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>

The attraction is based on the Disney-Pixar movie |alt= Monsters, Inc. The Laugh Floor takes place in the fictional world of Buddy Boil]]Guests begin their trip to Monstropolisby entering the Tomorrowland Expo Center. Once inside the attraction’s waiting room, Mike Wazowski appears on television screens to explain how the club got its start. ==Queue and Backstory==

As guests are waiting in line for According to the short film, the attraction takes place after the events in Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floorand Monstropolis is now running on clean and safe "laugh power" instead of fear. The new energy works well, but there is currently not enough laughter to fuel Monstropolis. To solve this problem, Mike Wazowski appears on television screens in suggested that they open a Laugh Club. In order to get to the room club, humans are temporarily transported to explain how Monstropolis via special doors in Tomorrowland. In short, the residents of Monstropolis are counting on the laughter from the club got its startto fuel their city. After the video is shown, guests watch a commercial for Monsters University before they are ushered inside the Laugh Club to their seats.

The backstory While guests are waiting in line for the attraction takes place after they have the events opportunity to submit jokes for the monsters to use in Monsters, Incthe show. Monstropolis is now running on clean and safe "laugh power" instead A handful of fear. The new energy works well, but there is one problem. There is currently not enough laughter to fuel Monstropolis. To solve this problem, Mike Wazowski suggests that they open a Laugh Club. Humans these submitted jokes are temporarily transported to Monstropolis via special doors in Tomorrowland, and their laughter from the club will help fuel Monstropolisusually chosen.

After ===Main Show===As guests enter the video is showmain theater, guests some individuals are ushered inside highlighted by the Laugh Club attraction’s cameras and given humorous captions (i.e. "will buy everyone a churro"). After everyone has been seated, Roz (from the movie Monsters, Inc.) appears on the theater’s left screen and explains to their seatsthe audience how laugh power works.

When guests begin to get seated, the theaters cameras will located guests and show them on the main screen. A humorous captain will then appear such as" {{Quotation| "Will buy everyone a Churro"}}  After everyone While Mike is seated, Roz (from in the movie Monsters Inc.) appears on the left screen and explains to everyone how laugh power works. {{Quotation|"See that giant canister, that's where we collect your laughter. The more you laugh the more power we collect. The less you laugh...well..we may not have enough power to open to the exit doors"}} After Roz is finished, the MC (Monster processes of Ceremonies) Mike Wazowski appears on the center screen. He introduces himself as "Wazowski with one eye", then begins to tell jokes about Roz. {{Quotation| "Why did the chicken cross the Road?.....To get away from Roz!}} As Mike is telling the making jokes about Roz, she appears again on the left screen, predictably unamused. She tells Mike he better "fill the can this time, or else". When Mike retorts with "or else what", she pushes a button which opens a trap door below. Mike can be heard crashing below, but luckily he reappears on the right screen where he introduces the first act.  While Mike is making jokes about Roz he informs guests that the phrase, "you stink" is a compliment in the monster world. When he says this, an adult male appears on screen. Whoever is chosen at this time is known as "that guy" for the remainder of the show. Subsequent monsters will make jokes with "that guy" as the punchline (ie. "That Guy Joke")At the end of the show the guest chosen as “that guy” receives an “I was that guy” sticker. Following the end of his introduction, Mike introduces the Laugh Floor’s first act “Mac and Jeeves”.

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.

(The audience camera then picks a guest out to answer the question.)

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.

 '''(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.

The final act of * Ron Schneider, who was the Laugh Floor is none other than Mike's nephew Marty. Marty looks like original Dreamfinder walk around character in EPCOT Center’s early days, was a smaller orange version part of Mikethe Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor’s opening crew and his act is pretty much “was a stand up routine. Marty starts out with a monologue. His first couple jokes usually involve his mother ("She really does have eyes on ‘friend’ of the back of her head") or some kind of pun ("I have a test tomorrow but i'm not" worriedMonsters for roughly 2½ years” <ref> http://themeparkuniversity...It's an eye exam!"). After he has finished his monologue, Marty reads some of com/disney/tpu-review-monsters-inc-laugh-floor-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 require some participation. Marty usually calls on young children to help him with these final jokes-giggle-gang/</ref>.
