Boo, voiced by Mary Gibbs, has to endure what is presumably months of late night torture at the hands of the number two scarer at Monsters, Inc. Just think of what the two year old (human) goes through and not just during her unplanned visit to Monstropolis but every night before it. but Boo is the film’s true hero and also the most courageous character in the Pixar universe.
Sure, Sully (John Goodman) and Mike (Billy Crystal) might be the stars of Monsters, Inc. Most people probably think of the cowboy or the spaceman from Toy Story, a member of The Incredibles family or even the little robot with a giant heart called Wall-E but Monsters, Inc.’s Boo is by far the bravest. When it comes to the Pixar’s bravest character it’s really a no brainer. Anything Carl accomplished after was in honor of her and a direct result of her bravery. On her death bed and likely terrified, Ellie put aside her worry and handed every ounce of that bravery onto Carl, asking not that he spend his life mourning her but instead spend it having more adventures. Stowed away and maybe even forgotten, that bravery remained alongside her adventuring helmet for decades until it was suddenly needed. She was going places, dangerous places that would require a helmet, a partner and all the bravery she could muster, but as the years passed, she traded in her grandiose dreams of faraway, savage lands for the comfort, love and fulfillment of a quiet life with that trusted partner.
As a little girl, Ellie Fredericksen was loud, boastful and full of plans, the type of child who’d rip pages out of library books and befriend a strange boy wandering around her clubhouse. It’s a selfless response to an awful situation. The best kind of bravery isn’t lusted after or planned.
