Summary: We scare because we care!
Review: An energy crisis in Monstropolis means that the scarers at Monsters Inc. whose daily job it is to scare children from their closets have to work harder to provide the city with energy. As an ad for Monsters Inc. says, "We scare because we care."The concept is imaginative and brilliant--each assistant works the machinery to put the door in place. The door is aligned with the closet door of a sleeping kid. The monster enters, scares the kid, filling a yellow energy cannister. John "Sully" Sullivan, a giant blue and purple furred ursine monster, and his assistant/pal Mike Wazowski, a fast-talking, wisecracking small green ball with a large eye, horns, and toothy smile, are the top scarer team. Right behind him is Randall, a nasty purple lizard with chameleonic talents who hates Sully and wants nothing more than to topple the friendly and loyally dependable giant from the top. CEO James Watternoose, a gray multiocular creature with crustacean body, is concerned of the crisis and difficulties. Kids are depersonalized with violence and horror, Georgie, a scarer, accidentally has a kid's sock on him and has to be shaved and decontaminated, temporarily putting the Scare Floor out of action, and new scarer recruits aren't cutting it. Sully goes back to the scare floor to retrieve some paperwork so Mike can go on a date. He sees a door still in place and lo and behold, encounters a little girl. To say he panics is an understatement. Monstropolis soon goes into crisis mode, complete with yellow-suited members of the Child Detection Agency. Seems that the running myth here is that children are toxic. "A single touch can kill you." Yet Sully realizes that maybe Boo, (the little girl) might be safe to touch, and he becomes attached to her, to the chagrin of Mike. The simple solution would be to find her door and return her, which it is, but that would end the movie too quickly. The key thing though is that throughout it all, all the monsters are anthropomorphs--they have basic human characteristics. If I close my eyes and just listen to the dialogue, I'd imagine a slapstick comedy. Even Roz, the raspy-voiced slug-like matron of accounting with pence-nez and a quiff of white hair, who's forever reminding Mike to turn in his paperwork, is human-like. Mike Wazowski was tailor-made for Billy Crystal what with his fast-talker/charmer personality. Most of the triumphant dialogue is his to chew through. Ditto for Steve Buscemi, whose vocal talents exudes wonders as the slimy Randall. John Goodman's Sully is the most tender-hearted and most human character. The scenes when he faints four times in a row is funny. But other monsters who have a few lines are merely stunning even in their brief appearance. Check out the slug janitor who gives a satisfied nod at cleaning a spot on the floor. He departs leaving a trail of slime behind him. Influences include the 1970's energy crisis, Mike's accent and schtick, which recalls the 1940's, jazz music from the 1940's, the Abominable Snowman, the Right Stuff style entrance of the scarers, The Invisible Man, the CIA, SWAT Teams, Medusa (Celia's hair), Star Wars (the filtered voice of the CDA members modelled after Imperial stormtroopers), and the opening scene of Star Trek II. Oh yes. The opening For The Birds short feature involving a bunch of parochial sparrows and a large goony-bird on a telephone wire is just as enjoyable. And the Mike's New Car feature shown right after the credits has Mike having trouble with his six-wheel drive. And the bloopers segment shows that a certain monster does have a sense of humor after all. Monsters Inc. is not only the most creative animated films I've seen since Twice Upon A Time, but the funniest. It's one movie I actually went to see twice at the theatres, and I don't do that often. Rating: Five eyes, suited for people with however many arms or legs.

Summary: A Very Warm and Highly Entertaining "Monsters" Delight...
Review: MONSTERS INC. is a thoroughly enjoyable and highly delightful movie about the world of monsters. You will laugh and you will "awww" when you watch this movie. It's a great cinematic picture from Disney/Pixar, and the animation is breathtaking. The premise is cute: in the world of Monstropolis, the inhabitants are all monsters whose job everyday is to scare all the world's children to power their city, which is quite charming. We focus in on two particular monsters: Sully (voiced by John Goodman) and his pal Mike (voiced by Billy Crystal). Sully is trying to maintain his status as the #1 scarer of all in Monstropolis. But when a young sweet little girl crawls her way through her door into the world of Monstropolis, it's up to Mikey and Sully to get her back before everyone sees her and causes widespread panic, as humans are thought of as "toxic" in the world of Monstropolis. You will love this charming tale, which will make a wonderful holiday movie, or if you're just in the mood for laughs and maybe even funny scares, you will surely love MONSTERS, INC. A highly delightful and very entertaining animated film indeed!

Summary: A Great film on a excellent DVD.
Review: The Movie: Latest film from Pixar is about the world of Monsters and how they scare kids so they can use their screams as energy but when a bumbling pair named " Mike" and "Sully" accidently bring a human child into their world they cause disaster, only the both of them can bring the child back to her place. A very entertaining, funny, and engaging animated feature with realistic looking CGI and a great companion film with "Shrek". The DVD: Perfection! has great sound and picture including tons of extras that will keep you busy for hours, so if your a DVD owner then buy this DVD cause this DVD is a experience for your player.

Summary: Good, but not as good as Toy Story!!
Review: This was a very entertaining movie for people of all ages! It had a lot of laughs! And, of course, the animation was superb!! But it didn't quite compare to Toy Story! It seems to drag in some parts! The DVD extras definitely make up for that though!! A "must-have" DVD for everyone's collection!!

Summary: They Scare Because They Care and do it with 1,000 Laughs
Review: Even if you aren't able to watch the DVD edition of Monsters, Inc, the VHS version is still laced with a few extras to enjoy at the beginning and the end of the film.
"For The Birds", the Academy Award Pixar short winner plays first, a wonderfully modest computer animation of little birds getting their just deserts when crossing power with a bigger bird while perched on a telephone wire. It is continuously the most hilarious 5-minute story you'll ever watch. We are also indulged to a small clip of Pixar's new movie "Finding Nemo" (coming to theaters in 2003), detailing the life of a young fish stolen from his coral reef home and the search his timid father must undergo to find him. Next is the movie Monsters, Inc. the magnificent comedy that can be enjoyed by ANY age group. I am endlessly amazed just how clever the people at Pixar are, no detail is overlooked and the film flows with such energy and intellect the story is essentially believable. While the credits roll, we are treated to the bloopers that were later added to the theatrical release. A few include James stumbling up while entering the scare floor, Roz popping up in random places and your average character accidents like messing up lines. After the outtakes, Pixar ingeniously created the cast to perform, "Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me!" the play Mike and Sulley claimed they were rehearsing during the movie to cover up an argument (returning Boo to the human world), which duplicates the entire film's plotline into a musical rendition. After the film, the animated short "Mike's New Car" is included, which has Mike showing Sulley his new 6-wheel drive vehicle that completely explodes with various mechanical problems. Not as funny as the movie itself or "For the Birds" in my opinion, yet still a delight. Overall, everything about the tape is just superb, I highly recommend adding it to your Disney/Pixar collection.

Summary: MY TODDLER WILL SIT STILL AND WATCH THIS WHOLE MOVIE
Review: this is an amazing movie. my two year old watches it,in its
entirety, while sitting quietly, eyes glued to the set. then when it's over she wants to watch it again. not only can it hold her attention, it is actually a movie i don't mind her watching. it's clean, fun, and not scary for kids. and my husband and i like it almost as much as she does, which is important, since we'll probably see it about 80 times.

Summary: I LOVE Boo
Review: Boo makes the whole movie tick. The concept is soo cute its crazy. Its like your parent's always told you when you were afraid of animals when you were little. "Don't worry its more afraid of you than you are of it." Thats the case in this movie. The Monsters are TERRIFIED of the children. The monsters go to work everyday at the scare factory, they call up closet doors by this crazy machine that allows them to use real doors that open from the factory to the child's bedroom. The monsters go into the kids rooms, and attempt to scare them to collect their screams for energy. They teach the monstors to always leave the doors closed because nothing is more toxic than a child. And then the inevitable happens, and that's the set up for the movie. Once Boo arrives on the scene, the monster's whole world is turned upside down. Boo is wonderful, adorable and lovable. She steals every scene and totally makes the movie. As this is a Disney movie, there's something in it for the whole family, jokes all around. The voices are great (Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buschemi and Jennifer Tilly). The animation is fabulous, each individual hair on Sully's body moves as the air around him moves. The story line is classic and entertaining. Its a must have for all, buy it today and you won't regret it. This movie teaches kids that there's nothing scary about monsters, they are just as silly as we are. The moral of the story...Laughter is more powerful than fear any day!! Enjoy.

Summary: A Must Have
Review: Without a doubt one of the absolute best Disney movies ever released. Plus, they have gotten on board about releasing juiced-up DVDs.

Summary: Funny, touching, well-done
Review: This movie really has no weak points. The argument could be made that it has no really strong points, but I don't see that. To be honest, I enjoyed every scene in this movie, from beginning to end. The toddler's a cutie-pit and the Goodman/Crystal combination really throws off sparks. A great kids movie. Not necessarily a masterpiece of a movie, but if you want to entertain children for a while, pick this one up.
