Family entertainment at its best!
It doesn't get better than this! We purchased this copy as a replacement for one that we borrowed a couple of years ago. Fun for parents as well as kids. Added bonus - the more you watch (which you will), the more funnies the parents will pick up on. Do not miss out!

No magic for me anymore
I'm not sure what it is specifically about me anymore, but animated films just don't have any magic. When you were young, you used to believe anything & everything you saw on screen. But now, not so much. Is it just me? I chose this film simply because I couldn't get past a guy at the time, and I spotted this. My dad loves these kinda films.

The cast has a whole host of famous voices, which you'll have to watch the credits to work out who they are, and then kick yourself, cos you knew who they were all along. They include: Voices of: Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Jennifer Tilly, Steve Buscemi, and Bonnie Hunt, amongst many more.

I didn't like the characters much in this movie, although the little girl, Boo, reminded me so much of Christina Ricci (say it right!) in Mermaids. I have no idea why.

The end credits are quite funny, with the list of babies born during the production, no monsters were harmed in the making of this motion picture, and outtakes as well.

But the best thing about this DVD? The hilarious short film, From The Birds. I CRIED during this, it was so funny - it got an Oscar as well. I've already watched this short film three times, it's the best thing about this entire DVD. I'd definitely buy this DVD (but probably for my Dad's DVD collection) so I can keep watching this hilarious short. I actually had to pause it during, just so I could calm myself down & stop watching it. I even bought a little mobile phone charm, as it reminds me of the birds in the film.

Overall, there is a few funny moments during the film, but otherwise, it was alright. Not really my kinda film, but obviously something was telling me to borrow it, so I can see the brilliance that is From The Birds.

A Secret World
As a child, who is not fearful of a big, scary monster opening your closet door and eating you alive? Ironically, these intimidating monsters are more afraid of the children they are scaring than the children are of them.
Pixar's Monsters, Inc., directed by Peter Docter, David Silverman, and Lee Unkrich, puts a spin on the original idea of monsters inside your closet. I greatly enjoy this comedic movie full of laughs and tears especially because of the characters' qualities and creativity.
In this movie, James P. Sullivan, played by John Goodman, and his sidekick Mike Wazowski, played by Billy Crystal, work at a factory called Monsters Inc. that turns screams into energy. Everyday life depends on children's hairs standing up in the town of Monstropolis. One day, James P. Sullivan, the best scarer at this factory, accidentally lets in a little girl that he later name Boo. Although children are supposed to be toxic and dangerous to monsters, both Mike and James P. Sullivan, nicknamed Sulley, find that no harm comes from these little people. Boo, played by Mary Gibbs, has now entered a world unfamiliar to her where she poses a great threat. With her two monster friends, Boo is ready for any problems she might face.
Because of characters like Boo, Sulley, and Mike, Monsters, Inc. keeps me captivated and emotional. Anyone can relate Mike's comedic flair, Boo's vivaciousness, or Sulley's friendliness. Even from the beginning of the movie, Mike wakes up Sulley by saying, "Hey, good morning, Monstropolis. It's now five after the hour of 6:00 a.m. in the big monster city. Temperature's a balmy 65 degrees, which is good news for you reptiles, and it looks like it's gonna be a perfect day to maybe, hey, just lie in bed, sleep in, or simply... work out that flab that's hanging over the bed!"
In addition, I love the originality that this movie possesses. I have to give acknowledgment to the writers of this film. They did a wonderful job of being imaginative, and coming up with such a complex world full of monsters. I especially like the scene when both Sulley and Mike are in the locker room and Mike asks for "odorant." With his choices of smell being smelly garbage, old dumpster, or wet dog, Mike chooses wet dog, and Sulley responds by saying, "stink it up."
Overall, I absolutely love this movie and never get sick of watching it. I especially like the fact that this movie is fit for the whole family to watch together.
Who knew that to the creatures inside our closets think of us as the monsters that could hurt them with just a single touch?
