Newly revealed story details introduce the narrative that will invite guests into Monstropolis, the first-ever land inspired by Disney and Pixar’s “Monsters, Inc.” coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The experience is built around H.U.M.A.N. Day, short for “Humans Understand Monsters Are Nice”, a citywide celebration that brings humans into the monster world for the first time.

Set after the events of the original film, the story builds on the discovery by James P. Sullivan and Mike Wazowski that human laughter is significantly more powerful than screams. This breakthrough not only transformed the city’s energy source but also reshaped how monsters view the human world.

Now, that shift has led to what’s being described within the city as a “historic decision.” For the first time, leaders are preparing to open the doors between worlds, inviting humans to experience Monstropolis.  

To support this new chapter, the city has established the Department of Human Relations, a newly formed team dedicated to helping monsters and humans better understand one another and preparing the city for this historic first encounter.

H.U.M.A.N. Day serves as the backdrop for guests’ arrival into the monster world. Part celebration and part cultural exchange, humans are invited to explore Monstropolis, interact with its citizens, and experience the city firsthand as monsters and humans come together through laughter instead of fear.

As the land continues to take shape, guests can expect a fully realized city filled with vibrant streets, working industries and recognizable locations inspired by the film. Iconic destinations such as Harryhausen’s restaurant and the Glob Theater will help bring Monstropolis to life.
