s increased leadership skills, and they make it through the next two rounds using their genuine talent. For the final round, OK will face ROR, with both teams attempting to scare the other with simulators set to the maximum setting. Mike goes last, as suggested by Sulley, pitting him against Johnny. Mike recalls all of his life’s scorn and ridicule in the simulator, releasing his rage in one great scare, and OK wins the Scare Games, much to everyone’s amazement.
Mike eventually realizes that the simulator was manipulated to receive the most incredible score possible. Sulley acknowledges it was him, demonstrating his mistrust of his pal. Mike, enraged by the deception and convinced that no one would ever give him a fair shot, enters the human world and attempts to scare a little girl, but instead finds himself at a summer camp, where he partners up with her bunkmates. The other kids don’t think he’s terrifying, so he has to flee.
Sulley arrives minutes later to save Mike Wazowski and has to flee from forest rangers who mistake him for a bear. Mike is sulking near a lake when he sees him. Both of them vent their frustrations as they dispute. They eventually patch things up and return to the entrance, but Hardscrabble disables it.
Mike believes that with the rangers around, they will be able to generate enough energy to open the entrance to the human realm. Sulley scares the grownups, which not only triggers the door but also overloads every scream canister in the room and the door itself, thanks to Mike’s expertise in fear techniques. Mike and Sulley return, but their acts result in their expulsion.
Hardscrabble was impressed with their success in the games and admitted them into the Scare Program, so the two bid their goodbyes to their OK brothers. Mike doesn’t have a plan for the first time, but he declares that he’s “good simply being alright.” Mike boards a bus to leave MU, but Sulley pulls him aside and tells him not to be satisfied with being alright, claiming that everything that led to OK joining the Scare Program was due to Mike’s efforts.
Hardscrabble appears with the school paper, displaying their front-page placement. She claims that they surprised her, which she thought was impossible. She wishes them both well and advises Mike to “keep surprising people” while she can’t do anything about their expulsion (despite the fact that she was the one who ejected them).
Sulley notices an ad in the newspaper for Monsters Inc, which offers them the opportunity to work for a Scare firm. They begin in the mailroom and work their way up to janitors, kitchen assistants, and finally, can wranglers. Finally, Sulley auditions for the company’s open tryouts and is hired as a scarer with Mike as his sidekick. He and Sulley were named rookies of the year.
The heart of the party
Party Central is a short film about a party. When Sully and Mike decide to pay a visit to Oozma Kaapa, Mike shows up at her party. Mike then borrows a door to summon monsters from the Roar Omega Roar party to the Oozma Kappa party. Mike is last spotted exiting the residence after the party is ended.
Workplace Monsters
Following Waternoose’s arrest, Mike and Sully are now in charge of Monster Inc. He is a Jokester who also teaches former scarers how to be Jokesters.
Mike Wazowski Personality
Mike and Sulley occasionally bicker and/or fight, however it is typically Sulley who annoys Mike Wazowski first. He’s humorous, brilliant, and bold, yet he can’t always recognise what’s clear in a scenario. He has a strategic mind and is a natural thinker, coming to quick conclusions. He’s very sweet and has a great rapport with his girlfriend, Celia. In addition, he is witty and charismatic.
Mike is also gifted with words; he has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to come up with witty retorts to Randall and anybody else who irritates him, yet he can falter when posed a question under duress.
Mike also exhibits a positive attitude in situations that appear to be disappointing by not acting disappointed but rather delighted that it occurred. This is incredibly admirable when his image appears in the media, such as on television, magazine covers, or school ID cards. For example, when he saw that a barcode obscured his photo on a magazine cover, his initial reaction was depressing, but he later revealed that he was relieved that he still featured on the cover.
Mike didn’t alter much from his MU days, except for an increase in his ego, unlike Sulley, who needed some personality correction. Mike recognised that despite his insecurity and acceptance of just being “OK,” he has good traits, due to Sulley.
