"Simulating the movement of hair is considered to be one of the most complex tasks in animation. Before 2001, Pixar's films featured characters with as little hair as possible. The characters in Toy Story and A Bug's Life all had hard bodies and if a character needed hair, it was either very short or tied back. However Pixar pushed the boundaries when they revealed Sulley in Monsters Inc. as the character has over 3.2 million hairs. As the animators could not animate each hair individually, Sulley's shaggy coat has 500 "key" hairs that influence those around them to co-ordinate movement."
