Summary: Monsters, Inc.
Review: I have always loved Disney movies because it appeals to every age group. Monsters, Inc. was an amazing movie. This movie is about a small society made up of monsters, whose jobs are to scare human beings in order to keep the monster city's electricity running. As long as a human being is scared or screams, the city runs smoothly. Later in the movie, the main character Mike is torn between what is right for the city or right morally. He becomes attached to a little girl named Boo and has to decide whether or not he wants to scare human beings. I took my 3 year old cousin and some of my friends to watch this movie and we both laughed histerically and enjoyed it! Even though me and my friends are in college, we sheded a few tears towards the end of the movie. This movie is such a classic and is so cute! I give it raving reviews!

Summary: Worth the price for the extras
Review: Like the excellent "Toy Story" box set, this DVD is worth the price for the extras alone. A fine film notwithstanding, the DVD extras alone kept me occupied for a couple hours.The two additional short films and a series of "outtakes" are also very funny.

Summary: Great movie!
Review: Pixar and Disney have done it again w/ Monsters, Inc. Storyline, voices, humor, and class make this computer animated film a winner. Kids will enjoy it for the cute characters and obvious humor, while adults will marvel at the subtle humor and inuendo. Be sure to buy the DVD for the outakes and bonus features.

Summary: beh
Review: Sure, monsters inc is very well done animation wise. The first few minutes I was just amazed by the way sully's hair moved, but after that I noticed that the story was boring. Alot of the jokes we've seen 80 times before and I never really cared that much in the first place. I laughed maybe 3 times through the entire two hours, and for me that wasnt enough when this was supposed to be so good, I'm just glad I saw harry potter in the theater instead of this tripe.

Summary: Not even close to Toy Story series
Review: Monsters Inc. does not have the magic of the Toy Story series. The story is long, boring and doesn't have any of the creativity of it's predecessors. Mighty Casey has struck out.

Summary: Monsters Is Scarry - A LIttle....and Funny Too!
Review: MONSTERS, INC. is a movie that when I saw it in the theatre didn't really knock my socks off as I thought it would. Juts a few things short of interesting and for me, not as entertaining as Toy Story or A Bug's Life. (Even Toy Story 2 was a little better than this.) Some standout performances by Billy Crystal (America's Sweethearts, Analyze That) and John Goodman (Emperor's New Groove, What Planet Are You From?)and even Jennifer Tilly (Stuart Little, The Muse) and of course some great gag bits and slapstick humor for a computer generated film. Directed by Peter Doctor (writer of Toy Story 1 & 2) who gives the film a flavor of color and flare. The story is that of the concept that monsters scare you under your bed in and in your closet as a kid and this is how they do it. Very mechanical and very routine. Their job is to collect the screams of the scars and then turn it into power and energy for Monstropolis. There is one fear; the Monsters are more scared of the kids they scare then the kids themselves. Guess what? One gets in the Monster world. I'll let you imagine what happens next. Now the DVD extra's are amazing. There is a very funny NEW short called Mike's New Car, which is short but hysterical. There are games, and Monster training videos and manuals and CDRom extras too. Music videos and a ton of production information on how the film was made and produced. The extras on the DVD are worth it alone. You'll enjoy this one. (9-22-02)

Summary: Does it get any Better then thiS?
Review: I just recieved the Monsters INC DVD the other day and I was so excited to view it the 2nd time. Disney and Pixar did an excellent job with the story and the animation. This is a movie for all ages not just kids.. I'm currently a college student and still found the movie very enjoyable. So if you want to watch a great movie that brings tons of laughs and even a few tears I highly recommend buying Monsters Inc.

***1/2 - FILM
***** - DVD I just bought the DVD, watched it and can't help but sell-all-out on just how well done the film is and just how special the DVD edition was. I had heard mixed reviews from everybody; People who's taste I trust, people who hate movies like this one, and others who can't decide whether they enjoyed it or not; when the movie first came out in theaters. My opinion:
I liked everything about both TOY STORY films, didn't care much for A BUG'S LIFE's story/plot though I still enjoyed the genre of completely computer composed cinema, but as for MONSTERS, INC., I am completely sold on Disney's wizards at PIXAR and permanently at that...they are the one's responsible for everyone else's computer/CGI movie-toons $ucce$$.
SHREK & ICE AGE <--- (which I've yet to see) are feeding off PIXAR's unique style & it's popularity due to critics and audience approval at the box office.
All of them are great to watch and especially interesting to see how they are put together. The time consumation involved is more than most mere mortals dare to bare. The perfection of this new art doesn't seem effortless - in the way that anyone with the CA$H could accomplish. The stories, characters, and overall production is always the foundation but, the quality of it's originality, awe-inspiring jaw dropping finesse & flow keeps all who still have "the child inside" begging for more. Even if it isn't Disney/PIXAR branded, the similair styled films companies know they have a mint and will continue to keep on trying to one-up the other.
Now, if you are a fan of the STAR WARS - Episode 1 DVD's features and mind boggling behind the scenes info & eye candies, MONSTERS, INC. will fill in that void/absense & fanboy NEED until STAR WARS - Episode 2 & SPIDER-MAN come out in November.
Sit back, watch the flick, set your opinions aside until the final scene is through...you'll realize & see the same thing I did. If you don't, you fall into the category of people who hate movies like this one and will be short-changed in the long run.
Watch and enjoy just how SCARY it is to feel like a kid again, seeing something new and original for the very first time redone, redone, & redone again until this film genre is narrowed down to perfection.

Summary: Excellent entertainment for kids
Review: "Monsters Inc" is first-rate family entertainment. This Pixar Studios production is visually stunning and shows off digital computer technology at its finest. Its monsters wouldn't scare the average four-year old, which is what the moviemakers intended. This is sheer fantasy, and delightful fantasy at that. Adults should know that the movie lacks the sophistication of "Shrek", "Antz" or other Pixar works like "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2". In this highly imaginative tale, those monsters who come out of kids' closets at night are actually residents of Monstropolis, where energy is provided by the screams the creatures elicit from unsuspecting children. Times are tough, though, because kids today aren't so easily frightened. The monsters must never actually touch any child because they believe that human beings are deadly poisonous. So, the beasts are actually more frightened of kids than kids are of them. [Who knew?] Much comedy and pandemonium results when a little child called Boo follows one of the monsters, Sully, into Monstropolis. For kids, this is one of the best animated features ever made. For adults, it is painless to sit through and, for the most part, quite entertaining.
