Brian Stevenson (Fred Savage) and his family move into their new home. His parents (Daniel Stern, Margaret Whitton) are fighting. His younger brother Eric (Ben Savage) claims to have monsters under his bed and strange troubles keep happening. Brian agrees to switch beds. He sets up various traps and catches a monster named Maurice (Howie Mandel). Maurice shows him another world under his bed which is connected to all the beds. Light turns the monsters into a pile of clothes.
This is a lesser wacky monster character. Howie Mandel does a fine job. Robin Williams is better. Beetlejuice had just done it. At the time, I'm sure that this felt like a B team trying to cash in on a copy. The production is lower level. I do like the Monster Inc premise and quite frankly, under the bed is a much better idea than the door entry. This does have Fred Savage with his child cuteness. It would be helpful to gather a Scooby gang around much sooner. The story needs to push harder and set up a quest quicker. Despite the lesser production quality, this is still a fun and memorable kids movie.
