Summary: Monsters Inc.
Review: Monsters Inc. is a great movie. It is about two monsters who work for monsters inc. The partners are Mike(Billy Chrystal) and Sully(John Goodman). They live in Montropolis in the monster world. The monsters are actually scared of kids, and the monster worlds power source is children's screams. That's what Monsters Inc. is for. They go into kid's bedrooms through their closet doors, and try to scare the children to get screams. Mike and Sully ae best friends, Sully is the top monster for monsters Inc(he got the most screams. When Mike and Sully go into a young lady's house, she follows the monsters to the monster world. It is extremely funny and cute. The CG animation is beautiful. Pixar did a wonderful job in their 4th feature film. This is the first good disney movie in two years. The movie won't scare children, the monsters won't scare your children at all they're cute actually. The parent will love it also. The story is great and not hard to understaand at all. This is a two DVD set though which means it has another disc full of goodies...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Toy Story is so...1970s.
Review: Monsters Inc. and Toy Story both have 1 thing in common: They're animated. TS was acclaimed for how "outstanding" it's "3D rendered grapics" were, but MI makes it look pathetic. Personally, TS did not impress me. But Monsters Inc. DID!

Okay, it looks good, what about the movie? 1 Word: Great, Outstanding, Excellent, Hilarious! Buy it and make sure you get next day air-delivery. You must see it as soon as possible!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST PIXAR FILM YET!
Review: Monster's Inc. is by far the best Pixar film to date. Is is more imaginative than both the "Toy Story" and "Bugs Life" films. The thriving world of Monstropolis is a visual treat filled with interesting characters and amazing sights. The movie has one of the best endings I've ever seen and it almost brought tears to my eyes. The best scene in the whole movies involves the Abominal Snowman and a lemon flavored snowcone. Plus, before the movie, Pixar gives us their latest and best short film "For the Birds." It's absolutely hillarious. Definitely get this. Your whole family will love it!

Summary: Pretty entertaining
Review: First thing, i don't know why an American movie is released on DVD september 17 when in Spain (Europe), it has been released september 4....But that's ok....My son just loves computer animated movies. It took him a couple of times to start liking the movie. It's pretty neat (for computer-made movies i still prefer Shrek and Toy Story 2), entertaining. I am glad i was able to buy it here in Spain where we can listen to a "proper" castillian language (my sons are learning Spanish), but that's not the purpose of this note. I like the movie. Not as much as others, but i DON'T REGRET spending my money in this case. I would've liked a little more "action". Still waiting for a "computer-movie" with the same action featured in the begining of Toy Story 2...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Delightful
Review: A wonderful and delightful fun filled adventure. My kids loved it and so did I. Highly recommended!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Boo is the cutest
Review: I was very excited to see this movie but disappointed when it didn't live up to how funny it looked in the previews. Though I'm sure children will adore this movie. The movie was worth seeing for one thing, Boo the little girl. Every moment she had in the movie was precious and she sounded so darling.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another great DVD package for a Pixar classic
Review: I was sitting there watching "Monsters, Inc." on DVD, the first time I had seen the film, and kept thinking it was a very good but not a great animated film. Then we got to the ending and suddenly I find myself crying. I get weepy over lots of movies, but rarely animated films ("Bambi" and "Beauty and the Beast" begin the exceptions that prove the rule). I think this especially surprised me because I did not think that "Monsters, Inc." was going to be that kind of a film.

The story is about Monsters, Inc., a corporation in the Monster world that sends scarers into the bedroom of human children all around the world to capture their screams, which are used to provide energy. James P. "Sully" Sullivan is the best of the best, and Mike is his assistant. They are going for the all time record when something really, really bad happens: Sully accidentally brings back a little girl from the human world. At this point, wackiness ensues.

The promotion for this film really made it seem like it the main character was Mike Wazowski, the frenetic one-eyed green dude voiced by Billy Crystal. But this film is really about James P. Sullivan, the hairy blue giant with John Goodman's voice. I was sort of disappointed that Crystal was not really stealing each and every scene, sort of like Eddie Murphy did in "Shrek." But this film is clearly Goodman's show (how did they ever avoid giving this man an Emmy for his flawless work on "Roseanne"?), and he shows you what he can do with just his voice.

Any doubts I had about the rating to give this DVD were quickly settled by the second disk. You can read the list above of all the goodies you will find there, but the chief joys are (1) the hilarious "outtakes" Pixar always managed to come up with for their films; (2) the Original Treatment, which tells the earliest storyline about Johnson, the monster who dreams of being a star scarer; (3) an all-new animated short film, "Mike's New Car; (4) "For the Birds," the 2001 Oscar winner for Best Animated Short Film; and (5) a behind the scenes look at Crystal and Goodman recording "If I Didn't Have You." I think you will find that with numbers (1), (3) and (4) you might laugh more than you do while watching the actual movie, especially on (3) and (4). My stomach hurt I was laughing so hard.

So, that's the "Monsters, Inc." DVD in a nutshell. You cry, you laugh. What more do you need to know?
