Monster House is an American Academy Award-nominated 2006 computer animated suspense film released on July 21, 2006. The film’s characters are animated primarily utilizing performance capture, making it the second film to use the technology so extensively, following producer Robert Zemeckis’ The Polar Express. The film completed production in early 2006.
The plot revolves around a preteen boy, Douglas J. “D.J.” Walters (Mitchel Musso), who spends lots of his free time spying the house across the street and its owner, Mr. Nebbercracker (Steve Buscemi), a crotchety old man who terrorizes anyone who steps anywhere on his lawn or close to his house.
Even though DJ has seen Nebbercracker take several toys from kids that have stepped in his grounds, his parents (Catherine O’Hara and Fred Willard), dismiss his comments easily as “kid talk”. They then leave town for the weekend for a dental convention.
Charles “Chowder” (Sam Lerner), a chubby teenage boy who is DJ’s best friend, shows up with a new basketball to play with DJ. When they lose it in Nebbercracker’s lawn, DJ ventures there to recover it, thinking he might be asleep. However, he appears and grabs DJ lifting him and screaming at him. This causes him to collapse, seemingly dead, causing DJ to feel responsible. While Nebbercracker is being carried away by the paramedics, he drops a gold key on his lawn, which DJ scoops up.
