Children's animated feature from Disney Pixar featuring the voice
talents of John Goodman and Billy Crystal. Sulley (voiced by
Goodman) and sidekick Mike (Crystal) are the top scaring team on
the job at an energy firm where their task is to keep Monstropolis
ticking over, running it on the power generated by children
screaming. Believing children are toxic, dangerous creatures who
must be kept out of Monstropolis at all costs, Mike and Sulley are
terrified when they realise that a little girl called 'Boo' (Mary
Gibbs) has followed them back through a door. Slowly they realise
that little Boo isn't actually dangerous at all and uncover a
sinister plot that exists behind the company's happy facade,
involving creepy arch-rival scarer Randall (Steve Buscemi).
Today, "Love Canal" is synonymous with the struggle for
environmental health and justice. But in 1972, when Lois Gibbs
moved there with her husband and new baby, it was simply a modest
neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York. How did this community
become the poster child for toxic disasters? How did Gibbs and her
neighbors start a national movement that continues to this day?
What do their efforts teach us about current environmental health
threats and how to prevent them? "Love Canal" is Gibbs' original
account of the landmark case, now updated with insights gained over
three decades.
