Mary Morgan Gibbs (born October 5, 1996) is an American voice actress. She voiced the human toddler Boo in the Pixar animated film Monsters, Inc.. Her middle name has been misstated as "Jessica" when in fact her middle name is "Morgan". She had the issue corrected on IMDb.[1]
Personal life
Mary Gibbs was born in Pasadena, California, to Pixar animator and director Rob Gibbs (1964–2020). [2] Gibbs has been documenting her life and time as Boo on her YouTube channel, Boo Grown Up. As a teenager, Gibbs suffered from scoliosis before she had surgery in 2012 to fix it.[3]
Career
Having been a toddler at the time she was recorded as the voice of Boo in Monsters, Inc., audio crew found it difficult to record her lines because she would run all over the Pixar office.[4] When Pixar's Inside Out (2015) was in production, the audio recordings of Gibbs's screams as Boo were reused for baby Riley.[4] One of the production babies listed in the film credits of Toy Story 2 (1999) is Mary. Rob Gibbs, her father, was the story artist for that film.
Gibbs returned to acting in 2022, voicing the character of Jenessa Jensen in the audio-drama series Heroes of Extinction. In January 2022, Gibbs spoke on a panel at the Bakersfield Mouse-Con event about the project alongside other actors and producers of the series: Jason Braden, Isaac C. Singleton Jr., Jerry Cornell, C. Andrew Nelson, and Joshua C. Shaffer.[5]
