Summary: Even Better on DVD
Review: After seeing the movie in the theaters, we knew we'd be buying this one for home. With an advance copy of this DVD in hand, I became a hero with my kids this week. My daughters and I found ourselves laughing out loud at the exclusive segment "Mike's New Car," and at the familiar humor of "For the Birds," (the short Academy Award winning piece that preceded the movie in theaters). But there's more than that. You have the chance to explore Monstropolis from a human or monster eye view. You'll find games and more. This 2-disc edition is well worth it."Monsters, Inc." is a great family film. It looks great, sounds great, and tells a good story. The scenes are full of life and color and imagination. My kids loved every minute of it. By taking us into the world of monsters who are trained to scare children, Pixar somehow teaches children not to be afraid. They demystify the terror of the dark closet, while never forgetting to throw in chuckles for the parents in the audience. When the monsters' world is turned upside down by the unexpected intrusion of a human child, hysteria breaks loose, and everyone's bound to learn something by the end--with heartwarming and humorous moments galore. This is one of my favorite animated films ever, and it get's even better with the release of this packed disc.

Summary: awesone movie for kids and adults.
Review: Monsters Inc. has done the nearly impossible--it has lived up to it's hype! I was all set to be let down (as I frankly was with Shrek) but this movie delivered in a big way. Not only is the story very well developed and imaginative, the technical aspects of this movie are supurb. You can actually see the fur moving on the monsters as they move-as if the air around them was disturbing it. Sully-the big furry blue monster-is the wonderfully lovable "scarer" who must sneak out of childrens' closets at night to capture their screams-thus powering Monsteropolis. Mike-his trusty assistant/best friend/roommate is hilarious to both adults and children alike. Boo, the 2 year old girl that Sully accidently brings back to the Monster world with him is the most likable, spunky kid I have seen on screen in a long while. This movie managed to bring tears to my eyes without being syrupy sweet. It reminds me alot of Toy Story in that it seems to have been written by adults who never really lost their sense of childlike wonder at the world. After all, didn't we all used to think that our toys came to life when no one was around and that monsters lived in our closets??

Summary: It's a scream
Review: The best films, regardless if they're for kids or adults, all have the same thing in common--great storytelling, characterizations and imaginative direction. Pixar's Monsters, Inc. has all three in spades. From the film's satirical opening m inutes (with its parody of commericals and corporate America)to its last suspense filled frames, Monsters, Inc. packs humor and heart into a fun filled movie. Director Pete Doctor has crafted a film that entertains whether watched for the first time for the tenth. John Goodman's performance as Sully and Billy Crystal's performance as Mike demonstrate that not all the best acting is found in serious high minded films. Both give comedic performances that rival the best live action work each has done. What's particularly memorable about the film is the imaginative voice casting. Without the right performer, the best animation won't reach an audience. Monsters, Inc. manages to do both exceptionally well. The opening titles (with their witty reference to the old Gerald McBong McBong cartoons)can't even begin to prepare you for the fun that follows. The extras on this 2 DVD set are particularly fun. The animated short about Mike's new car is a blast (it's only found on the video version) and the inside look at Pixar shows us not only who comes up with these nutty ideas but how they give birth to them as well. There's also a section that shows viewers where all the inside jokes are (although I have the sneaking suspicion that there are still a few gems hidden in there somewhere). The Boo game is fun for little ones and the DVD-Rom features are a nice addition as well. The digital picture transfer is spectacular. The widescreen and standard screen formats are both available on the same disc (like with Toy Story 2). It's amazing how detailed the sound effects are on films like this. Viewers could listen to this film and still chuckle. I'd also like to comment on Randy Newman's score. Newman is probably one of the most under rated songwriters/film scorers around. His work on this film (like his best work including his great score for Ragtime) helps accent the action and humor. Newman's sardonic wit is the perfect compliment to Pixar's films. Monsters, Inc. (like Toy Story before it) has set a new benchmark for animated family films; it's sleek, intelligent and funny managing to reach kids and adults equally well.

Summary: LAURENS MOVIE REVIEW....MRS. CLARK *MY ENGLISH TEACHER* lOOK
Review: Monsters, Inc. is one of Disney's best movies they have made in a while. Whoever, came up with this idea was truely genius and had alot of imagination. Mike and Sully were the true stars of this movie, along with the voices behind them. The two of the voices matched each of the characters personalities and characteristics perfectly! Roz, was absolutely hilarious, my favorite line is "I'm watching you Wasowsky always watching you!". Boo also was very believeable when she dressed up as a monster. The scariest part I felt was the part where they were trying to suck the screams out of Boo and the rest.
This is one of my favorite movies along with Finding Nemo. I think this is because the same guy wrote both. This writer is very creative and I cant wait to some more of his works.

Summary: Monsters Inc brings you into the world of monsters.......
Review: Monsters Inc is by far Disney and Pixar's best movie to date. What an incredible imagination the creators of this movie have, it just took my breath away. The storyline takes place in Monstropolis a city where monsters live beyond the human world, and in that city there lies the company called Monsters Inc where monsters work and their job is to scare children, and then they collect their screams as a source of energy for the city's electricity. The outrageous part is this, the monsters consider children to be dangerous even deadly and that if a child were to touch them they would be contaminated and the company would be in trouble. Mike Wazowski voiced by Billy Crystal and James P Sullivan voiced by John Goodman are a team at Monsters Inc, Mike assists him and Sully does the scaring, they are the perfect team and Sully who is the top scarer at the company is this close to breaking the all time scare record until something happens. One night when everyone has left work Sully enters in door that has been left and when he goes in to look and then comes back out a little girl follows him and Sully tries to put her back but she keeps following him. Soon everyone in Monstropolis is in fear because of the so called child security breach and the future of Monsters Inc is in jeopardy. The ending is pretty much predictable but the great comedic talents of Billy Crystal and John Goodman more than make up for that. There are other wonderful voice talents in this movie such as the hilarious Steve Buscemi as Sully and Wazowski's nemesis Randall Boggs, the late and wonderful actor James Coburn as the Ceo of Monsters Inc Mr Henry J Waternoose III, the funny Jennifer Tilly as Wazowski's girlfriend and Monsters Inc receptionist Celia Mae, and the hilarious John Ratzenberger as Yeti the abominable snowman. There are also two great shorts on the vhs edition "Mike's New Car" and "For the Birds" All in all Monsters Inc is a movie that is pure magic, anyone can enjoy this movie, there is not one thing I don't like about it. I even found myself in tears at some parts of the movie. Just the relationship that Sully develops with the girl who he names Boo is both endearing and sweet, it really was touching. It is a movie that teaches you about true friendship, being there for your friend no matter what. How wonderful and even intriguing it would be if there really was a world where monsters worked, had families, drove cars just like humans. Pixar really outdid themselves with this movie and the end result can be summed up in one word: amazing!

Summary: Pixar hits another HILARIOUS HOME RUN !!! (DVD Review)
Review: .
Summary: Great movie for kids and adults with lovable characters and side splitting laughter. Great Pixar quality animation, great and imaginative script, great acting voices (Billy Crystal as Mike, John Goodman as Sully) that really fit their parts, high quality comedy (some slapstick) great directing, great music. DVD Features: The DVD extra material are plentiful and excellent! Definitely well worth the purchase! Great Director's Commentary; great tour of Pixar; great presentation of the animation process, etc. "Mikey's New Car" is a great little short feature; etc. and the "Birds" short feature is cute, too! Review:
This hilarious movie delivers side-splitting laughter! Everything fits together and is just great! Should be animated DVD of the year! This is a great DVD to have at home, even if you saw this in the movie theatre. My daughter saw it in the theatre, but still laughed uncontrollably watching the DVD movie, as well as Mikey's car! I mean really laughing until she couldn't breath! Story: Monsters work for a Corporation (Monsters, Inc.) That supplies energy for their city, Monsteropolis, by capturing the screams (scream energy) of children and monsters compete for the best screams with blue-furred cuddly Sully (Goodman) leading the competition. Somehow, a charming infant sneaks into Monsteropolis and hooks onto Sully; and whoever gets caught with her will get "cleaned" by the "authorities" - not a good thing! This throws Sully and one-eyed Mikey (Crystal) into a panic as they stumble against all odds to send the child back without getting caught. Scare Factor:
While the Monsters may be afraid of the children, there is no need for your kids to be afraid of them. The movie seems pretty harmless and young children seem to have no problem with the movie concept and scenes. And, did I mention it was FUNNY?!

Summary: Monsters inc
Review: I bought this movie on VHS for my kids. I have, and still do buy from Amazon, so imagine my surprise when I realized that this was sold to me by a third company. The VHS arrived at my house BLANK. I sent several emails to this company and never received a reply. Sent emails to Amazon and didnt receive a reply either. Sent the VHS back for exchange or refund and didnt get either. I had already paid my credit card so I could not contest the charge. Most unpleasant transaction. I give the moviw 5 stars because it is EXCELLENT, just DON'T BUY it here!!
