Summary: Buy this DVD, or so help me...!
Review: This is a wonderful collection, containing a great transfer of a film that's both funny and sweet, coupled with another disc full of great extras.First off, disc 1 contains both widescreen and fullscreen presentations of the film. Hats off to the DVD creators for showing examples of the differences between the two, and for making widescreen the default selection. If you haven't been watching your DVDs in widescreen, then you've been missing half the movie. It should be pointed out, however, that in this case as well as with A Bug's Life, Pixar actually reworked the composition of many scenes in order to make the fullscreen version look better. The fullscreen version contains "bloopers" during the final credits, while the widescreen version does not, but they can also be found on disc 2. I have to say that I am disappointed with the running commentary. It wasn't as informative or entertaining as the ones I had experienced on the Toy Story films. They basically discuss the technical challenges, all of which are also discussed on disc 2. They also describe some fully-rendered scenes that were later deleted (unusual for an animated film), but not all of them are included in the set. That's a bit of a disappointment. There is so much information on disc 2, it's hard to describe. You get wonderful character design sketches, early animation tests, tours of the "sets," deleted scenes, games, interviews and much, much more. There's really no possible way to get through it all. If you tried it at one sitting, you'd have information overload. Most of the extras are great, while some of it is not as great and a bit redundant. That's bound to happen when this much information is on display. It took way too long for this movie to make it to DVD, but it's worth the wait. There have been many unfair comparisons to Shrek, but this movie and DVD collection is much better in many respects. Not only is it more appropriate for kids, but it can withstand way more repeat viewings. The DVD set itself shows what can be done in terms of content. Disney/Pixar continues to set the standard for DVD presentations of animated films.

Summary: A Dorm Favorite
Review: Although this movie appears to have been designed for children, I have noticed that it is a big favorite among college students (both male and female). Two floors of girls from one residence hall even got together and had a movie night in one of the lounges just so that they could watch it!

Summary: Worth every penny!
Review: The movie itself is one of the most entertaining animated films I've ever seen and I've seen more than my share. Excellent story, gorgeous CG, funny, touching and great for all ages. This is one of THE classics. Pixar=quality entertainment! But the DVD was even better than I anticipated. So many great extras like the the shorts "Mike's New Car" and "For the Birds" (both are hilarious). All the behind-the-scenes stuff is fantastic. And there are so many great easter eggs hidden on the DVD that you could spend quite some time hunting for those treasures (and they're definitely worth the time). This DVD would be a gem in anyone's collection!

Summary: Splendid!
Review: First of all, I have to say that I don't care much for animated films. They have to be veeeety well done to get my attention, and the story must be at least reasonable. Since most of the commercial animations are directed to children, it's diffucult for me to like this kind of movies. But since "Monsters Inc" was made by Pixar, and I really liked both "Toy Stories", I gave this one a shot. And I was really surprised, in a good way. The story is good, the characters are amazing, specially "Mike" and "Boo"; the villain monster is also very good; there are several funny situations, confusions, puns, references, you can see that people had lots to think about to make "Monsters" an incredible entertainment. The best part, however, is after the ending of the film, showing "scenes that didn't go well". Hilarious. Great entertainment for all ages. Grade 9.3/10

Summary: My 2- and 5-year old love it!
Review: This movie gives me much peace and quiet in our rowdy household! My two-year old boy and five-year old girl both sit still through this one, in its entirety. My two-year old was sick for two days, and he watched it six times during those two days. He sat still, by himself (sister was at school), and watched it, riveted. I checked on him while I puttered around straightening things, and he never moved, until the ending credits. Then, he was up like he was shot out of a gun, dancing around, saying "Monster, monster". As is usual with Disney/Pixar, it operates on more than one level. Observant parents will catch some very funny moments (we can all relate to the work-a-day grind). The sushi bar is probably my favorite. Anyway, anything that can quiet my two for longer than five minutes is more than OK in my book!

Summary: Great movie! ^_^
Review: Finally badged my Husband into renting it, and he loved it as well. There is nothing so grand as a kids movie that's actually enjoyable for adults. The shorts included in the DVD are also hysterical, we must have seen the birds on a wire clip five or six times before we returned the movie. Great stuff! ^_^

Summary: A good DVD for a good movie
Review: I rented this movie from Blockbuster. I wish that I had more time to watch it, though. I thoroughly enjoyed the special features of the DVD. I thought that the hidden extras were hilarious, especially the drawings of what the Pixar people thought that the big room should look like. Hilarity!

Summary: Great idea...so so execution
Review: With the good word of mouth the movie received, I was disappointed at not being able to see it at a movie theater when it first came out. It seemed as though it would be a movie worth the price of admission, so I gladly forked over the bling bling for the DVD. I should have rented it first! Though most of Pixar's animation is amazing, the opening sequence seemed as though it belonged to a different movie. There was nothing clever about it. The story, however, has a great premise and many of the ideas mined to support it really hit the mark. Mr. Goodman's Sullivan is played wisely. Boo is a beautiful creation. The complexity of the monster world reflects well the dedication of its creators and the care that they took in making the film. There are some really bad choices however. Mike Wazowski had a lot of potential if it had not been for the decision to portray him as such a whiney braggart. Mr. Crystal plays Mike way over the top and is at his most annoying. The friendship that Sulley and Mike share seems very one-sided. Nothing would suggest that Mike would act nobly. The twist at the end of the movie was also hardly original and was as unsatisfying as it was in Mission Impossible. The second DVD is very interesting. The creative effort that went into the movie is astonishing. At the risk of being accused of being too picky and without a life, I have the following request of Pixar: Enough with the "supposed" outtakes! They were funny in Toy Story and A Bug's Life, now they're just boring.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I loved this movie. It is better than Shrek if you ask me. Shrek was funnier maybe, but Monsters, Inc. has a great plot and there isn't any dull and slow parts like some children movies can have. This is great for kids and adults. Wonderful movie. A Must see.

Summary: Cutest Movie
Review: This is the cutest movie ever. The characters all look real, the way Sully's fur moves and the way boo walks. This movie kept me laughing and I almost cried at the end lol. This movie is very sweet and I would reccomend it to everyone.
