The top-billed actors are John Goodman and Billy Crystal, as the scaremaster monster Sully and his wily coach/assistant/pal Mike. They're regular working stiffs whose job is to jump out of closets and frighten the very young. One of these is little Boo, voiced by Gibbs when she was just two-and-a-half. To record her lines — which includes such tongue-twisters as "Mike Wazowski." and "Mowki Kowski" — director Pete Docter had to chase her around the studio with a mic. He must enjoy the exercise: in Up he cast the lead role of Russell with non-actor Jordan Nagai, 8, whom Docter held upside down and shook to get his laughing. As for Gibbs, one touch of fame was apparently enough; she's since left showbiz for primary school. She'll be 13 in October.
