Summary: It was amazing
Review: As the title implies, I found this movie to be asolutely stunning, particularily in the character of the little girl. Before this movie I was not aware that computer animation could be so advanced as to be able to accurately reproduce the actions and emotions of a person.
I loved every minute of this movie and would recommend it to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Monsters Inc. AWESOME!
Review: The boys from Pixar saved Disney! After some really bad movies from the Disney studios (i.e. Emperors New Groove - horrible!)comes Monsters Inc. This brilliant and also very funny movie has it all. Not only can it make you laugh but it also warms your heart as you follow Mike, the one-eyed witty small guy and his best pal James Sullivan (or Sully). After finding a human child (considered dangerous to the monster world) they become attatched to the child and need to figure out what to do with it. The storyline is smart and the animation is brilliant. This is a must have for any DVD owner.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A very funny movie
Review: This is a very funny movie that has a good story and is plenty fun. Similar in style and age group to Shrek.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another great film from Pixar
Review: I actually enjoyed the DVD extras more than the movie. The movie is, as one might expect, another of Pixar's great entries in the field of computer animation, and the animation is done superbly. The hairs on Sulley the monster look real, as do the scales on Randall the "bad" monster. A great attention to detail.

Don't get me wrong, I did thoroughly enjoy the film, I just found a few things lacking. #1 is that the middle-to-end portion of the film is just one long chase scene that seems to never end. And why aren't the Monsters Inc hallways full of..well, monsters? My other complaint is that the movie's main plot ends too soon, and then goes on for another ten minutes or so, wrapping up subplots even though it's basically over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: When will the brilliance end?
Review: When will those Pixar people ever run out of great ideas? Another classic from Disney's computer animation studio is this endlessly hilarious tale of two bedroom monsters working at the factory of Monsters, Inc. John Goodman and Billy Crystal more than ably voice the characters, who work hard nine to five scaring children out of their beds all over the world to collect the tots' screams that are used as energy to power their city. Trouble comes when Goodman happens upon a child who has accidentally escaped through her bedroom door into the monster world, a big problem considering children are considered to be virulent by the bigwig monsters who run the city. Goodman keeps the kid around and grows attached to it, inciting only bigger trouble from resident bad guy Steve Buscemi. A climactic roller coaster ride caper scene is heartstopping, and the quality of animation will take your breath away. On top of that, it's really funny!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I got this DVD, and it's great!
Review: I got it for Christmas 2002 with my favorite thing I got for Christmas 2002...a portable DVD player! The movie was so funny. I especially like Disc Two's special features. My favorite part of the movie was the "Put that thing back where it came from or so help me" part.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Love It!!
Review: This is a fantastic movie that I've now seen over a dozen times, but not only is my son (2 years) not tired of it, neither am I. Every time I see it, I notice something that I missed before. It just gets funnier. The computer graphics are great and the voices (especially Billy Crystal and John Goodman)are spectacular. Some of the best "acting" I've ever seen in an animated film. My son got a little freaked during the opening scene the first time he saw it, but once the "monster" was hopping around, screaming, and picking jacks out of his hind-end, he was all amazed and smiling. Great movie for children, doesn't have all those sneaky double-entendres and sexual innuendoes that seem to be becoming more prevalent in "children's" movies of today. Also, excellent for adults. A definite must buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I just love it!
Review: I laugh and cry during the whole movie!
It is one of the greatest movies to see with the family (kids, parents, and grandparents), because everybody will love the story!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HILARIOUS
Review: OK, so some people didn't like my last review; I'll edit it in an attempt to be more helpful.

I really enjoyed this movie, and my kids both enjoyed it. The story does get a bit scary in places, and some younger children may need a little extra assurance, but they get past it pretty quickly. When the monsters become laughable (instead of scary), the kids can relax a bit after watching it.

This is not a "princess" movie; this is a story of two friends who's world starts to fall apart because they do the right thing. It's a great film, honest.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truly Family Friendly
Review: Monsters Inc. is a superb family film. Many other reviewers have laid out the film's plot, so I will simply outline the parts that I liked.

John Goodman and Billy Crystal are an awesome comic pairing that will have everyone laughing. While the movie is funny and has a good guy vs. bad guy plot, there is nothing to worry about your children seeing. The movie is completely devoid of off-color humor and violence. Parents who have felt that even children's movies were becoming too sexualized and/or violent, will find a welcome respite.

Monsters Inc. is also a good looking movie. The animation is excellent, even to the point of really expressing emotions on the characters 'faces'. I think it is the best animation ever made thus far.

The DVD version contains an entire disc of extras and outtakes. They alone are worth the purchase price. Just imagine, John Goodman and Billy Crystal cutting up in the outtakes, it's hilarious! Get Monsters Inc. You won't be disappointed.
