Excellent entertainment for kids
"Monsters Inc" is first-rate family entertainment. This Pixar Studios production is visually stunning and shows off digital computer technology at its finest. Its monsters wouldn't scare the average four-year old, which is what the moviemakers intended. This is sheer fantasy, and delightful fantasy at that. Adults should know that the movie lacks the sophistication of "Shrek", "Antz" or other Pixar works like "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2".

In this highly imaginative tale, those monsters who come out of kids' closets at night are actually residents of Monstropolis, where energy is provided by the screams the creatures elicit from unsuspecting children. Times are tough, though, because kids today aren't so easily frightened. The monsters must never actually touch any child because they believe that human beings are deadly poisonous. So, the beasts are actually more frightened of kids than kids are of them. [Who knew?] Much comedy and pandemonium results when a little child called Boo follows one of the monsters, Sully, into Monstropolis.

For kids, this is one of the best animated features ever made. For adults, it is painless to sit through and, for the most part, quite entertaining.

Welcome to Monstropolis
Disney opens the door to a whole new world in the clever animated fantasy "Monsters, Inc". In the amazing world of Monstropolis, James P. Sullivan (John Goodman) and Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) are the top-notch scare duo of Monsters, Inc. When an unsuspected human child crosses over into their world, Sullivan and Mike must keep their new guest a secret and learn that humans aren't that scary. "Monsters, Inc" is an inventive and funny animated comedy with a superb voice cast and incredible animation. The story is original, funny and appealing for all audiences. John Goodman and Billy Crystal deliver great comic performances. The voice cast also includes Steve Buscemi, James Coburn, John Ratzenberger and Jennifer Tilly. The computer animation is certainly colorful and groundbreaking.

Disney dishes out one monstrous DVD. The animated blockbuster is presented in both THX-certified 1.85:1 widescreen and standard full screen formats. The DVD contains an exceptionally sharp picture quality with bright colors and a positively excellent 5.1-EX Dolby Digital sound. This fully-loaded 2-Disc DVD includes audio commentary with director Pete Doctor and crew, deleted scenes, very funny outtakes, multiple behind-the-scenes featurettes, the amusing animated short "Mike's New Car" and clever interactive menus. With its impressive viewing quality and enjoyable features, "Monsters, Inc" scores a solid "A".

Engaging, captivating and sentimental
From start to finish this movie is pure joy for the whole family. We start with a unique storyline in a part of the world where all of the monsters live and work. Their job is to come through the closet doors of unsuspecting children as they sleep at night, and scare them. The screams are collected for power that lights their world.

The glitch is the monsters are deathly afraid of the children and when one sweet child finds her way back through the closet, chaos erupts for our "#1 scarer" Sully, whose voice is creatively executed by John Goodman. The fun is fast and furious, as Sully, and Mike his sidekick, an eyeball with teeth and skinny green legs, performed by Billy Crystal, feel compelled to keep her safe from and evil plot that is lurking in the underworld of Monsters, Inc.

Wonderfully imaginative, with bright vivid colors, animation so sharp you can see each and every piece of fur on Sully as it ruffles in the breeze, and characters you will fall in love with. This DVD is a big-time winner for the whole family. Kelsana 8/31/02
