INTRODUCTION ATTRACTION Preshow -- There is a short preshow movie that runs while guests wait to enter the theater. There is also an opportunity for anyone waiting in the preshow to text their favorite joke to a special number. The joke may be used in the performance when they do jokes by humans at the end. Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor -- "Laughter gives us power. If you humans don't laugh loud enough, we may not have enough power to open the exit doors." That's the premise behind the Laugh Floor show, which is kicked off by Roz, the creepy secretary-type character from Monsters Inc. Roz is the first image seen on-screen, and she oversees the crowd entering the theater, then introduces Mike Wazowski, the one-eyed monster from the film, who serves as host of the show. Several cameras planted in the ceiling over the audience spotlight members on the big screens at the front of the theater, with silly captions underneath. One camera finds an adult male, who then becomes the object of several running jokes for the remainder of the show. As the show progresses, Mike introduces a number of monster "acts," in the hope of generating laughter that will be stored in the giant canister on the side of the stage. (Note that the other monsters, the last of whom is Mike's nephew, Buddy, were not in the Monsters, Inc. movie.) During each act, a camera picks out a person at random (could be adult or child) and a cast member rushes over so they can answer questions asked by the character onscreen like "what's your name?" or "where are you from?" Using technology similar to that employed by "Turtle Talk with Crush" over at Epcot, the characters can "see" the audience member, and use the audience responses to tell jokes. By the end of the show, the canister is full and Roz appears to dismiss the audience.
