It’s back to work at Monsters, Inc. Pixar’s new LoFi video reopens the Scare Floor for the film’s 25th anniversary, bringing Mike Wazowski, Sulley, Randall and Roz back to a familiar workplace.
The YouTube video, titled “The Monsters, Inc Scare Floor is Open! | LoFi,” invites viewers to join the monsters for a working day. Its description even asks where you would rank on the Scare Charts—a fitting invitation for a setting built around making fright a measurable business.
A workplace built for monsters
That industrial identity runs deep in the original film’s design. In MoMA’s “Designing Monstropolis” audio feature, Harley Jessup, who led the team that developed the movie’s world, describes a city shaped by its central industry: the factory where monsters collect children’s screams to generate power.
The visual possibilities were really wide open. There was a whole idea that Monstropolis is a company town, almost like Pittsburgh, that grew up around one industry. Harley Jessup, in MoMA’s “Designing Monstropolis” audio feature
The designers worked through practical questions on a fantastical scale: how to store millions of bedroom doors, sort them and transport them to the scare floors. Jessup also describes the contrast between the delicate colors of those doors and the enormous concrete building around them. This workplace needed more than desks and machinery; it needed a system for reaching children’s bedrooms.
From Scare Floor to Cheer Floor
The anniversary LoFi video isn’t the only project to find a new use for that space. In October 2025, Disney announced Monsters Funday Football for the Eagles–Chargers matchup scheduled for December 8, 2025. Plans for that separate animated football presentation turned the Scare Floor into the Cheer Floor, with a full-length field and thousands of cheering monsters.
Even the workplace’s competitive machinery had a new assignment in those plans: the Scarer’s Leaderboard would become the Cheer Competition Leaderboard, while bedroom doors would hover above the field. The football concept adapted the factory for game night; the anniversary LoFi video returns to the simpler premise of a day on the job.
