Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MONSTER MOVIE
Review: THIS IS A HEART WARMING STORY, SET IN THE IMAGINARY WORLD OF MONSTERS- WHERE THE MAIN SORCE OF POWER IS FROM CHILDRENS SCREAMS.
TO COLLECT THE SCREAMS SCARERS GO THROUGH CLOSET DOORS AND PREFORM THE HIGHLY DANGEROUS MISSION OF SCARING THE CHILDREN- WHO ARE THOUGHT TO BE TOXIC AND HIHLY DANGEROUS.
THE STORY FOLLOWS STAR-SCARER- JAMES P. 'SCULLY' SULLAVAN AND HIS SIDEKICK- MIKEY AFTER THEY INADVERTABLY LET A TWO-YEAR-OLD CHILD INTO THE BUILDING.
WHILE THEY TRY THIR BEST TO SEND IT BACK THROUGH ITS CLOSET THEY FIND OUT THE CHILD ISNT AS DANGEROUS AS THEY HAD THOUGHT AND GROW ATTACHED TO THE JUMPPY AND EXTREAMELY CUTE LITTLE GIRL.
ITS A QUIRKY FILM WITH A GOOD STORYLINE- THERE ARE SOME BRILLENT TOUCHES IN THERE- SUCH AS A SMALL JESSIE-DOLL AND AT THE END REX AUDICIONING FOR A SMALL PART.
THERE IS ALSO A FARMILLIER TOUCH WITH THE ADONABLE SNOWMAN SLIPPED IN AS A BANISHED MONSTER.
THE GRAPHICS IS BRILLENT WITH GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND A BRILLENT CLIMAX THAT CAN'T FAIL TO DISSAPOINT.
AS I SAID BEFORE ITS A WARM AND FUZZIE MOVIE THAT HAS THAT SPECIAL OMP THAT DISNEY HAS REALLY BEEN MISSING IN ITS ANAMATIONS LATELY (TOY STORIES BEING AN OBVIOUS EXCEPTION) AND AS SO FEW MOVIES DO NOWADAYS WILL GO STRAIGHT TO YOUR HEART AND WILL HAVE YOU COMING OUT THOUGHTFULLY HAPPY.

Summary: Pixar rocks!!!!
Review: I am in so much love with computer-animated movies that I don't even care for the real movies as much as I used to. Frankly, I now would rather see computer-animated characters than overrated, troubled drug addicts that Hollywood has picked for many generations to become role models in our society. Computer-animated movies rule. I am anxiously waiting for movies like Shrek 2 to be made now. I can't get tired of those movies. From now on, I only buy those types of movies with their unsurpassed quality, creativity and wit. Rock on, Pixar! Take over the screens for good!!!

Summary: Pixar's little monsters!
Review: This movie is a blast for all ages, I am a mother of two children, 12 and 9. We all thoroughly enjoyed this movie!!
Pixar is amazing, and in saying that it doesn't seem that I've
quite said enough. Their detail is phenominal! The story line
is a wonderous delight. Full of comedy with an emotional touch.
We can't wait for it to be released in DVD...this is definitely a
movie worth seeing over and over again with family and friends.
Thank you Pixar!!!!

Summary: A beautiful, beautiful film.
Review: Disney/Pixar have done it again. First Dreamworks gave us 'Antz', and D/P trumped it with 'A Bug's Life'. Now DW give us 'Shrek', and D/P return another film about a lovable ogre, 'Monsters, Inc.' In each case, DW offered a film that seemed funnier, fresher, sassier, more gratifyingly 'adult', but which, in the end, couldn't begin to compare with the D/P films. This is because both companies go about making animation with opposing attitudes. Although they might not say so, DW make their films for adults. 'Antz' was a transposed Woody Allen movie; 'Shrek' an 'anti'-fairy tale. They appealed to adults' cynicism and disenchantment, their weary lack of wonder. Once you start winking, there can be no wonder. Their films are 'negative' entertainments - they mock or lampoon or play with or rework existing narratives or cliches or expectations. D/P, rightly, unashamedly, brilliantly, make their films for children first. They create new worlds (or recreate old ones) rather than knocking old ones down. Their cleverness doesn't go over childrens' heads, aren't contemptouos of them. And if adults get it too, well that's nice, but not the main thing. And this is brilliant for receptive adults, because it allows them to tap that lost sense of wonder, to re-enter and re-live their childhood emotions - AS CHILDREN, not knowing adults.

'Monsters, Inc.' is not classic D/P - the script is only sporadically witty (most of the best jokes seem to have been reserved for the end-credits 'out-take' sequence) and the characterisation not always inspired (exceptions: John Goodman is an adorable gentle giant; Steve Buscemi as a slithery villain with a scary ability to go invisible, undone by the fact that he's, well, Steve Buscemi). But this doesn't matter, because the animators of 'Inc.' have created a huge, whole new magical world, with its own integrity and movement, operating to its own logic, and believable right down to the tiniest detail. It's not 'our' world or filtered with our sensibilities, although we may recognise some of it - it's a paralell universe, co-existing with ours. The philosophical implications of an industry in which mere doors in the monsters' world opens onto the bedrroms of humans' is too dizzying to contemplate, but it makes for incredible cinema. From the Osbert Lancaster-inspired opening titles on, the film glows with that colourful lumonisity other movies can't reach. The three-dimensional hair rustling Sulley's body is amazing, yes, not because it so 'lifelike', but because it gives him life. The whole concept, where young children, our surrogates on the screen, become the scary Other, the 'abnormal' or 'freakish', is inspired. The climactic third is especially good, with its banishment-in-Nepal agony, its one-eye-poppingly astounding and vertiginous action sequence, in which a factory becomes a kind of candy-coloured Orwellian nightmare, with characters pursuing each other in and out of a global travelogue labyrinth, like one of Chuck Jones' more twisted fantasies (I could also mention that 'Inc.' is the best, most knowing and subversive blue collar drama in American cinema, but that would contradict what I said earlier). And the goo-goo little baby Boo is so Adorable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was really really good, but when come to DVD release, NG
Review: I agreed that the color was beautiful, the sound was great, the story was innovative, BUT, when is it going to release for DVD? This shown had already stopped showing at our local theatres for 3 or more months ago, and the DVD or VCD is still not yet released. What is taking them so long? It's not that I'm impatient, it's just too long compared to Pearl Harbor, Shrek or Mummy Return.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A feel good movie
Review: This is a movie that makes you feel good, and does it while making you laugh. Although not as funny as Toy Story, this movie does move up on its cuteness. An adorable Boo with a very touching Sully and funny sidekick Mike make up the main portion of the cast. The very creative idea of a monster world gathering screams for electricity, yet being fearful of a child's touch, lets this movie take off. The computer graphics have been bettered to be even more realistic (Sully's hair moving)! This is a perfect movie following the attacks of September eleventh.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ROAR ROAR ROAR
Review: It's a great movie!I never expected the monsters actually HAVE to scare kids...Because i thought they did it cuz they are all mean:(The main charecters,Sulley,Mike,Randall and Boo were just so good.Never saw the movie yet?Heres the story:
In the city of monstropolis,all the monsters had a normal day at work(monsters.inc)The monsters scare kids to get electricity for the city.Sulley was walking around after work and noticed a door still there.He opened it and a little girl came out.To monsters,kids are toxic and if one comes in,it's just bad.It's up to Sulley and Mike to get Boo back while trying to avoid Randall.
Sounds good,eh?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Perfect Family Outing
Review: While the kiddies may not quite get all of the jabs at corporate environments, MONSTERS, INC. deserves all of the praise and adulation any reviewer can bestow on it. The pacing is perfect, the CGI work is unparalleled, and the story is hilarious and touching. The film has everything a motion picture should have ... plus the kitchen sink.
