The film received generally positive reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing $381 million worldwide on a $175 million budget. The film was the start to the Monsters vs. Aliens franchise, and despite not being followed by a sequel, it was followed by two television special, Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space and Night of the Living Carrots, and a Nickelodeon television series in 2013, that all take place after the film. In Modesto, California, Susan Murphy is to be married to weatherman Derek Dietl. Just before the ceremony, a meteorite from a destroyed planet strikes her, and its radiation is absorbed into her body. Though she initially appears unharmed, during the ceremony, the energy causes Susan to grow fifty feet tall, accidentally destroying the church in the process. Soon, a U.S. military detachment tranquilizes and captures her. Susan awakens in a top-secret government facility that houses monsters, where she meets General W.R. Monger, the Army officer in charge of the facility, and her fellow monster inmates: Dr. Herbert Cockroach Ph.D., a scientist who became a human-cockroach hybrid after an experiment gone wrong; B.O.B. (Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate), a brainless and living indestructible mass of blue goo that is a result of a food flavoring mutation; the Missing Link, a prehistoric 20,000-year-old fish-ape hybrid who was thawed from deep ice by scientists; and Insectosaurus, a massive bug mutated by nuclear radiation standing 350 feet in height that attacked Tokyo. Susan is renamed “Ginormica" by the government and is forbidden any contact with her friends and family. No Regular Play Records Available No Fantasy Draft Records Available |
