Answer
Monsters, Inc.
The 2001 Disney film featuring the song “If I Didn’t Have You” is Monsters, Inc. The song appears during the end credits and is performed by John Goodman and Billy Crystal, who voice the film’s central characters, James P. Sullivan and Mike Wazowski.
Written by Randy Newman, “If I Didn’t Have You” reflects the friendship between Sulley and Mike after their lives are changed by a human child named Boo. In the film’s world, monsters enter children’s bedrooms to collect screams as an energy source, but Sulley and Mike eventually discover that laughter is more powerful and humane than fear.
Monsters, Inc. was produced by Pixar and released by Disney in 2001. It was Pixar’s fourth feature film, following Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, and Toy Story 2. The movie combined a comic workplace setting with a story about friendship, fear, and changing an established system.
The song is sometimes overlooked because it plays over the credits rather than driving a major musical sequence. It is nevertheless closely tied to the film’s emotional ending and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. The award was Randy Newman’s first Oscar after many previous nominations.
