Summary: Better For Adults Than For Kids
Review: Monsters Inc. is the story of a monster named Sully and his sidekick Mike. Sully works for an energy company that uses children's screams to power the entire city of Monsteropolis. However, monsters must be very careful when scaring children because the touch of a child is extremely toxic. Therefore, when a child comes through the closet door porthole into Monsteropolis, Sully and Mike have a big problem on their hands.
I loved this movie because it was funny, had great animation, and was full of suspense. However, it seemed that the movie wasn't nearly as good for children. The adults in the theatre laughed throughout the whole movie, but the children barely laughed at all. The problem is that both the plot and the jokes were on an adult level. I would recommend this for fun-loving adults, but not necessarily for children.

Summary: whoo hoo
Review: If you liked Toy Story 1 and 2, you'll love Monsters Inc. Pixar learned their lesson from A Bugs Life and made sure that the heavy character doesn't overshadow the humor in this remarkable tale of monsters afraid of kids. The Oscar winning animated short in the beginning (For the Birds) is also a must-see!

Summary: SO fun, GREAT to watch, and AMUSING!!!
Review: Monsters Inc. is one of my favorite movies and I enjoyed watching it very much. It is (of course) about a bunch of monsters working in this building called Monsters Inc. where they learn how to scare kids. The four main characters are Sullivan, (the blue monster) Mike, (the one eye green colored monster) Boo, (the girl) and Randell. (The bad monster that can be invisible) Sullivan, who is an expert in scaring kids is competing with Randell, a mean monster who bullies others. When Sullivan meets Boo, Sullivan wants to keep her. Randell and the manager of Monsters Inc. try to get rid of Boo and lots of excitement and adventure starts. Would Sullivan win? Would Randell and the manager get Boo? It is so fun and I think you should get this movie! It's entertaining and hilarious!

Summary: An Instant Classic
Review: I have to say first off I LOVE THIS MOVIE and I can't wait to get it on video.
I went to see it with my sister and I have now developed a complete obsession with animated films.
I would completely recommend this movie to anyone of any age and defy them not to laugh ( I am 19 and my sister 21, and we both laughed unashamedly all the way through).
And the characters are soooo cute.

Summary: Monsterlly Great
Review: Monsters, Inc. is a great movie, and it seems Pixar can do no wrong. They continue their dominance of making good movies and high grossing movies. Unlike their parent company Disney who has faltered lately.Monsters is a great story and concept. Monsters who live in another world that have to scare children to power their city. What a great concept. Sulley (voiced by John Goodman) is the top scarer and the guy who never ceases to train. Mike (voiced by Billy Crystal) who is assistant and can't seem to keep up with the office work, but has a great knack for making jokes and training Sulley. Sulley though creates a problem as he sneaks into a door one day, and accidentally brings a child out. That child name is Boo. And Boo is the heartstring to this movie. She is scared of Randall who has an evil plot to get screams out of Boo. Sulley discovers that plot and reveals it. Monsters is a great movie that explores great themes as well: friendship, laughter, and fear is easy to overcome. The animation is grand scale, and the laughs are always there. The emotional aspect is a great turn for Pixar and shows that these guys have heart as well as the old funny bone. Get this when it comes out. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Does everything it's supposed to
Review: Yes, the special effects are great. Pixar takes basically the same technology as "Toy Story II", probably added some improvements, and brings us another visual delight. This one should be a big success on video, as kids are going to love it in their libraries. But of course, it wouldn't mean beans if there were not a good story. This one creates a brand new world for us. I wasn't aware of this but it seems that the monsters that hide in our closets have a back exit that leads into their own world. In this world, scaring kids is just another day at work, and they punch a clock in the same manner that we do. They are not bad monsters for scaring us, it's just what they do. So everything is going fine until an actual kid get's into the monsters' world and gums everything up. Turns out the monsters, at least our leading monsters, are really good guys who just scare kids as a job. When they encounter the child, who THEIR world considers the monsters, a lot of prejudice has to be overcome. But once they accept they child, protective instincts take over, and they try to put everything back in it's place. This, of course, entails all kinds of difficulties, which entertain us enough to make this one a keeper.

Summary: Monsters Rule
Review: This was the first movie I took my one year old to see in the movies and she really loved it. It kept her attention for almost the entire movie and it made her laugh. She absolutely loved baby boo and scully. Disney and Pixar never seem to let me down. I can't wait to see how they make her smile next time.

Summary: Pixar hits another HILARIOUS HOME RUN!
Review: Summary: Great movie for kids and adults with lovable characters and side splitting laughter. Great Pixar quality animation, great and imaginative script, great acting voices (Billy Crystal as Mike, John Goodman as Sully) that really fit their parts, high quality comedy (some slapstick) great directing, great music. Review: This hilarious movie delivers side-splitting laughter! Everything fits together and is just great! Should be animated movie of the year! Story: Monsters work for a Corporation (Monsters, Inc.) That supplies energy for their city, Monsteropolis, by capturing the screams (scream energy) of children and monsters compete for the best screams with blue-furred cuddly Sully (Goodman) leading the competition. Somehow, a charming infant sneaks into Monsteropolis and hooks onto Sully; and whoever gets caught with her will get "cleaned" by the "authorities" - not a good thing! This throws Sully and one-eyed Mike into a panic as they stumble against all odds to send the child back without getting caught. Scare Factor: While the Monsters may be afraid of the children, there is no need for your kids to be afraid of them. The movie seems pretty harmless and young children seem to have no problem with the movie concept and scenes.

Summary: The eternal struggle... Shrek Vs. Monster's Inc.
Review: Two fabulous CG films were released in the year 2001. The first is the hugely popular (and brilliant) 'Shrek' which took the world by storm. The other was 'Monster's Inc. which many judged the film by its ad and immediately thought it would be another sappy Disney flick... how wrong they were! It can be seen that the Disney evolution of creating more 'Adult based' cartoon's started with 'The Emperor's new groove' in 2000, and is continued with 'Monster's Inc.' which has the ability to entertain the masses. Children love it for the colorful character's whilst a sophisticated adult viewer can also enjoy he film on another level. The film follows the misadventures of Sulley and Mike, two best of friends who work for the Monstropolis energy concern; namely Monster's Inc. The company gets the city's energy from the screams of young children. But when a young child (Boo) stumbles into the monster's world, chaos ensues as Mike and Sulley find it their job to save Boo from the evil Randall as well as point out that children aren't in fact deadly to monsters. The strict use of a linear narrative makes the film a tad predictable in parts... but who cares? It is essentially a children's film but as mentioned above it is also appropriate for an adult audience... why? Because of the brilliance in casting. Billy Crystal as Mike, John Goodman as Sulley and Steve Bushemi as Randall, each bring something special to the film. Crystal and Goodman give off the perfect 'buddy film' milieu. It is very amusing to look at the film as an adventure of Goodman and Crystal rather than two characters that sound like them. Disney has gained a reputation for slinging out some amazing DVD's that are so packed with features it's almost like having three discs worth of stuff. This in course refers to 'The Emperor's new groove', the two disc 'Snow white and the seven dwarfs' and the recent 'Atlantis'. One thing can be sure... that the 'Monster Inc.' will be jammed pack, and I can't wait for it. Pixar has again created a brilliant children's film that has a sort of edge that the others perhaps lacked. The moments in 'Shrek' that may be seen as 'Not suitable for children' (no matter how hilarious they are) aren't in 'Monster's Inc.' but a film is created that is utterly entertaining. So what is better 'Shrek' or 'Monster's Inc.' it cannot be determined. They are by no means the same film, while 'Shrek' subverts the linear fairy tale style, 'Monster's Inc.' makes a fabulous film through alluding to the genre. So in summation both films are fabulous... and each well worth seeing.
