Monsters, Inc.

Billy Crystal, Bob Peterson, Bonnie Hunt

Monsters, Inc. is the largest scare factory in the monster world and the top kid Scarer is James P. Sullivan, a huge intimidating monster with blue fur, large purple spots and horns, known as "Sulley"...( read more  read more... ) to his friends. His Scare Assistant, best friend and roommate is Mike Wazowski, a lime green, opinionated, feisty, one-eyed monster. Scaring children isn't such an easy job--monsters believe children are toxic and that direct contact with them would be catastrophic. Inside the factory can also be found: the factory's crab-like CEO, the beguiling serpent-haired receptionist Celia, and the sarcastic chameleon monster, Randall Boggs, who schemes to replace Sully as Monsters, Inc.'s top Scarer. Visiting from the human world is Boo, a tiny girl who turns the monster world upside-down.

    I was going for a snake-slash-ninja approach, with a little hissing.

    Fantastic animation, loveable characters and fun storyline.

    The roller coaster/door scene is really impressive and shows great imagination.

    Really liked the idea, and the movie. Excellent animation work seeing that it was made in 2001 and looks better than some movies that have been made in 2008. The story is good but I'm giving it a 4.5 because the problem (Boo) comes to fast and there are parts that bring nothing t... ...( read more )

Apart from one lovely scene -- where the monsters and child climb over a moving assembly line of doors, leaping in and out of different realities -- Monsters, Inc. fails to develop the poetic richness... full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Monsters, Inc. is cheerful, high-energy fun, and like the other Pixar movies, has a running supply of gags and references aimed at grownups. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

It's the Pixar animators who keep grown-ups as riveted as the kids with visual marvels that dazzle and delight. full review
