Mary Morgan Gibbs (born October 5, 1996) is an American voice actress. She is best known for voicing the human toddler Boo in the Pixar animated film Monsters, Inc. .
Mary Gibbs was born in Pasadena, California, to Pixar director and story artist Rob Gibbs (1964–2020) and his wife Susan (née Hollands). [1] One of the production babies listed in the film credits of Toy Story 2 (1999) is Mary; Rob Gibbs was the story artist for that film.
As Gibbs was a toddler at the time she was recorded as the voice of Boo in Monsters, Inc. , her parents helped the crew simulate scenarios that would elicit the required audio reactions that would be her lines; recording was difficult nevertheless because she would run all over the Pixar office. [2] When Pixar's Inside Out (2015) was in production, the audio recordings of Gibbs's screams as Boo were reused for baby Riley. [2] As a teenager, Gibbs suffered from scoliosis before she had surgery in 2012 to fix it. [3]
