Summary: Glad that Disney got one right...
Review: As the parent of three children under the age of 8, I get dragged (usually kicking and screaming) to any of the new kid's movies. This was one that I initially dreaded going to in the theaters because the title sounded just too kiddy for me. In the end, I was wrong. Good quality kids flick with a minimum of adult-aimed-hope-it-goes-over-the-kid's-heads humor. The snow cone bit was as close as it came. If the Dreamworks crowd had put it together, I can guarantee that there would have been multiple not so subtle references to the side kick's mono-ocular state of being.From the minute we walked out of the theater we knew that this was a DVD that would be high on the wish list. We have it and I can assure you that it did not disappoint. All aspects of the film were outstanding and actually better than our theater experience (which was in a little 150 seat box of a theater in Turkey with projection and sound equipment just barely out of the 50's...) The only complaint was that the outtakes that appeared during the end credits in the movie were moved to a second DVD. Keeps the kids entertained and it doesn't drive us crazy. Good DVD.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: This movie was absolutely hilarious and incredibly cute. I barely own any movies, but I highly recommend this one. The concept was great and executed far better than I would have thought. This is a movie that children and adults can love. The characters were multi-dimensional. I enjoyed every detail because unlike some children's films in which the characters exist only to make you laugh, these characters had entire personalities. The voices, inflections, and animation all combined to create very realistic characters. I just can't express enough how funny (and sweet) this movie is. All the extra scenes make the movie even better. I especially loved the company play at the end of the movie. It was so hilarious and made the movie even funnier. My husband and I are always singing things from "the play" (it's a musical). Even as I am writing this review I can't stop laughing (just thinking about it).

Summary: Great movie, even after watching it 32 times!

Summary: A lot of fun
Review: "Monsters, Inc." is set in a world looking not unlike our own, only populated by monsters. Otherwise, and besides the technology that allows its denizens to travel into our world through our closets, "Monstropolis" looks pretty much like home. Its people have the same insecurities - fear of the unknown; also everybody is sensitive about an energy crisis, with the dwindling screams of children providing the sole power source for the city. To secure as much of the scarce energy for Monstropolis (today's children just don't provide screams as easily as in years gone by), Monsters, Inc sends its workers into the bedrooms of children throughout our world in the night's darkest hours collecting the screams needed to keep the city working. In an unexpected switch, the monsters prove terrified of children, incorrectly believing them to be the most toxic creatures in the universe. Among the monsters, Sully (voiced by John Goodman) is the champ. Backed-up by the otherwise hapless Mike Wyzofski (Billy Crystal), Sully barely manages to hold the lead against a slimy and ambitious chameleon named Randall Boggs and voiced by Steve Buscemi. Among the denizens of Monstropolis, the brave workers of "Monsters, Inc." are heroes, up there with the astronauts (their entrance on the factory floor sends up a similar scene from "The Right Stuff" in which the Mercury astronauts appear in their flightsuits for the press for the first time). Those monsters who can't make the cut are banished to our world, condemned to making brief cameos on episodes of "Unsolved Mysteries". Apparently trying to up his quota, Randall works off-hours. When one of his victims, an adorable 2 year old girl escapes into the monster world and is discovered by Sully, the company is thrown into a crisis. Learning that the child (whom they call "Boo"isn't as dangerous as they'd been led to believe, Sully and Mike protect her from Randall and try to find her door from among the thousands kept in Monsters, inc.'s warehouse, all the time dodging Randall, the insidious stormtroopers of the CDA and a shadowy conspiracy that has plans of its own for Boo. This was a great film, though the characters are pretty one-note (they're all monsters, but their blue-collar sensitivities are very human; Sully is the hero with Mike as the comic relief; Billy Crystal doesn't get as much mileage from "Mike" as Tom Hanks or Tim Allen got from Woody and Buzz in the Toy Story movies), but the plot is an ingenious re-working of childhood neuroses (with cowardly monsters who live off our screams replacing toys who live for playing.) Like other Pixar flicks, even the tape comes with extras - two shorts, one of them being based on "Monsters, Inc." characters, plus "outtakes" and even shots from a musical version of "Monsters, Inc" acted and sung by the company's employees. A lot of fun, without ever being all that scary or sappy. There's even a high-speed sequence involving Mike, Sully and Boo searching for Boo's door while being chased by Randall, that's bound to show up in Disney as a theme ride.

Summary: Pixar Magic
Review: Everything Pixar does is cutting edge. This is a giant step forward in animation (sp). There are no other contenders in the market place. Hopefully Disney will continue to co-venture with Pixar to bring the best to the screen. Surely Disney must know these works are far superior to anything they have independently produced in years.

Summary: Disney fails again
Review: Disney is known for putting out bad movies, but this is hands down the worst movie ever released by Disney. The monsters didn't scare me at all and everything was so unrealistic. I thought monsters were scary? Instead of achieving the horror of a good monster movie we receive the buffonery of some teen fad movie.

Summary: Good movie for anyone.
Review: This is a great movie. It's part of my DVD collection. Billy Crystal is hilarious as always.

Baird, Rhett Resse and Jonathan Roberts (The Hunchback of Notre Dame, James and the Giant Peach, The Lion King). From the Original Story by Jill Culton, Pete Docter, Ralph Eggleston & Jeff Pigdeon.
