Seven Little Monsters

The Monsters learn the value of teamwork when they are sent to the store for milk. One wants to be in charge, Six falls asleep on the departing bus, Four tries to stage a mutiny and Seven loses his head. But, in the end, they pull together and bring home - Belinda the cow!

It is bedtime and the monsters will not listen to their Mom and go to sleep. Pillow fights, conga lines and even a mosquito hunt is among their antics. But when Mom reads them a fairy tale (featuring the Monsters in classic roles such as Cinderella, Snow White and Goldilocks) they tumble off to sleep.

Irascible Four must always look after his little twin brother Five. But, when Five's behavior includes eating Four's favorite toothpaste and polishing his ankles with Four's favorite toothbrush, Four does the unthinkable when he thinks Five isn't his brother anymore and blurts out that he wishes Five had never been born. Seven tells Four that he hurt Five's feelings. Mama crosses her arms and is very unhappy. Five thinks he's a bad boy and a good boy. When Five disappears, the Monsters think that Five has gone to the hospital to "Give himself back!" when it makes Four cry. The hunt is on when Four learns that an annoying Five is better than no Five at all. When he comes home crying, he wishes Five hasn't been his brother anymore, and One, Two, Three, Four, Six, and Seven begin to cry. So it's up to One, Two, Three, Four, Six, and Seven to get Five back.

When Four wins his brother Five a pet turtle at a fair Five and the turtle share a bond and become inseparable.

Five and his brothers and sisters explore the city drainage system to find Sam. When the reach the end of the line at the ocean they think that Sam has gone to his final reward. The family hold a memorial service and Five tries to deal with the loss. It isn't until they realize that Two is missing from the memorial service that they find out what really happened.

Two ended up with his nose stuck in the bath faucet and with no one to help him out he had simply fallen asleep.

One develops a lazy eye and must wear a patch over her good eye so that it can get better. What could be worse? She cannot fly, which she loves to do.

It's Mary's birthday and the monsters wanted to make the biggest surprise ever for her. However, Seven is fascinated with Monster Marbles after seeing a commercial for the product on TV. When the monsters go out to buy a present for Mary, Seven uses the money to buy the marbles. But soon, he decides to come clean and realizes that the marbles aren’t as great as they were advertised.

Seven eavesdrops on the others, learning their secrets so he can pretend to read their minds. Impressed, they arrange a big show for all the neighborhood kids, but of course Seven's act falls flat. He then admits he eavesdropped and apologizes to everyone.

After learning all about the moon from "Buzz" Three, Four decides to build a spaceship and go there himself.

Four overcomes his disappointment, realizing that they still had fun, and learned a lot along the way.

The monsters wait impatiently for their cupcakes to finish baking.
