Summary: a good buy
Review: Monsters, Inc. is an annimated movie about the 'monster and human worlds' with a happy ending. It has two dvd's on the movie and one special features. For the price it is it's a good buy.

Summary: Begins as innovative, ends up cliched
Review: Pixar and Disney have put out yet another film, but it doesn't match the majesty of Toy Story and Toy Story 2. Monsters Inc shows us a whole new world we could only dream about. Everything is very creative and just fun to watch. The vocal talents of Billy Crystal and John Goodman make it funny as well. Unfortunately, the story takes a plot twist that results in it becoming very trite. The movie isn't a masterpiece, but the DVD is. All the features on the two discs are spectacular. Many of them are comical while the rest are informative. If you enjoy Disney films, or are a kid at heart, purchase this movie. It's not bad by any means, it just could be better.

Summary: Funny, Charming--and those Amazing Graphics!
Review: Just saw MONSTERS INC. for the first time, and although I wasn't looking forward to some of the cutsy schmaltz that sometimes overly pervades certain Disney films, the entrancing--and vivid--computer animation totally sucked me in, so much that I soon couldn't care less about whatever corny little story the screenwriters were trying to make me believe. However, a funny thing happened during my ongoing visual and aural animation: I actually started caring about the story, about the characters created only from photons and actors' voices--as well as from a screenplay that is completely inoffensive to little ears, yet also listenable to bigger ones. And the graphics--wow! At times I found myself forgetting that this wasn't live-action, especially during what I felt was the best scene, one that reminded me of a wicked inverted-rollercoaster ride. Well, there you have it: a film that everyone from five and up can enjoy, for different aspects of it. Aside from the wonderful visuals, of course we also get two of the best vocal acting performances in recent memory, from Billy Crystal and John Goodman. Yes, we also get some of those patented Disney/Pixar fake 'outtakes' during the closing credits (I know they're a bit corny by now, but they're still kind of cute). With all of the extras on the DVD, I'd say it's a good buy--whether you have a kid or not. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Summary: Fun
Review: While I was skeptical of going to see another mediocre cartoon in theatres, I walked away from this flick really surprised. The animation in Monsters Inc. was great. John Goodman and Billy Crystal are a great on-screen vocal duo of the two main characters. I know my three year old niece loved this movie, and so did I. This movie translates well for DVD and the smaller screen with the sharp sound quality and out-there animation. I don't think this movie will leave you with any dissapointment. I give it a B+.

Summary: Another Good Film
Review: Disney and PIXAR strikes gold yet again with "Monster's Inc.", the story of what happens in the world behind the closet door. There, you'll find Monstropolis, a place where creatures of all shapes and sizes live everyday normal lives, where all the energy in the city comes from screams, and where human children are considered toxic. The plot is set in motion when a big, blue monster named Sully brings a little girl named Boo into the monster world and turns it upside-down. Like in "Toy Story", PIXAR brings a nostalgic twist to the film which makes it not only a "kiddie movie", but equally enjoyable to grown-ups who remember when they thought there were monsters in their closet. The DVD also features an assortment of special bonus features, most notably deleted scenes, art galleries, theatrical trailers. and a full version of the original story concept for the film which only somewhat resembles the final product. In all, I would defiantly recommend this DVD, but it does not quite compare to their previous "Toy Story" film

Summary: I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!!
Review: I am in my late twenties and I loved this movie! I had stopped watching "cartoons" but my friend who is 31 got this movie for Christmas, and I watched it twice at her house. Now I have to get my own copy. I'm just trying to find the best deal. This movie has a great story and is very funny. I love to laugh. I'm going to check out the other "kiddie" movies that I passed over because I thought I was too old

Summary: Charming Children's Movie
Review: Monsters Inc. has one of the the most delicious storylines that Disney has dared to dream up in a while. The monsters' job in this flick is to scare children, but not for the reasons you may think. They collect the screams of children and turn them into much needed energy for Monstropolis. These monsters are terribly frighteningand collect many screams but in all actuality are terribly frightened of the children themselves. The fun starts when one child wanders through her closet and plops into the world of the monsters. John Goodman, the best scarer also has the biggest heart and wants to get her back home before the monsters know she's there and destroy her. Aided by his best friend they begin their journey on the run and eventually grow fond of the girl who they ironically nickname.... Boo! A few unexpected twists takes you to the very predictable ending as all ends well and with a few tears from me as well. What can I say....I still cry at The Lion King. A fun flick that your kids are sure to love and who can protest any movie that will help them NOT be afraid of the monsters in their closet.

Summary: Even Crystal can't save this one
Review: Let it be known that this review does not apply to children, who obviously love this film (although I definitely include something very much germaine to kids later in this review, so please read on). However, as an adult who loved the "Toy Story" movies (by the same filmmakers) and generally appreciate well-made films, I was very sadly disappointed in "Monsters, Inc." Perhaps part of my problem is that I never have understood why anyone would care to spend time being "entertained" by John Goodman, who doesn't even have the benefit of his large presence here, but only contributes his voice, which is thoroughly forgettable. The fun provided by Billy Crystal, especially in scenes with administrative assistant Roz, provide about most of the fun you will find here, and I think they have a total of three brief scenes together. Otherwise, put simply, I just did not laugh. I recall chuckling about three times during the course of this film, and that's not going to earn more than two stars from me, I don't care how cute the little girl is or how great the animation is (admittedly wonderful, although the opening titles "doors" theme is just shabby looking). On the other hand, "Toy Story" still gets me rolling on the floor. In other words, it's not that I'm inured to this computer-generated method of filmmaking; it's just that this one is far inferior to earlier efforts. If the viewer is willing to be charitable based only on the animation, it could be viewed as a really terrific film, but that's like seeing a sci-fi spectacular and only being able later to recall that the special effects were great. A comedy should be FUNNY, not just look good. The thing that really pushed this one into the "really dislike it" category is the boss, the creature who runs the factory. He and Goodman's character have a really nice mentor/protege relationship for most of the way, which is a neat and refreshing change of pace. But, inevitably, they fall into the nasty, class-envy cliche of making the boss the bad guy. Pathetic! So we again indoctrinate our children with the image of an authority figure being evil. Wonderful message, Pixar/Disney. Stuff it.
