Advantages: Everything - it's just a fabulous film Disadvantages: The ending -- WHY does it have to end? :'(
Welcome to Monstropolis, the bustling city that is home to monsters James P. Sullivan aka Sulley and Mike Wazowski. Life in Monstropolis pretty much echoes that of life in a human city - on their way to work Sulley and Mike pass monster children skipping in the street, they see other monsters going about their daily business (like a monster trying to read a paper but burning it to cinders when he sneezes a fireball), and greet friends like Tony, ... ...However, the inhabitants of Monstropolis are facing a power crisis. Sulley and Mike work at Monsters Inc., the largest scream processing factory in Monstropolis, where collected children's screams are their power source. The trouble is, children are becoming harder to scare and it doesn't help that the monsters themselves are terrified of human children - they believe that they are toxic and dangerous. So when a human child manages to find her way ...

Anybody that knows me by now knows that I watch a lot of children’s movies. I have explained before but I get forced you know? One minute I can be watching the footie, the next I’m invaded by the rest of the family who abruptly turn the TV onto the DVD channel, shove a bowl of popcorn in the middle of the room and bind and gag me for the following 90 minutes or so. This happened only recently with the millionth re-run of Monsters. Inc. In fact, it ... ...back in 2001……
Can you believe it? There I am standing in the queue for my seat tickets at my local UCG and there are a couple of strange looking fellas in front of me. One of 'ems a large, furry guy with broad shoulders and blue fur. The other is a small, green round chap with one large eye. They're both carrying plastic tubes in their hands. So I buy my tickets and shuffle through the theatre doors to take my seat. The kids are tugging at my shirt ...

Monsterrific Review ofMonsters, Inc. DVDby
Wolfie1974
Advantages: Great Family Viewing Disadvantages: None
~ Introduction ~
I watched this film on DVD a couple of weeks back, prompted by reading many raving reviews but still not really knowing what to expect in terms of the quality of this production.
Monsters Inc is a CGI (computer generated imagery) movie, I am not really a great fan of such movies after watching films like Final Fantasy as it seemed to be too false, however this film in my point of view is an absolute master-piece that is put together ... ...they have a number of successes under their belt, including ‘Toy Story I & II’ and ‘A Bugs Life’.
Director: Pete Docter, Lee Unkrich
Length: 95 minutes
Certificate: U
~ Story ~
The story is centred around a parallel world that the monsters live in named ‘Monstropolis’, in particular the ‘Monsters Inc’ factory – the factory actually powers Monstropolis and the power is obtained by the monsters ...

Advantages: May injure yourself laughing Disadvantages: I was wet with tears (and nothing else)
As the adverts and trailers had finished and the film was about to start-I was in a heroicly bad mood. Despite having watched some brilliant movies at the end of 2001 (Lord of the Rings, AI and Amelie) my cynicism for the cinema had reached an altime low. I decided to list the many things that were annoying me at this point: 1) The ticket cost £6.50. I could probably fly to Bulgaria and set up a chip shop with that sort of money 2) A couple of the ... ...Never Land' and 'Cinderella 2' almost had me going green and muscly and bursting out of my shirt. (As opposed to white and skinny and taking my coat off) Had Disney lost all sense of decency? Had they given up completely? I turned to a friend and said with the deepest sarcasm possible: 'what next? Beauty and the Beast 2?' He replied: 'yeah they've dont that one too' 3) I had been to the cinema the previous week to see Vanilla Sky (very disappointing) ...

Intelligent, funny, adorable, and beautifully animated, MONSTERS, INC. will delight fans of SHREK and TOY STORY, while drawing a new audience of curious, kid-friendly viewers. Billy Crystal and John Goodman make a fiercely funny comedic team as job partners and best friends, Mike (Crystal)--a little green guy with one huge eyeball, and Sulley (Goodman)--a big purple and blue fuzzy guy with dinosaur spikes down his back. Mike and Sully work at MONSTERS, INC., a gigantic corporation that captures the screams of little children and turns them into energy. To make the children scream, the monsters must enter each child's bedroom through the closet door, then deliver a frightening affront. The only problem is, kids aren't scared anymore. And because of this problem, Monsters, Inc. is in a jam. But when one little girl, Boo (Mary Gibbs), follows Sully through her closet door and into the factory, she brings an even more dire issue to the fore: the monsters are actually terrified of children. From Pixar Animation Studios, MONSTERS, INC. is an exciting adventure with a sweet, happy ending. Both the DVD and VHS releases include the animated short FOR THE BIRDS and a home video exclusive performance of "Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me" created by Mike Wazowski.
