14 years later, Boo still dreams of marrying the lost prince. She lives in San Francisco. When she went back to the monsters world, Boo realized that her best friends are celebrating her 18th birthday at Monsters, Inc. Even Pete "Claws" Ward tried to offer her pretzel and beer he got from his vacation to Germany but Boo refused.

In jail the CDA guarded Randall's cell only to realize he had turned invisible to escape.

Hours later the gang are still having a blast, Sulley invites his former fellow Oozma Kappas to that. But the party is crashed and they turned to see Randall wearing the necklace that gave him the ability to hypnotize people. He blamed Mike Wasowski and Sullivan for putting him in jail. When the party was over, Mike and Sulley will protect Boo again if anything bad will happen to them.

Hours later, Mike decided to open a new singing competition at Monsters Theater, where many monsters and Humans sing. Among them, George Sanderson singing Wrecking Ball, Baby Smitty singing Memory from Cats, Henry singing Tell Me which was ruined when Bonnie and Clyde were asking directions. Felipe singing Its a Jungle out Here, John singing Can't Stop This Feeling, Painter singing Im In Your Castle, Jeffery doing Shakespare, Claire and her mute friend Casey doing a slow dance, Waxford singing La La Dee, John Riley singing Treasure, Jane singing Papi, Sherri, Don and Squishy doing the 3 Stooges act, Norm Dudley doing the Nae-Nae, Judith singing Out of the Woods, Justine and Jeff lip-syncing a Michael Jackson favorite I Just Can't Stop Loving You and more.

Celia arrives at the auditions, standing on a car hood after crashed into objects. Mike went to the backstage to tell his friends, leaving Celia angry for missing her turn. She stomps on a car hood and gets hit in the face with it. Mike tells his friends to get ready for Randall to sing Broadway Song.

After Boo looks around, two green pigs told her that Randall has great powers. So she followed them until they reach the entrance to the Boggs Industries building which is disguised as a hotel. Boo saw Randall blending into the background and is disgusted by all the souls in his body. As Randall changed the color of his skin to purple and blue, he was delighted to see Boo again! He introduced himself. So he helps Boo find the lost prince. He made a deal with her: If the lost prince married her before the sun sets all her dream comes true but if he don't, she will join his souls in his body! Then Boo and her friends went to her door. When she saw Andrew she met him.

When Boo and Andrew heard of the Blood Moon Ball coming to Monsters, Inc. they were invited. On their way to the Blood Moon Ball, Boo, Mike, Sulley and Michael meet Sanders Sullivan, Sulley's grandfather who retired to Monstropolis Oasis and his assistant, Yeti who recently moved to Monstropolis. He taught Mike and Sulley downward dog.

When they arrive at the Blood Moon Ball, they stumble upon Roz who is dressed as a duchess. Sulley arrived telling her he's Hercules. Mike and Celia arrived next dressed as Rapunzel and Flynn. Then Sanders dressed as Carl Fredrickson appeared telling them about the good old days. Then Randall, dressed as a warlock, appeared telling Branch the joke Everyone is having a blast as the unknown singer sings 24k Magic. Mike challenges Mac in the Mamushka dance by dancing to. At dinner Randall arrived with clowns and a behemoth, performed dark magic by turn off the lights causing his skin to change to black with neon green stripes, neon blue eyes and neon pink lines on his lips in front of the guests, which are surprised and excited and Randall agrees that the festival is that way. But midnight stroke and Boo lost a glass slipper but Andrew placed it on her foot.

Suddenly Randall saw Boo and Andrew kissing and decided to marry her himself! So he orders one of his minions, Quarky, to go find top shapeshifting brainbox, Qem. After Qem gets forced to tell Randall how to change his appearance, Randall morphs himself into the evil man, Vincent. Macintosh Graves, who can turn invisible, spies on Randall and goes back to Mike to tell him Randall's evil scheme. However, due to Mac's lisp he got after accidently hitting himself on a strangely positioned car hood, Mike assumes Mac is drunk and tells him to have a rest.

Later as Boo watched TV something is hypnotizing her. It was Vincent. His plan is working.

As Andrew is heartbroken, he and Boo wondered if they can see each other again.

A day later Terri and Terry Perry are walking when they saw the evil man looking in the mirror seeing his reflection. The conjoined monster brothers told Mike that Boo is forced to marry Randall in disguise so they think of ways to stop that wedding. Then they packed the horns and sounded the alarm. When the monster blew the small horn, they arrive to stop a disguised Randall from marrying Boo. Vincent thinks that's funny but when the monster blew the big horn, he grew angry and found out that Sulley is behind that plan. As the heroes fight, the Penguins distract the bad guys by doing a slap dance.

Vincent screamed when Jake bite him on the butt as he tried to choke injure Squishy and seeing his evil necklace falling to the ground and broke. Boo was no longer under his spell and Vincent sounded like Randall when he saw Boo and Michael being reunited.

Macintosh Graves was so surprised by this, he says. But this was surprise as the monsters come into the scene to defeat Randall's minions along with the auditions.

As Andrew revealed he is the lost prince to Boo, the sun sets and chains appeared on Boo's wrists. Laughing victoriously, Randall transformed back into his scaly lizard-like self, carries Boo and runs away with her. But Sulley stopped them. Sulley told Randall to release her, but he refused because Boo belongs to him now and made a deal. But when Sulley placed his name in the contract, he took Boo's place as Randall's prisoner, his soul sucked into Randall's body with the others. Randall felt the power as his skin changed color again. But as Randall enjoyed his newfound power, a sword sliced his arm. It was Andrew.

Later, Painter paints up a bow and arrow set. So Andrew grabbed it. Randall transforms himself into the Night Viper. As Randall aimed his deadly bite at Boo, Andrew aimed his bow and arrow at him, killing him instantly. With his painful scream, Randall reverts back to his normal self, age to an old age and fell to his death. The Bow and Arrow then dissolved into Painter's chest so he could make more paintings when needed. All the souls were released from his body as he died, including Sulley.

Mike makes a speech about villains reformed and changed their ways and Sulley thanked him. Even one of the minions wishes she can open a Japanese steakhouse in Monte Carlo. But when Andrew kissed Boo, every monster became human again. Monstropolis became Airderia again!

When Andrew and Boo were married, all of them having a party by hiring a show audtions. Everyone sings Life's a happy song. They have a reception at Honker's Pizza Parlor and rode off to their happy ending. The movie ends with painter jumping up at the screen before saying "
