Even Better on DVD
After seeing the movie in the theaters, we knew we'd be buying this one for home. With an advance copy of this DVD in hand, I became a hero with my kids this week. My daughters and I found ourselves laughing out loud at the exclusive segment "Mike's New Car," and at the familiar humor of "For the Birds," (the short Academy Award winning piece that preceded the movie in theaters). But there's more than that. You have the chance to explore Monstropolis from a human or monster eye view. You'll find games and more. This 2-disc edition is well worth it.

"Monsters, Inc." is a great family film. It looks great, sounds great, and tells a good story. The scenes are full of life and color and imagination. My kids loved every minute of it. By taking us into the world of monsters who are trained to scare children, Pixar somehow teaches children not to be afraid. They demystify the terror of the dark closet, while never forgetting to throw in chuckles for the parents in the audience. When the monsters' world is turned upside down by the unexpected intrusion of a human child, hysteria breaks loose, and everyone's bound to learn something by the end--with heartwarming and humorous moments galore.

This is one of my favorite animated films ever, and it get's even better with the release of this packed disc.

Great film...
This film is funny, and may be one of disney's and Pixar's best computer animated Film.

"MONSTERS, INC." will scare up a treat for audiences
Delightful, uproarious, fun, hilarious, cute and cuddly, jovial... Just a few of the numerous "happy" adjectives you could pin on Pixar's latest pixilated masterpiece "Monsters, Inc." Pixar once again proves itself Disney's most valuable asset with their knack for original stories and often witty and clever humor.

John Goodman and Billy Crystal provide their trademark voices for Sully, the big blue furry monster, and Mike, the cycloptic short green monster as they scare up kids' screams which are converted to energy to power the televisions and alarm clocks of the monster metropolis. (Seems very allegorical of the California power outages this past summer, no?) Conflict brews when Randall, the gecko-like monster, gets greedy and wants to become the top "scarer" by exploiting the screams of the innocent human child, yet show-stealing cute, Boo. While kids might get lost in the action of the movie, the CGI effects and clever Laurel and Hardy-esque slapstick of Sully and Mike (or Lenny and George, which ever way you want to look at it) will have the kiddies captivated from beginning to end.

While Dreamwork's box office baby "Shrek" may have just as good edgy, clever humor and depth, Pixar is far from being out of the running. Keep in mind, Pixar is already a veteran with "Toy Story 1 & 2" (with a third on the way), and "A Bug's Life". There's no doubt in my mind that Pixar and Dreamwork's will be at the helm of the fully computer animated feature for years to come. May the best company win!

For the time being, strap yourself in for the first in some great holiday flicks coming to the silver screen near you! "Monsters, Inc." is already off and running to box office gold, and is a wholly satisfying and entertaining movie for kids, parents, and "Average Joe" movie critics alike.
