Summary: great movie!
Review: I took my little niece to see this, and *both* of us just fell in love. It really shows the importance of perspective--the monsters and the children totally misunderstand each other and then come to an understanding. It's so cute and has really good lessons in it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Family Fun Film
Review: Interesting plot, character images with behavior, and some well-known actors' voices carry this film!

I saw it three times; Pixar's creators place family values in a cartoon!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A movie with messages
Review: This movie is really cute! There are some messages that we should pay attention to:
- The importance of the laughter instead of screaming.
- The harm of the prejudice
- Sometimes physical strenght is not what is needed to solve a problem
You should really watch this movie and pay attention to these messages and others that I may have forgotten.

This is definitely not a movie only for kids...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Cool, Monstrous Motion Picture for the whole family
Review: This is a great movie, including the cast: Billy Crystal (Michael "Mike" Wazowski), John Goodman (James P. "Sulley" Sullivan), Steve Buscemi (Randall), Mary Gibbs (Boo), Jennifer Tilly (Celia), James Coburn (Monsters, Inc. CEO Henry J. Waternoose), Bob Peterson (Roz), John Ratzenberger (Yeti), and Frank Oz (Fungus).
And now I know why monsters scare us...because they produce electricity from our scares, but in Monstropolis us kids are toxic and we can't touch monsters at all. That's why the tagline of Monsters, Incorporated is "We Scare Because We Care" and that's why they are giving it 5 stars or at least A+ Material.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Disney does it again!
Review: After seeing Montsers Inc. I wanted to buy that movie from the theatre! Pixar and Disney know how to develope an excellent story and have the animation to match. Having it done on ink and paper would have made this movie..."another cartoon movie."
Computer animation is the way ALL Disney movies should be done, but hey we all can't be spoiled. Definately recommend this to a friend or 10 who have kids who are scared of the dark. This is an excellent way to show them, that monster's in the closet are our friends.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Should Have Won the Best Animated Picture Oscar!
Review: ...While monsters in the closet may seem to be a scary reality for some children, `Monsters, Inc.' makes it light hearted by showing them it's all in a night's work. The characters are as charming as the cast that speaks for them.

It's a learning experience children get to see how an industry works. Monsters, Inc. is an in-genius corporation that has scientifically learned how to channel children's screams into energy that is used for electrical power. It has monster employees, an assembly line of doors (which give monsters access to children's bedrooms), a top-flight training program and some of the top Monsters in the scaring business.

There's a colorful Metropolis, filled with houses, buildings, businesses, cars and everything that makes a city run smoothly along with a population of colorful creatures. One of the colorful groups of creatures is the yellow swat team. Their job is to protect the Metropolis of Monsters, Inc. from human contamination.

But what happens when a human child mysteriously gets through the bedroom door and terrorizes the city with screams and boo's. It's wondrous and funny. In the mist of all this is industrial crime, brought on by greed. But, the story ends on a very happy note.

John Goodman is the voice of `Sulley' a colorful large blue-green ape like monster who's the star Monsters, Inc. employee. He's some type of monster, cut, cuddly, and he has a conscience that leads him to feelings of regret about scarring children. He becomes attached to Boo (voice of Mary Gibbs) a cute, little big-eyed girl who is mysteriously brought to Monsters, Inc. and in his quest to return her home becomes very attached to her.

Sulley's best friend is Mike (voice of Billy Crystal) who's a funny looking green ball with stick legs and one huge eye. His comedy is seen through out the movie. Mike is Sulley's driving force, acting as his agent. Mike's job is to make sure Sulley remains the top Monsters, Inc. employee. But when it comes to laughter Mike proves he's on top.

Mike's girl friend Celia (voice of Jennifer Tilley) is the stylish employee who has Mike's best interest at heart. Her job is to keep him out of trouble.

I give Monsters, Inc. a ten. It is an animated movie that can be enjoyed by the whole family. It makes for great family fun. I also loved the hilarious outtakes with of course, Roz.

My Rating ****1/2

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Laugh, Great Message
Review: I took my 3-year-old son to see this movie in the theater, mainly because he was afraid of monsters. I laughed louder than my son throughout the movie, and he got the message all monsters are not bad or mean. Whenever he would wake up scared, we reminded him about the "Monster Movie" [as he calls it]. The best I can say is: My husband even enjoyed the animated, "kid movie"!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Disneys' latest in Pixar
Review: "Monsters Inc." is the latest in pixar and just as good as it's predecessors, "Toy Story 1 & 2".
It is the story of the Monsters in children's closets, and their world beyond.
One eyed "Mike" (Billy Crystal) and Big, burly, Blue "Sully"(John Goodman) are the two lovable and sweet monsters who help the child, "Boo" back to her world after she follows Sully back in. Along the way we meet the other 'scary monsters" some good some not soo good ones, and have a good laugh. This is a really fun movie to watch, whether or not there is a message here like another reviewer mentioned. I don't really watch disney cartoons for messages or at least going searching for them. This is just fun family entertainment.
Billy Crystal is hilarious, and John Goodman is also funny and a perfect voice for the adorable Sully. Even if their job is to scare kids, they are endearing characters.
Worth purchasing if you are also a fan of the "Toy Story" movies.
There are some very funny outtakes at the end so stay tuned.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVE MONSTER'S INC.!!!
Review: This movie is my favorite of ALL TIME!! You'll love it, regardless of your age. It makes you laugh and almost even brings you to tears in the end. I love Mike and Sulley, they make such a pair-- and Randall (the slithery guy) makes the best villain! My favorite line of the movie : "mmmm...painted?" said by Mike. Okay, well I DEFINETELY recommend this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Monster's Inc. is another great movie from Pixar.
Review: I got to tell you, this movie is funny. You'll absolutely love this one. I loved the first two movies from Pixar(Toy Story and Toy Story 2)so, when I heard they were coming out with yet another, I had to check it out and I'm glad that I did. John Goodman and Billy Crystal head off the cast in this movie and they do a stellar job. When a lil girl named Boo gets lost in the closet monster's world, it's up to them to help her find her way back. Boy, do they ever. It's one wild ride that the whole family will love to watch.
I highly recommend this one to the young and old alike. It's fantastic.
