Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor is an attraction in [[Tomorrowland]].
==Attraction History==
The Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor opened April 2, 2007 in Tomorrowland. The attraction is housed in was constructed as a replacement for the Circle-Vision 360 theaterfilm "The Timekeeper". The show was created to showcase "digital puppetry", which previously held a new technology that Disney helped develop as a part of its "Living Character Initiative". By using this new technology, Disney was able to create a show that allowed for the TimekeeperMonsters on the screen to interact with the audience (a technique that had previously been used in [[Turtle Talk with Crush]] at [[Epcot]]). <ref> https://books.google.com/books?id=WK7T50f8i-oC&pg=PA73&lpg=PA73&dq=Monsters+Inc.+Laugh+Floor+Digital+Puppetry&source=bl&ots=_cweIf1-VM&sig=xEzW37MTrdikMdMg8Y4JBLe3rNg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CC4Q6AEwA2oVChMI__TlwYCgyAIViXA-Ch3eGAGb#v=onepage&q=Monsters%20Inc.%20Laugh%20Floor%20Digital%20Puppetry&f=false </ref>
==Attraction Plot==
===Mac and Jeeves===

'''(AUTHORS NOTE: Due to the spontaneous nature of the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor the following section is a description of a possible routine that Mac and Jeeves could perform.)'''
The first act at in the Monsters , Inc. Laugh Floor is a two headed , yellow Monster monster named Mac and Jeeves (although though the monster can go by other names depending on the cast member performing). Mac (, the smaller of the two heads) , boasts that he is a master of human world geography and that he knows every capital in the world. Jeeves is skeptical, so to prove his knowledge he asks the humans Mac selects a human audience member to name name any country. After they do, Mac's answer is usually a humorous side-step of the question (ie. , such as saying the capital of Canada is "C". Following this bit, a large map descends from behind Mac and Jeeves, and they ask the humans audience to raise their hands if they "you know where they (the humans) are fromyou live". After a chosen guest says names their hometown, Mac will give a completely wrong (albeit humorous) description of the location.
An example of this routine is:
Jeeves: "Humans put your hands high in the air if you know where you live."
(The audience camera then picks a guest out to answer the question.)
Guest: "Venezuela"
Mac: "Venezuela is a tiny Arctic country located in the middle of the North Arctic Ocean, famous for ski resorts and the Eiffel Tower!"
After repeating this routine with a couple of guests, Mac and Jeeves then decide to recreate the story of Monsters , Inc. using guests from the Audienceaudience. Different audience members are selected to portray characters from the movie , and they are given silly facial expressions to make. After all of the characters have been selected, Mac and Jeeves retell the story very quickly. In order to keep up with the duo, and the selected guests have to make the expressions fast in order to keep up. Finally, Roz pushes the trap door button again, abruptly ending the duo’s routine and it's time for setting the stage the second act.
===Buddy Boil===
'''(AUTHORS NOTE: Due to the spontaneous nature of the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor the following section is a description of a possible routine that Buddy Boil could perform.)''' Following Mac and Jeeves a purple monster named Buddy Boil takes the stage. He The monster claims that he's is a mind reader and then he asks a random audience member to think of a number. Buddy then tells the volunteer to say the number out loud, closing his eyes - not his ears - so that he will not hear it . The monster then tells the number to the rest of the group. Everyone knows he can hear the number so when Buddy guesses it right and looks surprised, the audience usually laughs. At this point Roz clicks the button, which triggers a trap door below Buddy. Sometimes after falling Buddy humorously asks the same person to pick another number and he repeats the same shtick.
===Marty Wazowski===

'''(AUTHORS NOTE: Due to the spontaneous nature of the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor the following section is a description of a possible routine that Marty Wazowski could perform.)'''
The final act of the Laugh Floor is none other than Mike's nephew Marty. Marty looks like a smaller , orange version of Mike, and his act is pretty much a stand up standup routine. Marty starts out with a monologue. His first couple jokes usually involve his mother ("She really does have eyes on the back of her head") or some kind of pun ("I have a test tomorrow but iI'm not" worried...It's an eye exam!"). After he has finished his monologue, Marty reads some of the jokes that guests sent in. He reads three or four of those before going back to his own jokes. The final jokes of his routine usually frequently require some participation. Marty usually calls on young children to help him with these final jokes. Following the release of Monsters University, Marty Wazowski performs in front of a Monsters University gate.
===Show Conclusion===
After Marty finishes his act, Mike comes back on stage. At this point the canister located to the right of the stage has been filled, and the monster celebrates. When Mike asks Roz what she thinks of the fact that he succeeded in filling the can, Roz replies "Well I guess I have to promote the one responsible". Although Mike believes Roz is talking about him, the camera shows who the cranky monster was actually talking about... "that guy!". After this final joke, Mike tells the audience that the show is over, and guests are dismissed.
