The Monster in Our Midst – Monster City Studios

by Laura Sidsworth


Visiting the huge warehouse complex that makes up Monster City Studios in Fresno was like being on a Universal Studio’s tour. Immediately upon entering the 20K square-foot building, I felt as if I was on a movie set. A jungle-like Indiana Jones theme greets visitors, with a large realistically created elephant's head emerging from grass and plants against one wall. A scene conjuring up an archaeologist's work bungalow is staged with two big-as-life cartoon character bad guys.
