Summary: A must see

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kids Movie
Review: This is a cute movie. It kept the kids entertained, while I was online. HA! It has similar adult humor as Shrek, but not as funny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Graphics, Good Story keep coming back
Review: This movie was great. Disney and Pixar hit it off again with another great computer animated movie. It's amazing to see how the physical actors are represented in the computer characters. This is a fun story and recommend it for "kids" of all all ages both big and little.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One-eyed willie
Review: What was the director thinking when he put a large, green one-eyed monster as the main character. It made me pop like a thousand boners during the movie. P.S. I'm a guy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: brill film
Review: this was one of the best animated films I have seen in a long time. The animation is excellent and the voices by John Goodman and Billy Crystal are hilarious. The general story is as follows: the monsters scare children in order to collect their screams which they use to power their world (pretty much like electricity) but then a little girl gets loose in the monster world and all hell breaks loose with very amusing results. One of my favourite parts of the movie would be the monster play at the end of the movie entitled "Put that thing back where it came from or so help me". Its a musical. In conclusion, top notch stuff.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great film for children and adults alike
Review: The people at Pixar have a remarkable talent for taking an idea from childhood, turning it into a compelling story, and producing a film that is enjoyable to both children and adults. Oh, and they tend to look fantastic, too. In the latest feature-length film from Pixar, we learn that monsters really do live in our closets. In particular, we get to know Sully (voiced by John Goodman) and Mike (voiced by Billy Crystal) as two monsters who work for a scream-collecting factory called Monsters, Inc.

The premise of the film is that the world of the monsters is powered by the screams of children. So the employees of Monsters, Inc. are responsible for sneaking into the rooms of children while they are sleeping to scare them. The emanating screams are captured into containers where they are refined into the highest quality screams to power everything from the lights to the cars. Because their screams are such a powerful substance, children are considered toxic and dangerous. So trouble ensues when a child follows Sully into the monsters' world.

Although the premise may sound a bit frightening for children, the filmmakers handle the concept well and there are only a few scenes where children may be initially startled. But the film quickly changes moods during these scenes and children will come out laughing.

The vocal talents of John Goodman and Billy Crystal fit their characters well, and the performances of Steve Buscemi (as Randall) and James Coburn (as Henry J. Waternoose III) are also excellent. As the expanded material on the DVD points out often, the animation is definitely ground-breaking as many of the monsters (especially Sully) are rendered gorgeously with fur that flows and bounces with the movement of the characters. This is the first Pixar film that was not directed by John Lasseter (responsible for directing the _Toy Story_ films and _A Bug's Life_, and serves as executive producer for _Monsters, Inc._), but Pete Docter does a great job taking the helm of this Oscar-nominated film (that lost to Shrek -- whatever).

The DVD release includes a second disc which includes a great tour of the production process of the film, such as early story treatments and detailed explanations of why modeling fur is so darn hard. One of the best features of the second disc is the very funny animated short film "For the Birds" which won an Oscar for "Best Animated Short Film," as well as the humorous but slightly disappointing "Mike's New Car."

Like other Pixar films, the story and characters are entertaining and engaging for young viewers. But the film includes character complexity and subtle humor that adults will appreciate as well. While not quite up to the standards of _Toy Story_ or its sequel, _Toy Story 2_, this remains a terrific film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Disney-as always
Review: My 4 year old loves it! Well done, always fun!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Monsters in your room!
Review: Monsters inc is the monster world's scream factory. Screaming kids is their best way of making energy for the monster world.
Top scarer Sulley is the best at this job with the help of his assistant, Mike. Randall, 2nd place scarer, is determend to beat
Sulley to the top. A kid gets invited in their world when Sulley
finds a left over door! How will Sulley & Mike get the kid back
before Randall takes the number 1 place?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good, even on an airplane
Review: I watched this movie on a transatlantic flight and thought I was going to wake everyone up with my laughter.

It's charming, sweet, witty, inventive and everything a family comedy should be. Billy Crystal is especially superb.

Kudos to all from director to the animators.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Movie Rocks!
Review: This movie is so good it's great for little kids and adults who haven't forgotten what it's like to be a kid, in fact I only know one person who didn't like it and she is one of those adults who has forgotten what it's like to be a kid and she only likes to watch movies that are violent and depressing. Anyway this movie is awesome and it totally rocks! I highly recommed it for kids and for adults who can still allow themselves to watch a movie that kids love to watch!
