Summary: Great movie with funny short
Review: I thought this movie was really great! Great animation, great storyline, great voices. Heartwarming tale of friends. And, seeing this in the theater, the short before the film (also included on the DVD) was worth the price of admission itself! Really funny.

Summary: Energized by Screams
Review: The two monsters James P. Sullivan and Mike Wazowski work at Monsters, Inc., a company that generates energy by collecting screams from children. However, children are getting harder to scare due to social influences from media and Monsters, Inc. is struggling to produce power for the city. One evening when James stays to finish up some paper work he finds out that someone is working at an unauthorized time, and a child is accidentally sneaking into the monster world. This is extremely dangerous, because the monsters have been socialized to believe that a child's touch is as lethal as the ebola virus. Monsters, Inc. is an entertaining film that teaches morals concerning parenting, greed, fear, and much more and will have the audience laughing hysterically.

Summary: Very entertaining
Review: While I thought this movie was very intertaining, I couldn't help but want to compare it to Shrek. Whether that was a fair expectation or not, I don't know, but I give both movies a 5, even though I'd pick Shrek as the better of the two.
My 18 month old daughter was maybe a bit nervous with the opening scene, but that soon ended as this movie certainly isn't frightening, but instead is humorous and lots of fun to watch.The computer has come a long way and the animation in this movie is beyond great, it represents what I think computer generated movies should be. If movie makers try and take computer generation along the route that Final Fantasy took, then eventually we'll have computer generated movies that look like live action movies, what would be the point? I think the way these "monsters" were made to look like and take on human characterists was fabulous, especially since they didn't look human at all. The little girl in the film was very well done and her interaction with the monsters was handled expertly. I didn't bother to rent this one, I bought it right away. I know we'll enjoy it for a long time. A strong recommendation.

Summary: Even funnier and cuter then Shrek!
Review: Monsters, Inc is great, the ultimate feel good movie that should make the most grouchy adult who usually hates these kind of movies crack a smile and give out a good hearty laugh and if it doesn't, well then there is just no hope for that grouch. Monster's, Inc is so funny and so adorable and very clever, it has some wonderful characters, Sulley, Boo, Mike and Mike's girlfriend Celia are just a few of the the wonderful characters, but I especially liked Sulley and Boo, Sulley was perfectly voiced by John Goodman and the animation was great, I especially loved Sulley's eyes and also how it looked like his fur was blowing in the wind, Boo was adorable and a total delight. Mike voiced by Billy Crystal was also a good character and I liked Celia voiced by Jennifer Tilly and I also liked that character's snake hair. The Monster's, Inc DVD is amazing, the best DVD I have ever seen so far, great sound, great picture quality, etc! I also liked the movie Shrek but I have to say that Monster's, Inc is better, I just enjoyed it more than Shrek which is also a 5 star movie and I very highly recommend this Monster's Inc DVD.

Summary: Monsters, Inc.
Review: I really enjoyed this Disney movie. Others I have thought were less than funny, somewhat boring, or what have you; but this movie kept me laughing throughout its entirety. Mike, the little green ball, particularly amused me. And the humor was not tainted by the subtle innuendos that are occasionally slipped into movies like Shrek. And check out the outtakes and the additional short films. Quite clever. *laughs*

Summary: Disney?Pixar Does it Again!

Summary: Smart and Funny Monsters, But Just A Little Lagging Somehow
Review: Monsters Inc. perhaps only falls in comparison with its older bros. and first cousins. Visual references to the Star Wars cantina scene, which were made in Antz and Bugs Life, are looking de rigeur about now (i.e. perhaps that scene needs to be laid to rest for a few sequels). While the animation is, of course, superb on all levels, one expects nothing less from the creators of Toy Story and Toy Story 2. Were this the first film, wild accolades of unmitigated originality would be bestowed. Nevertheless this film contains ingredients in abundance that are great from film to film. ... one indelible element of films across genres, including animation is an indelible and unmatchable chemistry between its two co-stars. In this case we have the highly unlikely pairing of goal-oriented, impeccably named Mike (Billy Crystal, in the role of a self-centered but ultimately sweet manager/agent of sorts, not unlike the role he played in America's Sweethearts). His character's job here is to keep doors (to children's bedrooms) coming for the monster (Goodman) he keeps company gears rolling smoothly for. One fairly minor, but distinguishable problems, is that his character's job isn't quite defined enough to keep me from ending my sentences on prepositions. .... But what's there is still great stuff. One barely distinguishable aspect of one scene early on, where Mike and Cat (that's what I call the John Goodman character because that's what the child who becomes their charge calls him) are walking to work. It's obviously a fall day since the leaves are brown. But I could tell there was a mild breeze, as I could detect a slight rustling in both the leaves of the potted plants that adorned the apartments and the trees that lined the median islands of the suburbs of Monstroplis. I looked for stillness, variations in wind direction, shadow variance and found nothing. I knew my viewing pleasure was in the hands of professionals. Of course I did miss some of the finer details like character development and dialogue. But in the case of ..., this film, ..., these films reward multiple viewings not only on big screen but video/DVD because each scene is packed with visual and written references to great films and brilliant one-off gags that might otherwise be missed. One line of dialogue I caught along the autumn walk-to-work scene I did manage to catch referenced "lunching at Harryhausen" The Harryhausen reference is to Ray Harryhausen, the brilliant animator who perfected both stop motion animation and claymation. .... Of course Monsters Inc., ..., and all the other aforementioned contain numerous visual and written references to (here's the short list) the Dirty Dozen, The Great Escape, Star Wars (Episodes 4 and 5 in particular), Escape From Alcatraz, as well as the depth of field imminently displayed in the moving package scenes of John Frankenheimer when he shows groups of characters in constant motivational tension against one another or an intended goal. I realize it's a stretch, but I felt the same character of tension in watching the moving packages in Toy Story 2, the moving suspended doors in Monsters Inc., and watching individual scenes of De Niro, Sean Hayes in Ronin shot in individual scenes together in angular depth of field opposition, a visual way of revealing that each character had their own conflicting motives for retrieving, well, whatever it was. It's not that Ronin or even the career of John Frankenheimer was some direct influence, but it's more a matter of emphasizing that here are a small group of directors from obviously the same highly expert visual school, the one where each frame isn't complacently pretty or complacent ... wow, but sublime and subtle in the ways each scene can illuminate character, motivation etc. You can experience every emotion in this film -- and believe me you will run the gamut, in the secure knowledge that every turn is guided by experts. ... ...

Summary: Cute movie...
Review: This movie gets me everytime. I just love the characters, and I love the whole plot. Every kid knows the feeling of something else lurking in their closet. But none of us ever imagined a world quite like this, where monsters are friendly and scare kids for a job!
Billy Crystal and John Goodman make a wonderful team, and their personalities matched their respective characters perfectly. I haven't gotten tired of this movie after watching it several times, and I can't wait for the next Pixar movie.
