What is Sulley's full name in Monsters, Inc.?

Sulley’s full name in Monsters, Inc. is James P. Sullivan. He is the film’s leading scarer: a huge, blue, purple-spotted monster whose intimidating appearance hides a gentle personality.

Sulley works at Monsters, Incorporated with his best friend and assistant, Mike Wazowski. At the beginning of the film, he is one of the company’s most successful scarers, but his priorities change after Boo enters the monster world. Protecting her forces him to question the rules and fears that govern Monstropolis.

The name is often shortened to “Sulley,” so quiz players may remember the nickname without recognizing the formal name. James P. Sullivan is also distinct from Henry J. Waternoose III, the company’s CEO, and Randall Boggs, Sulley’s rival. John Goodman provides Sulley’s voice in the film. Monsters University later shows Sulley as a younger student whose rivalry with Mike develops into their lasting friendship.
