Summary: Watched two times!
Review: I and my son like all four of their releases (Toy story I & II, Bug's life and this one). Hard to pick just one as my favorite Pixar film but probably I would choose Monster Inc if I am forced. Maybe because of Sulley, the most lovable main character so far (my son's is Buzz lightyear). And especially I loved the 'door chase' scene. It was so good! ...I wish Pixar continues to produce fantastic, lovely films without any compromising. I love Pixar. Thanks.

Summary: Another great animated movie from Pixar for all ages.
Review: Like their previous release, this is a good moive for all ages. There is so much improvement over the computer animation. The facial expression and all the tiny little fur on Scully can be see so clearly. They just flow with the air so naturally. The color is so rich. It is very pleasant to the eye. And of course... the lovely and adorable 'Boo'. At the age of 40, I never knew dat I will like any other doll until 'Boo' came along. What a laugh! Can't wait to get the Dvd of this wonderful moivie. Looking forward to all Pixar animated moives. No doubt about...

Summary: Monsters, Inc. vs. Shrek: The Epic Struggle
Review: Ever since word began to spread about both Shrek and Monsters, Inc., comparisons became an inevitability. Yes, I have seen both films on the big screen, and I have found myself to prefer Monsters, Inc. over Shrek. However, it strikes me as very odd that these two films are in such fierce competition with each other. Pixar has always found a way to come up with winning, original scripts with every film they make, and Monsters, Inc. is no exception. The dialogue is fiercely funny, perhaps even moreso than Shrek, and its light-heartedness makes it far more enjoyable. With every film Pixar makes, the scripts just continue to get better and better, never worsen. However, it is the combination of the beautifully imaginative script and the outstanding voice acting that seperates this film from all others this year. John Goodman plays the loveable Sully, a giant with a giant heart to match, while Billy Crystal really goes over-the-top with his performance as the wiseacre Mike. Both are incredible comedic actors, and I think that their pairing in this film worked extremely well. As the villian, Randall, Steve Buscemi shines. Let's be honest, the man could read a phonebook and keep us enthralled. No, Monsters, Inc. is not without its flaws, and in my opinion it doesn't surpass 1999's amazing and simply breathtaking Toy Story 2. Still, Monsters, Inc. remains a bittersweet and throughly entertaining escape from reality. I hope that it will be able to defeat the tough competition of Shrek at this year's Oscars, and I look forward to purchasing the DVD when it arrives. Five Stars: Jeff says check it out.

Summary: HAHAHA very funny, but not really
Review: My opinion is that the movie is better than Shrek. Shrek just didn't catch my attention. The movie was sort of funny, but not really, the short movie in the beginning called FOR THE BIRDS was very funny. Me and my sister laughed a whole lot. Which wasn't good for me at the time since I had a cough. Sully is a big blue monster that lets a human child (looks cute but weird because she could draw better then she could talk.)in the monster world. Mike is the ugly one eyed green thing and is not funny. Throughout the movie they try to get Boo the girl back to her world only to be hunted down by Randall, a sleek snake like creature that can turn invisible. I'd like to say that Randall is VERY CHARMING. Those feathers on his head make him look cute. He is a VERY good fighter. It was cool how he tried to choke Sully to DEATH. He does not look good in a suit though he may think so. During the door factory chase, he showed mind numbing agility and nimbleness. You know, jumping from door to door. It was cute when he SNEEZED. And what was he doing in the bathroom? Sleeking the feathers on his head back, why?

Summary: Fun!
Review: Leave it to animation studio Pixar to tackle a project like "Monsters, Inc." Pixar has always taken us to places we've never been but have always suspected existed. In "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2", they showed us the secret world of toys that kids have always believed in. In "A Bug's Life", they showed us... the life of a bug. And now, with "Monsters, Inc.", they show us the world of the monsters we always thought were hiding in our closets to scare us. John Goodman is James P. Sullivan ("Sully", as his friends call him), the top scarer at Monsters, Inc. His best friend is Mike Wazowski, voiced by Billy Crystal. Their job at Monsters, Inc. is to scare the living daylights out of children. Oh, you didn't know? Scream energy is what powers Monstropolis, the city they live in. At the time the film takes place, Monstropolis is having a power shortage. "Rolling Blackouts" are to be expected. So of course, the faithful monsters at Monsters, Inc. must scare as much children as possible. But wait... in this film, the monsters are scared of us, too. Whoda thunkit? So if a child just happened to get through the closet doors that separate the monster and human worlds, just how do you think those poor little monsters would be able to handle that? There's more to the plot, but I won't take up any more of your time with silly plot details. I had a blast at "Monsters, Inc." for a good deal of time, and even though it has it's lulls, it certainly is a solid piece of work. This is going to draw a lot of comparison to DreamWork's previous "Shrek", so let's get that out of the way here. First off, the animation. While they're both computer animated, the animation in "Monsters" differs from that in "Shrek" in a few ways. The animation from Pixar is well-rounded, and uses a lot of cooler colors and more colorful tones. Even though "Shrek" was DreamWork's first completely computerized animated feature, it's been apparent in all of their animated flicks that they've gone for the more hardened, realistic look with a more yellowish palette (take a look at "The Prince of Egypt"). Me, I like the Pixar way myself. Take your pick. But in other ways, "Monsters" fails to live up to "Shrek" or its Disney predecessors. Mainly because unlike "Shrek" or the "Toy Story" movies, this won't appeal to all ages. This is one of the few animated movies I can point to that would play better to the adults in the audience than the children. If the kid who was crying in my row is any indication, there's a lot of stuff in "Monsters" that could really scare the little ones, especially when things start happening to Boo (the little girl who found her way into the monster world). But let's not talk about the bad stuff. "Monsters, Inc.", with all of its flaws, is a fantastic film. It starts off in an incredibly fresh way (the opening credits reminded me of an old Disney short, "Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom".) The whole beginning segment pulsates with energy and originality. With Pixar films it always seems the filmmakers had a great time making them, and it shows here. Yes, it does slow down in the middle as the focus becomes more story related, but there were a few jokes that I think went over most people's heads (including one sly pun involving lemon flavor snow cones-- if I were with Mike and Sully, I'd give them a helpful piece of advice- don't eat yellow snow!) However slow the middle may be (and trust me, it's not that slow), the movie picks up with an exhilarating climax involving millions of closet doors. Without a doubt this sequence was put together with the thought of a Disney World ride in mind. This scene is a testament to the abilities of computer animation. It's quite a sight to behold, and it never becomes stale or uninteresting. "Monsters, Inc." is a tremendous accomplishment from Pixar. It's got plenty for most of the family (although the really young ones might want to skip it). Newcomer writer/director Peter Docter can't quite top "Shrek" as computer animated flick of the year (and "Shrek" can't beat "Waking Life" as best overall animated film of 2001). Hopefully though, if we're lucky, he's just getting warmed up.

Summary: For all ages
Review: What a terrific, unexpected, imaginative story!! Did not expect the fun ride I had watching this film. My seven year old loved it as much as my husband and I did. Monsters scare children to capture their screams to use as electricity to run their city?! OK? But then one child, Boo, gets let loose in the monster world and it's a catastrophe that monsters Mike and Sully have to fix, but how? This movie will truly tugs at your heart strings and hit a cord with everyone. And I believe Boo is the true spirit of the film, she portrays the kid in all of us. The DVD is loaded.....the 2nd DVD has more than three hours of extras on it that are well worth it. The extra "Mike's New Car" will have you laughing and laughing and watching it again and again. And if you saw this in the theaters the short "For the Birds" is included to laugh at all over again. This is a keeper all the way!! Every generation can watch this imaginative film and enjoy it.....get your popcorn and your kids or your grandparents or your pets, and get ready to laugh and cry and enjoy the ride!

Summary: Another great movie by PIXAR
Review: Pixar does it again. The people responsible for Toy Story, Toy Story 2 & A Bug's Life. I've enjoyed all off them and Monsters Inc. is no exception. With Celebrity voices like Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Bushemi & Jennifer Tilly. Amazing animation that only Pixar can do. A great story and very funny. This is a must see fun movie for the whole family. This will be a must get on DVD when it comes out. If you like full length animation at all you owe it to yourself to see this movie.

Summary: It's soooo cute....
Review: The best adjective I can use to describe this movie is "heart-warming". The dynamic duo of Billy Crystal and John Goodman really bring life to Mike and Sully on screen. This was a really fun film to watch. It's really funny to see how monsters live a humanlike life and possess human emotions. They work out, go to work, worry about their performance, etc. Monster's Inc. is a company that derives energy for the monster world from the screams of children in the human world. But children nowadays are becoming harder and harder to scare, so there's a real crisis going on in the monster world. The fun begins when a human child (Boo) accidentally follows a monster into the monster world. Monsters think humans are like viruses and are toxic and lethal. But Boo is just too cute, and soon Mike and Sully sort of adopt her and want to bring her safely back home before the evil monsters (who have a plan of their own for Boo) get a hold of her. I think kids and adults will like this film. I think it's definitely a family film. Watch it!
