It begins when Mary Gibbs aka Boo was little. She played with her aunts Tilly and Milly. While they play they saw a commercial for Honker's Pizza Parlor. Not far away the young prince Michael is going on the trip with his parents, King Ted and Queen Isabella of Airderia to visit Boo's home. Boo realized that Michael is here and fall in love. But the storm took him away. King Ted and Queen Isabella realized that their son is missing and hope the lost prince will return.

14 years later, Boo still dreams of marrying the lost prince. When she went back to the monsters world, Boo realized that her best friends are celebrating her 18th birthday at Monsters, Inc.

Meanwhile Fungus misses Randall. Then 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 crashed and they turned to see Randall wearing the necklace that gave him shapeshifting powers and recenmtly recieve a ring that keeps him young and handsome forever. 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. Randall encourages the villains including the Drunken Fish thugs to work for him.

Hours later, Mike decided to open a new show which he visits Talia, Hiccup and Bufo by host a reality show, Monsters Sing, where many monsters and Humans sing. Among them, George singing Wrecking Ball, Baby Smitty singing Memory from Cats, Talia singing Tell Me which was ruined when Van and Minny were asking directions. Felipe singing Its a Jungle out Here, Charming singing I'm Too Sexy before Red kick him out due to his inappropriate and rude singing which upsets him and cries, Artie singing Can't Stop This Feeling, Painter singing Im In Your Castle, Melman doing Shakespare, Minions singing Another Drinking Irish Song, Claire and her mute friend Casey doing a slow dance, Princess Poppy of Troll Kingdom singing Make me like You, Justin singing La La Dee, John Riley singing Treasure, Shira singing Papi, Blu the macaw, Charlie the anteater and Rafael doing the 3 Stooges act, Norm the polar bear and the lemmings doing the Nae-Nae, Audrey Wiggins singing Out of the Woods, Alex and Gia lip-syncing a Michael Jackson favorite I Just Can't Stop Loving You and more.

Randall tried to step in, Baymax and Olaf stopped him. But when Olaf thinks he's a signing security guard and Baymax had a fondness for cats, Randall laughed

Linda arrives at the auditions, standing on a car hood after crashed into objects. Mike went to the backstage to tell his friends, leaving Linda 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 (spoofing the twins from The Shining) told her that Randall has great powers. So she followed them until they reach the entrance to his secret lab. They went on one of the ride vehicles and entered Randall's secret lab. Boo saw Randall blending into the background. He was delighted to see Boo again! He introduced himself and then introduced Boo to his team: His second-in commands, Scarlet and Herb Overkill, his secretary, Bellwether, his muscle, El Macho, his pet, Snowball the evil rabbit, his magic user, Lord Shen, his spy/stealth, Leonard the pig, his financer, Mandrake, his scientist, Dave the octopus who can turn into a human, his crime lord, Vector, his military commander, Captain Gutt, his double agent, Big Boss and his foot soldiers/henchmen: The Green Biker Pigs, the Drunken Fish thugs and the British guys. 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 be his! Then Boo and her friends went to her door. When she saw Michael she met him.

When Boo and Michael 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. Chief Bogo arrived telling her he's Hercules. Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps arrived next dressed as Rapunzel and Flynn. And so does Flash and Priscilla dressed as the prince and princess. Then Pops dressed as Carl Fredrickson appeared telling them about the good old days. Then Randall, dressed as a magician, appeared telling Nick the joke(what is the most serious crime under the sea? Grand theft otter.) Everyone is having a blast. Po and Bing Bong challenges Oh in the Mamushka dance. At dinner Randall arrived with clowns and a behemoth and performed dark magic 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 Michael placed it on her foot.

Suddenly Randall saw Boo and Michael kissing and decided to marry her himself! So he 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.

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

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. As Pigeon Toady reads the Bible, 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 Max bite him on the butt as he tried to choke Chuck and injurie Hank 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 "What the?". But this was surprise as The Minions, Skipper and the Penguins, Painter, Nico and Pedro come into the scene to defeat Randall's minions along with the auditions.

As Michael 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 and carried 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. But when Sulley placed his name in the contract, he took Boo's place as Randall's prisoner. Randall felt the power and took the crown. But as Randall enjoyed his newfound power, an arrow sliced his arm. It was Michael.

During the battle, Skipper and the penguins were showing a dance off in front of the Green Biker Pigs while the Minions hypnotizes the Drunken Fish thugs into dancing, taking their shirts off and revealing their long hair along with Painter painting monsters that explode on contact with the Beefeater Guards, Junior Stork and Pigeon Toady doing the Blues Brothers parody while fighting one of the pigs, King Julien cheering on Mort as he slapped one of the British guys and Nico and Pedro dropping turtles on another.

Later, Painter paints up an exact copy of the Excalibur. So Michael grabbed the Excalibur. Randall transforms himself into the Night Viper. Neil DeBuck Weasel and others inside Buck's head thinks of the plan to put an end to Randall's terrible reign by brainstorming what his fate would be. As Randall aimed his deadly bite at Boo, Michael stabbed him, causing Randall to return to normal and age to an elderly form. With his painful scream, Randall fell to his death. As he fell, his body turned to ooze. The Excalibur then dissolved into Painter's chest so he could make more paintings when needed.

Mike makes a speech about villains reformed and changed their ways and Artie thanked him. But when Michael kissed Boo, everyone became human again, including Hank.

When Michael and Boo were married, all of them having a party by hiring a show auditions. Justin and Talia singing Life's a happy song and Nico and Carla singing Batucada Familia with the audtion singers including Talia, Van and Minny. 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 "Anything is possible when you work as a team."

The cast began singing We Are before the credits rolled, the characters and cast were dancing while singing.

As the credits rolled, the post frame credits were seen with Po open the Big club for humans in the bar for the audition.
