About Monsters vs. Aliens
When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor
full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to
49-feet-11-inches tall. The military jumps into action and Susan is captured
and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed
Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of Monsters: the
brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape,
half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the
350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however,
when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country.
In a moment of desperation, the President is persuaded to enlist the motley
crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent
destruction.
