Plot:

Monstropolis is a city powered by the screams of children and Monsters Inc. is the company providing this screams with the help of their top scarer Sulley (Voice provided by John Goodman) and his assistant/best friend Mike Wazowski (Voice by Billy Crystal). Sulley and Co use the closet doors of children to enter the human world and scare the children at night in order to collect their screams. They have to avoid contact with any of the children or anything they have touched as everyone knows human children are toxic to monsters! The problem is with the release of more and more horror films it's getting harder and harder to scare children and as a result the city is facing a major power shortage. When a human child manages to infiltrate Monstropolis some scarers decide drastic measures will need to be taken in order to produce more screams. It's left up to Sulley and Mike to return this child to the human world before something terrible happens and maybe, just maybe there is an alternative source of power....

Soundtrack:

The soundtrack is pretty unremarkable and just belnds in nicely with the film so much so that half the time you don't even notice the music however I did particularly enjoy the song with the ending credits "If I didn't have you".

Overall:

A Thouroughly enjoyable film for all ages with plenty of adult humour disguised! the characters are great. A film that can not only make you laugh but almost reduce you to tears as well.

I saw it. It's very nice...I do like this kind of movie!

missy0303 20.10.2005 13:09

My kids love this film....not quite a VH but still good, Maybe adding a little more character detail, where to buy, pricing etc would achieve higher ratings....let me know if you add to it and i will have another read/rate :-) Michelle x
