FANGS FOR COMING Hidden City Café, the pit stop in Monstropolis, is the name of a real eatery in Point Richmond, Calif., a fave haunt of Docter's. Owner Shellie Bourgault says she's been feeding Pixar workers for 12 years, adding ''We'll serve monsters. They'll eat anything you put in front of them.''
CLEANING UP Soap dispensers in the monsters' locker room say ''Do Not Eat.''
CEREAL FILLER Mike and Sulley's larder is stocked with breakfast cereals: Kreature Krisp, Prickly Puffs, and Dirt Clods. In a market, boxes of Kreature Krisp feature too-small-to-read labels listing ingredients: bile, sweat & tears, artificial colors, sugar, and shrimp.
HIGH-TEKKA MAKI Harryhausen's Sushi, another Monstropolis landmark and site of Mike's romantic dinner with googly-eyed Celia, is named after animation pioneer Ray Harryhausen. ''[He made] the stop-motion monster movies that we all grew up on and love [like] 'Clash of the Titans' and 'Jason and the Argonauts,''' says Docter. Besides, he adds, ''his name just happened to sound like a ritzy restaurant.''
