Summary: An absolute Scream of a movie!
Review: I could hardly wait until this movie came out on DVD. We promptly bought it, and I've watched it every time my granddaughter watches it when she's at our house. I love this movie so much, I won't let my little monster take it home!I am absolutely awestruck at the abilities of the people who create these new films for families. The art work is incredible, and the storyline is so great, I wish I had thought of it. This story takes Maurice Sendak's books about monsters to the next level. Tully and company are a scream, the voices chosen perfect. I can actually see a little of Billy Crystal in the one-eyed monster...and if that isn't hard to do in acting, I don't know what is. I am hoping that the folks at Pixar can do another movie with these two, and come up with another remarkable and clever plot line along the line of how children actually think. The thought that the monsters are more scared of the children in reality is a scream, and when they learn that what they've been told is not necessarily true, well...this is a lesson we need to be reminded about. We all label each other, because of our differences...and children and adults alike need to be reminded occasionally that different can be good, and to judge people on the basis of their own individuality. I was afraid my granddaughter would be scared with this one, like she was with The Grinch. Never happened. This DVD is a definite collectors item, and a wonderful addition to our library.

Summary: I have seen this movie at least 100 times...
Review: ... because I have a toddler who *loves* Pixar movies. Before this one, it was Toy Story I and II. They still get plenty of watching, but Monsters, Inc. has taken center stage for the moment. The best thing I can say about this movie, besides echoing the positive reviews of other posters, is that I haven't gotten sick of it even through all the watchings. Every time, I notice something new and subtle, and always funny.

Summary: BOO SAVES THE DAY
Review: Pretty darned good movie overall,but if it wasn't for 'BOO'the movie would have been a waste of time. Only in a Disney flik could one little kid cause so much trouble and be so cute doing it.

Summary: Great for adult and young both!
Review: In short, this was one of the funniest animated movies I have seen in a looooong time. This is ONE way to cure kids from being afraid of monsters in their closet! In fact, kids may begin looking inside their closets in hopes of spotting one! The pace moves along steadily and I never got bored. Time seemed to fly by as I watched. Here is a movie that adults and children alike will watch over and over and over ... Great movie!

Summary: Laugh out-loud fun for the whole family!
Review: Disney and Pixar studios have done it again! "Monsters, Inc." is a story about the monsters you were always afraid of after the lights went out. In the world of monsters, Monstropolis, James P. Sullivan (voiced by John Goodman) is at the top of the scare list at Monsters Incorporated, the business where monsters try to scare children around the world so the world of monsters, can keep their electricity. Mike Wazowski (voiced by Billy Crystal) is Sullivan's wise-cracking, one-eyed partner who dreams of becoming famous and winning over the woman of his dreams. Sullivan's arch rival is the slimy, sneaky Randell, who will do anything to be at the top of the scare list. When Randell tries to beat Sullivan's record, Sullivan finds out and he accidentally lets a little girl out of her room and into the monster world. The monsters think that if they get touched by a human child, then they will die. So after Sullivan breaks the news to Wazowski, it's up to them to try and get the little girl--who Sullivan names Boo--to get back into her room before anybody in the monster world finds out! The computer animation is absolutely brilliant. The storyline is light and humerous and is not full of "dirty toilet jokes" like in the film, "Shrek". John Goodman and Billy Crsytal make the perfect animated pair! The DVD includes hours of extras, such as the hilarious animated short film, "Mike's New Car", and the Oscar-winning animated short film, "For The Birds". There are also hilarious outtakes, filmmaker's audio commentary, never-before-seen deleted scenes, behind the scenes, a tour of Pixar studios, and tons more! A must have to your family DVD library. I highly recommend "Monsters, Inc.". Score:
100/100

Summary: Exceeded expectations
Review: I was told how good this movie was by several people, which usually means the movie doesn't live up to the hype. Oh Contraire monfraire. This movie exceded my expectations. Not only is Monsters, Inc. funny but it is warm and charming as well. You fall in love with Sully almost instantly and your fondness of him grows throughout the movie. Mike is a hoot, voiced perfectly by Billy Crystal. Boo is amazing, how the makers of this movie make you care about a cartoon so much is amazing. I can not say enough good things about this movie, I highly recomend this for people of all ages.

Summary: Monster great movie!
Review: Looks like Pixar did it again. They create a great movie. Though not as good as Shrek or the Toy Story movies it is still a great movie for people of all ages. It takes place in Monstropolis. A city of monsters in another world. The two main charactors Mike and Sually work at a place called Monsters Inc a place that scares children to use there screams as power. A human 3 year old gets let in and the Mike and Sually go thourgh a zany and funny advanture to get her home. This DVD is right from the digital source so the picture is fantastic. The 6 channel doby digital sound is also very good. The extras include outtakes, Mikes new car a new animated short, For the Birds short, and plenty of stuff on how the movie was made. Unlike the last 3 pixar greats Monsters Inc has only one DVD version with everything included. This is a must buy for everyone.

Summary: Fun For The Entire Family
Review: Monsters, Inc. stars Sully (John Goodman) and Mike (Billy Crystal). The two work for Monsters, Inc, a company that produces power by scaring children in their rooms and capturing their screams. However, children are extremely dangerous to the monsters. One touch from a child can kill a monster. Boo, a little girl, manages to sneak through her closet door and into Monsters, Inc unnoticed. She is soon discovered by Mike and Sully, who must find a way to get her back safely in her room while keeping her out of sight of the other monsters, especially Randall (Steve Buscemi), who is Sully's biggest rival. What follows is numerous laughs and close calls as Mike, Sully, and Boo try to outsmart the others. This is a fun movie for adults as well as children. Boo is your typical toddler; curious, funny, and always trying to get into trouble while Mike and Sully take on the role of surrogate parents as they try to keep Boo from the others. The outtakes at the end of the movie are funny as well. Overall, this is a very funny and touching film. The animation and acting are excellent, and the story line will definitely keep both children and adults laughing all the way through.

Summary: The best DVD bargain ever!!
Review: This is perhaps the best DVD set I've ever bought. I was very surprised at how cheap it was for a two disk set! The movie is fabulous and owning it on DVD absolutely rocks. But there is so much more on the disks that makes this worth your while. First, let me say that if you're a techie, don't watch the segment on how they made it until you enjoy the movie one last time. During the short feature where they take you inside Pixar, they go into vivid detail on how they did a lot of the elements of the movie. I was so amazed by this, I found myself watching Sully's fur for a long time during the movie. They also included some of the initial tests they did to work on the interaction of the monsters and their environment. Also on the second disk is a new animated short called "Mike's New Car". It's hilarious. Their are games, a tour of monstropolis, outtakes, and more, making this the ultimate DVD movie experience.
