LAURENS MOVIE REVIEW....MRS. CLARK *MY ENGLISH TEACHER* lOOK
Monsters, Inc. is one of Disney's best movies they have made in a while. Whoever, came up with this idea was truely genius and had alot of imagination. Mike and Sully were the true stars of this movie, along with the voices behind them. The two of the voices matched each of the characters personalities and characteristics perfectly! Roz, was absolutely hilarious, my favorite line is "I'm watching you Wasowsky always watching you!". Boo also was very believeable when she dressed up as a monster. The scariest part I felt was the part where they were trying to suck the screams out of Boo and the rest.
This is one of my favorite movies along with Finding Nemo. I think this is because the same guy wrote both. This writer is very creative and I cant wait to some more of his works.

A delightful Movie...Grown-Ups - Don¿t Miss This One!
Monster's Inc is the factory that supplies all the energy for Monstropolis, a city that humans never heard of and cannot see. The energy is derived from the screams of children who are tormented during the night by monsters who work for the company. The monsters enter through a fabricated bedroom (closet)door, scare the child, and the child's screams are bottled up and saved as an energy source. Immoral but ingenious!

John Goodman is the voice of James Sullivan (Sulley), the best "scarer" of the lot, revered by his fellow associates. His sidekick Mike (Billy Crystal) is a one-eyed "lover boy" and jokester. Randall is a nemesis who desperately wants to unseat Sulley as the number one scarer and devises a plot to cheat his way to the top. The plot backfires when Sulley accidentally discovers Randall's plan and ends up bringing an adorable little child into the Monster-World unexpectedly. That's when the real fun starts and it doesn't let up until the closing credits roll across the screen at the end.

The Collector's Edition 2-Disc DVD has several enteratining bonus features: Mike's New Car (animated short), For The Birds (Academy Award winning animated short), A preview of Disney/Pixar's "Finding Nemo" (slated for Summer 2003 release), and outtakes and bloopers from Monster's Inc. There are also 2 additional interactive features: Monster World lets you go through first day training as an employee at the Monster's Inc factory (and also includes a history of the Monster's Inc world and a few games). The Human World takes you behind the scenes at the Pixar animation studios and also gives us a peek at deleted scenes.

Overall, this is a spectacular collection of entertainment from Disney/Pixar which is destined to become an all-time classic.

Fantastic animated fun
Pixar is quickly becoming a gold mine. Not only does it manage to produce witty, intelligent movies but they are also visually stunning and a hit with both adults and children. This particular movie takes another look at an old theme, just as the 'Toy Story' films did, by taking a peek at the monsters that live in our closets. We're told that they don't live in our closets but in a world of their own and their power source is us or, more specifically, children's screams. Our two heroes are Sully, a big hairy blue creature, and his little one-eyed green friend. Sully is the best worker at Monsters Inc, managing more screams than any other worker. There's a fuel crisis though, and children aren't as easily scared as they used to be, so something has to be done. All of a sudden, a little girl called Boo enters into the monster world and is swiftly taken under the arm of Sully. Meanwhile, villains are afoot building a new and terrifying device to extract human screams from kidnapped children.

Although the fact that the initial feelings of fear and trepidation turn into feelings of love and caring is quite obvious, it's the way it's done that's so good. In this part it's even comparable to movies such as 'Three Men and a Baby', but it's so affectionate, funny and thankfully un-cutesy that you have to give it credit. Also worth mentioning are the countless little details that will make both adults and children laugh - i.e. a newspaper headline reading 'child born with five heads; parents delighted'. Just like the 'Toy Story' movies, there are plenty of visual gags and a host of likeable, well-drawn characters such as Cecelia, a one-eyed Medusa, and the abominable snowman that deludes himself that his icy home is both pleasant and accommodating. With all this, you can't fail to fall under its spell.

It's well acted, visually interesting, innovative and even gently touching. The inevitable separation scenes are not only done well, but they are devoid of schmaltz and sentimentality that would ruin the moment. Even if this isn't as funny as the 'Toy Story' movies that it's bound to be compared to, it's actually more touching and yet more proof that children's movies can be good too.
