Summary: Wow This Was Tremendous Fun
Review: From the start of Monsters, Inc. I knew that this one would beome a classic. The movie is fun to watch for old as well as the young. Goodman & Crystal were fantastic as the voices of the main characters. The suspense was metered out with just the right amount of intensity. I thought that Toy Story was great and it is but move over Toy Story I & II, Monsters, Inc is a must have DVD for young and old movie watchers. The characters are delightful. The imagination it took to create all the different variations on normal everyday life was masterful.

Summary: Very Humorous but should not be Rated G
Review: As an adult, I really enjoyed watching Monsters, Inc. I found it to be extremely humorous; however, I was disappointed to see that Monsters, Inc was rated G. It should have been rated PG, as many scenes warrant parental guidance. There are different parts of the movie that can be frightening to small children. At least ten different scenes portray violence, one of which involves strangling. Language inappropriate for small children is used (i.e., "you stupid, pathetic waste...," "you idiot," "jerk," etc). The DVD came with a lot of interesting extras, such as how the movie was made. It is incredible! Pixar did an amazing job with the graphics of this movie.

Summary: Who loves it more, me or my 2 year old?
Review: This movie is fantastic from start to finish. Amazing animations, funny for kids and adults, imaginative, entertaining. I just love this movie and have been judging all other new kids' movies against it. Tough standard to live up to! Pixar ROCKS. Lilo & Stitch and Treasure Planet didn't have a chance against this flick in my mind. A *must own*!

Summary: I must have seen a different movie than the other reviewers
Review: .... Because what I saw was a high production film with more plot holes and predictable characterization than I can forgive. The dialogue by the various characters from heroes like Scully to the forgettable revelations that the boss was the bad guy was seen from a mile away. Snappy delivery does not equate to original stories or memorable plot designs. I do not own this DVD but I saw the film in the theater and presented as entertainment twice since then and there was that in flight presentation from Europe too which I studiously viewed it trying to "get it". Did I like the characters? No. What was to like. Scully was a lovable lug with a heart, surprise, surprise. The big-eyed Mikey portrayed by Billy Crystal was also a character that's been presented over and over again as the selfish, funny guy who has a change of heart by the end (insert lovable smart-alec meercat from the Lion King, Jason Alexander's gargoyle from The Hunchback, monkey from Alladin, crab Sabastian from The Little Mermaid, petulant animated clock from Beauty And The Beast......), then the big corporate boss was the bad guy?! Noooooo.... really? Couple all that with a cute-as-a-button, prespeaking little girl who coos and ahhs and squeaks and is terrified by all those bad guys, but wants to be snuggled by the big blue Scully and you have a predictable "hit". Of course people will love this. They're programmed to love it, and none too subtly either. Is it a bad film? No. It's fine. That's all it really is; fine. However when something gets the rave reviews this film recieved, I expect at least one good gut laugh.I'm not as hard to please as I might sound. This was a disappointment. So was Shrek. Maybe it's the highly rendered, overrated CGI that's the problem. Maybe it changes the way I view these predictable films. It's not dazzling me. By the way, my kids and my wife don't "get it" either. We "got" The Emperor's New Groove, The Iron Giant, Eldorado, Mulan, Lilo & Stitch, as well as the more serious Atlantis from American animated cinema and several good laughs from the recent Ice Age. Compared to those, Monster's Inc is just a lot of the same old thing and not very clever, regardless of the stellar cast and the opinions of reviewers.Here's hoping it gets better with age.

Summary: DVD features are a nice addition to this fun family film
Review: Monsters enter through the closet doors of children to capture the energy of their frightened screams in order to power Monstropolis. All this backfires when a little girl enters the world of monsters and frightens the whole city. Our family loved this show in the theater, and we recently acquired the DVD, which we may have enjoyed more because of all the additional features. The new animated short, "Mike's New Car," is fun to watch, but not nearly as entertaining as the Oscar winning "For the Birds," which was also shown in the theater. We also loved the outtakes and the tour of Pixar studios which provides background on the people and the ideas behind Monsters, Inc. The only problem is: my son figures he'll be able to get a job someday where he can just goof around, ride scooters and have a pet chimpanzee. We briefly watched and listened to the running commentary on the film, but will probably devote more time to this feature in the future. This DVD would be fun for the whole family.

Summary: Cute Movie with Superb Video Content
Review: Okay, it is a Disney movie (or Pixar, same thing--more or less) so you aren't going to sit down with your college buddies to watch the movie. However, if you are looking for a quality DVD in regards to video quality and audio seperation, this DVD is a must have DVD. II found myself getting tricked by this video as sounds came very distinctly from the rear right and rear left channels on several occasions throught the presentation. The seperation is simply stunning. The video portion is also something to note with high regard. Each frame of the video is perfect with no lines of resolution visible even at close range.

Summary: A great original kids story
Review: This is one of the greatest kids' stories to come out in years. The plot and subject matter are great, the acting is wonderful, and the animation is impeccable. As great as it is for children, the story has enough allusions and is simply well done enough for adults to have a great time watching as well. My wife and I consider it one of our favorites. The DVD itself has some great features. The behind-the-scenes looks and interviews with the people responsible for making the movie are a great insight. I did think that the special features were a bit difficult to navigate, however, and the animations between menus were too long. That's a minor grip, however, on a spectacular movie and DVD.
