Harryhausen's

"Celia: "Thanks. So, uh, are we going anywhere special tonight?" Mike: "l...I just got us into a little place called, um, Harryhausen's." Celia: "Harryhausen's? But it's impossible to get a reservation there." Mike: "Not for Googley Bear.""

- Celia and Mike Harryhausen's (pronounced Her-rey-How-sins) is a restaurant in Monstropolis. Very Difficult to get a reservation at, it is where Mike Wazowski takes Celia out to for a date to celebrate Celia's birthday. When the doors open and someone comes in what is said sounds like "Potatohead"

History
Harryhausen's is the restaurant that Mike Wazowski takes his girlfriend Celia Mae to for her birthday dinner in Monsters, Inc.. The greeting when visitors arrive is "Get a paper bag!"

During Mike's dinner with Celia, Sulley shows up to tell Mike about Boo, the human girl who somehow got into the monster world. However, she breaks away from Sulley and makes her presence known to all the patrons in the restaurant, causing mass panic. The Sushi Chef calls the CDA for help, and they arrive at the restaurant and round everybody up to evacuate. Mike and Sulley manage to escape with Boo, but Celia is caught. The entire restaurant is then closed off from the city by being quarantined in an aquamarine-colored force field for decontamination. It was after the incident in the restaurant that all of Monstropolis became aware of Boo's presence in the monster world.

The restaurant scene is also featured in Mike's company play Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me.

Trivia

 * The restaurant is named after the deceased stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen.
 * In both the storybook version and the original storyboards of Monsters, Inc., the CDA destroyed the restaurant by blowing it up, but because of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, it was changed to the restaurant being quarantined under a huge force field in the finalized version of the film.
