Monsters, Inc.

Two films and a series, and the series attaches to the first film's last scene rather than to the prequel.

Where to start with Monsters, Inc.

Only three things here, but the order genuinely is not release order, because the series attaches to the end of the first film while the second film is a prequel.

  1. 1
    Monsters, Inc. (2001) Monsters, Inc.

    Complete on its own, and its final scene is what everything else in the franchise is built around. Nothing before it.

  2. 2
    Monsters at Work, season 1 Monsters at Work

    Starts the day after the first film ends, with the company converting from screams to laughter overnight. It is a real continuation, not a loose spin-off.

  3. 3
    Monsters University (2013) Monsters University

    A prequel about Mike and Sulley meeting at university, where they start out as rivals rather than friends. It spoils nothing, so it can go here or first.

Then what? The second season of Monsters at Work follows the first. Monsters University is the only piece you can move freely, because the first film never claims the two of them met as adults. What does not work is watching the series after the prequel and treating it as a continuation of that film, because it is not.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
