Wonderful Film!
Pixar can do no wrong! This follow-up to Toy Story 2 is wonderful.The casting is superb, with John Goodman as Sulley, and Billy Crystal as Mike, his assistant, drawing attention here. The animation shows true progression, with one being able to see each strand of fur separately, if you can look that closely. The story line and set pieces are masterpieces of imagination. Whoever thought this whole thing up should have gotten a very large raise. The story arcs nicely, with the viewer getting attached to Boo, the little human girl, as Sulley does. It does tend to drag just a bit in the middle, but the final third is fantastic. The final scene is pure magic. Overall, this stands as one of Pixar's very best, which, considering Pixar's track record, is saying a lot.

One of our family's favorite Pixar movies
Most of the other reviews say it all about the plot and features so I will just add that my daughter has loved this movie since she was one year old, and this is a movie that can hold an adult's attention and appreciation as well. The movie is very well written and charming, the animation is stellar, and there's nothing scary about THIS adorable monster movie! My daughter is 2 now and still loves this movie--the entire family still watches it regularly. Highly recommended, other favorites are Shark Tale, Finding Nemo, Toy Story 1 and 2, and A Bug's Life.

Heart-Warming and Funny
What if there actually were monsters in the closet, but their goal was to capture your screams to power their world? While the plot sounds silly, the execution is hilarious.

James P. "Sulley" Sullivan, voiced by John Goodman, and Mike Wazowski, voiced by Billy Crystal, are the leaders in obtaining the highest quantities of screams at the factory. Life seems to be going well for the buddies. Mike is in love with Celia, voiced by the sultry Jennifer Tilly. Sulley is the favorite of boss Henry J. Waternoose III, voiced by classy veteran actor James Coburn in one of his last roles. Life could hardly be better until co-worker Randall Boggs, voiced by Steve Buscemi, leaves a door in the factory and Sulley steps through it to find Boo, as he names the ultimately charming little girl that follows him through the door.

What follows is one of the funniest movies of 2001, animated or otherwise. Pixar Animation did an outstanding job of animated the monsters throughout this film, and the chase scene through the door factory has to be seen to be believed.

Winner of 11 major awards, including an Oscar, and nominated for 29 other awards, this movie has a visual power that will captivate young and old audiences alike. The two-disc collector's edition includes hours and hours of extras. As with most two-disc editions, some of the extras were great, some were good, and many I skipped through because I was uninterested.

"Monsters, Inc." is a rare family film that is suitable for all but the youngest members of the family. The animation is superb, the acting is great, and the storyline is creative. Movies such as these have made Pixar the current leader in animated films. Enjoy!
