Summary: MONSTER HIT
Review: I was unsure when purchasing this as to whether it was going to be too childish, but I can't seem to stop watching it. I love the characters, the story line, but most of all the attention to detail in animation. This is an instant classic. But I'm sure you already know that !

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love those Pixar flicks!
Review: Join Sully and Mike in a madcap adventure of what happens on the OTHER side of the closet door. Better than Little Monsters by far, and this one is actually kid-friendly (unlike some other animated flicks I could mention).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hurray for Monsters
Review: It's about time the truth about monsters is revealed. Now children young and old can sleep at night. This is the best, most endearing movie I have seen in years. I bought it so I can watch it with all my children, grandchildren, nieces nephews and friends. I laugh and cry. I cheer and cringe. The great thing about the movie is the way they have captured the voice of Boo.
I have watched many a child become transformed by her confidence and childlike belief in good. They start out being afraid of the monsters and end up cheering for them. Thank you for this video.

Summary: Randall's my favourite
Review: Disney/Pixar does it again! They have made yet another good family film. With plenty of loveable characters and a good story to back it up, it deserves a place in your movie collection. You're entire family will enjoy this film. Cartoons aren't only for children anymore.

Summary: Absolutely awesome
Review: This DVD has to be one of the most incredible animated kids movies I have ever seen. The kids can watch it over and over without wearing it out, and I really enjoyed the bonus features on the second disc. There is so much on there that it takes quite a while to get through it, but definitely worth watching.
For those who are worried about the 'scary' factor: It is not a scary movie at all. My twin 4-year-olds describe the monsters as being 'cute'. What is funny about the movie is that the monsters are afraid of kids than the kids are of the monsters. The story has quickly become the household favorite, and I admit that I thoroughly enjoyed it as an adult!
If you already have the VHS and are considering the DVD, I can tell you that it is a must-buy. You get all the bonus footage that is not on the tape, plus the colors/detail is amazing. It almost feels as if you are there on the set, even though it is animated. Sully is the most impressive of all with the realistic movement of each hair, but each character is unique and fun to watch. You can choose between widescreen and full screen, so you don't have to worry about buying the wrong DVD format.
Overall, it was entertaining and a joy to watch. My entire family wholeheartedly recommends Monsters, Inc.

Summary: "Come on! We've gotta find another door!"
Review: Monsters, Inc. is another triumph of computer animation from the wizards at Pixar. As with the Toy Story series, the plot is taken from a "what if?" scenario in a child's imagination. What if the monsters (whom everybody knows dwell in childrens' closets and under their beds) in fact live in a parallel world to ours?

Monstropolis City is powered by energy garnered from children's screams, which are collected by the workers at Monsters, Incorporated. James P. Sullivan and his sarcastic assistant Mike are Monster, Inc.'s top scarers, but when Sulley inadvertently lets a small girl into the monster world things start to go awry. Monsters believe that human children are highly toxic, and in their efforts to put little Boo back where she came from, they uncover a fellow worker's sinister plan to revolutionise the scream-collection industry.

One of the few down sides of the film is that at times it is just a little too cute, and Sulley definitely works best as a strong and straight-forward good-guy, as opposed to his attempts to be a moraliser and emotion-analyst. His computer-generated fur though is incredible. Over one million hairs have been animated to move realistically in response to anything from a light breeze to a Himalayan snowstorm.

The concept of a factory that has an exact replica of every child's closet door, and that of monsters living in a world not all that dissimilar to ours is certainly clever; but it is also the little details - such as a "Grossery Store" and "odorant" (rather than deodorant) - which really make the movie. Although the ending is a trifle schmaltzy, this is a film that kids will love, and adults won't mind watching again and again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An INSTANT Classic, clever, funny and entertaining
Review: Fun movie! Everyone in my family loves it. It sounds great with surround sound also. When the monster sneezes and flames burst out it sounds SO real you think you'll get burned! Billy Crystal is funny as always and BOO is ADORABLE! Get this one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good movie
Review: Even though it is a cartoon, Adults like it too. My 2 1/2 year old loves it so we have seen it several times. The movie contains a lot of things you do not catch at first. Ex. yellow snow it's lemon flavor. It's a fun movie the grand parents also liked it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Monsters Inc
Review: Monsters Inc is another great hit from the Disney/Pixar series! Monstaers Inc is about the world of Monsters in our closets and why they come out. In the movie, it's established that a scream will give power and energy, that same power and energy is needed to fuel the city of the Monsters. So like factory clock work, the Monsters go in every morning (night for us humans) and scare people to get that scream.

Sully (John Goodman) is the #1 Scarer and his partner Mike (Billy Crystal) is there at his side making sure he catches each scream. Their biggest competition for the #1 slot is Randall (Steve Buscemi). After a night's work, Mike decides to go home and Sully stay behind making sure his paperwork is done and that's when Sully finds Randall cheating and helping his numbers by doing unauthorized scares! Realizing this Sully goes to investigate and finds out that by accident, a little girl has broken into the Monster world! It's up to Sully and Mike to hide her from the authorities and get her home dafely. It's a animaterd comedy adventure that keeps you rolling and brings you to tears.

I have to admit, I'm not much of a Disney fan anymore ever since the power days of Disney in the late 80's with the Little Mermaid to 1994's The Lion King, but NOW with these great computer animated full features, I can safely say that I can't wait for Disney to do more of these because there are enjoyable for all ages.

Plus the bonus DVD has a lot of great extras in it like the short feature "Mike's New Car", outtakes and other great features. This is a movie that I'd suggest any family to pop in and have a family movie night. And of course if you're looking for more great Disney/Pixar films, check out TOY STORY and TOY STORY 2 and A BUG'S LIFE. You'll be greatly satisfied. Enjoy!
