Monsters, Inc. (DVD)

Ok, so I lied, but I had to make the line punchier! Note: this is a review for the Monsters Inc game on the PS1. Enjoy! A word of warning before reading: this game is not really intended for the adult audience, but for young children, as adults will become quickly bored, frustrated and have the urge to throw their Playstation out the window! Monsters Inc is based on the hit film released not too long ago. Revolving religously around the film, you ...
...scarer at Monsters Inc, and recieve a diploma from the boss of Monsters Inc himself. The levels vary, from bedrooms to playgrounds, each with their own individual style that kids will love. You have to choose from either Mike, a small, greem monster with one eye, or Sullivan, a blue, large and dim-witted monster, but whoever you choose, the other one will aid you in parts during the game. It's a decent, well thought out concept, but is it any good? ...

Ever got scared of things that go bump in the night, or that monster you are sure that lived under your bed on in the closet? Well don’t worry, Monsters Inc. is here to show you there is nothing to be afraid of as well as providing several laughs along the way. The basic plot involves a city called Monstropolis where all the monsters live together. They have got an ingenious way of producing their energy, it all comes from the screams of children’s. ...

Mike is a large blue/purple furry and cuddly while Sully is green and has just one eye. There is competition inside Monster Inc. to reach the top of the charts, or become the scariest there, as Randall joins in the fun. Sully is the top of the rankings while Mike helps, Randell is competing in underhanded ways. This all ...

Review of Monsters, Inc. (DVD)

Pixar have been known for creating one type of film for one type of audience - animated motion pictures for children. Both Toy Story 1 and 2 were huge hits and fondly remember watching them when I was younger. Pixar brought animation to the height of its success and now they're back with Monsters Inc. But this film is different to the others, while Toy Story 1 and 2 appealed to the whole family, it was aimed at children, whereas Monsters Inc has ...
...universal appeal. Monsters Inc takes place in the imaginative and farce world of… a monster factory, or more commonly know as Monsters Inc! What takes place in this factory is no secret; Monsters go through specially made doors to collect screams by scaring children, which powers the Monster world. But, as usual, the film isn't as simple as that. The plot sees Sulley, Monsters Inc's champion scarer, and Mike, who sorts out Sulley's doors, bring a ...

There are loads of monsters so I’m just going to name the fifteen main characters and tell you a little bit about them. ~~~ THE CHARACTERS ~~~ HENRY J WATERNOOSE – the boss of the Monsters Inc. company. JAMES P SULLIVAN – also known as Sully. Big and blue with purple spots, quite furry and he’s got two horns on his head. BOO – A little ...

A review from a regular Joe Public, one of the people, the customer, Here's my story :- Unless you are hideous Monster who has hidden away from the light of day for many a month you will have certainly heard of the film Monsters Inc. Here's my review. About two weeks ago I went to see this film with my Mother my Sister and another family. I will start by saying all of us loved it. By all of us I mean two adults, two teenagers, one 11 year old and ...
...kept to the tradition of the Toy Story films and have included both funny jokes for the kids and slightly more mature and deeper meaning jokes for the adults. The film will set you off laughing in the first minute. Why? Because before the movie starts there is a mini film called "For the Birds" this is a great sub film and gets everyone in the audience relaxed and in a good mood. I am not going to tell you the story of the film because I'm sure you've ...

...in the world of the monsters, or rather in the sprawling monster city of Monstropolis, electricity is non-existent and instead everything is powered by the screams of children harnessed by specially trained monsters whose task it is to leap out of closets, creep out from under beds and collect as much scream energy as possible from terrified human children. The problem is that in modern times things are getting tougher because children are becoming ...

The heroes of a our story are a shaggy blue gentle giant of a monster called Sulley Sullivan (John Goodman) and his partner Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) who are the heroes of Monsters Inc. and are rapidly approaching the all time scream record. Fame does not come without its problems and they have a rival to their crack at the record in the form ...

Well what can I say, my girlfriend loves children's films and this was another that she dragged me to. To be honest, this was actually quite good. I pleaded with her to go to the later showing in the evening, but no we went on a Sunday afternoon and as soon as we sat down we were surrounded by children. Don't get me wrong, I like children, they can be very entertaining in their own way, but have you ever tried to watch a film with them? Babies were ...

So surrounded by mayhem and a scene resembling a chimps tea party, I did my best at focusing on the film, Here's what I thought. Oh and please don't think I am having a go at children or their parents, I was in the right place at the wrong time, not them! Cast (voices)/Characters John Goodman - Sullivan ...

Children are considered a serious threat to monsters and so any child (or anything belonging to a child) found in Monstropolis is immediatly destroyed by the CDU (child Detection Unit). Life is not all too peachy in Monstropolis, there is a definate energy shortage. Henry J. Waternoose, CEO of M.I is frantically trying to recruit more Kid Scarers. "Kids just don't get ...

Randall is a creepy lizard type monster who can change into the exact colour and pattern of his background which means he can fade away and not ...

Unfortunately, MI are running into difficult times and Randall is after some after hours extras ...

Unfortunately, Sully only manages to allow a wee girlie human into Monstropolis, running the risk of unleashing untold havoc and provoking the worst excesses of the Child Detection Agency, and that’s where the fun really starts.... Now that’s about all you need to know about the plot of Monsters Inc, because you can probably fill in all the gaps ...

...that on February the 8th Monsters, Inc is coming out at cinemas. Every ad break has some product endorsed by Monsters, Inc and McDonalds are even doing a Happy Meal promotion. Animation has come a long way since the early Disney flicks, and the popularity of Toy Story 2 and Shrek proved that cartoons aren't just for kids. Monsters, Inc, is Disney and Pixar's attempt at animation for the 21st Century. But does it work? I was expecting the cinema ...
...surprised to find the screen only about a quarter full, with only a few children. From the trailers I had seen I expected laughs and something along the lines of Shrek, which I really enjoyed. The film lasts for 1 hour and 40 minutes and although rated U, I think very small children may be a bit scared at some parts. Or was that just me? The story is based around the Monsters Incorporated factory, an energy company which uses the scariest monsters ...

Monsters Inc is a Pixar and Disney production and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it at the cinema. I saw Shrek before I saw this and I didn't think any animation could do better but I enjoy these two films the same, they're great! If you haven't seen Monsters Inc but enjoyed Shrek, I recommend you read on to see if this is for you... The film is based around a main group of monsters who work for 'Monsters Incorporation'. Monsters Inc supplies power ...

Sully is voiced by John Goodman and is accompanied by his best mate, Mike Wazowski. He is a little green monster with only one eye that looks rather like a ball, he is voiced by Billy Crystal. They are the two main characters and are very amusing! The companies saying is: 'We scare because we care'. All the ...

For some reason I never got round to seeing Monsters Inc when it was released earlier in the year. I've like everything that Pixar have done feature wise and own all of their previous efforts on dvd. So with the release of the this film's dvd it was time to put matters right. You know what you're going to get with a Pixar animated film, you'll get some outstanding visuals, good characters and above all else - a good story. Yes you see that despite ...
...that actually understands what is the core of a good film. The makers of Final Fantasy:The Spirits Within should take note. Monsters Inc takes the childhood idea of monsters under the bed and in the cupboards in you bedroom and then runs with it. You see in this world such monsters exist in an alternative universe where life is pretty much the same as in our reality. All the monsters live in a city much like New York and drive cars, walk to work, ...

FILM REVIEW ONLY - NO DVD INFO Due to hit the big screens next week, is Monsters Inc about to take the cinema world by storm? Will it knock Potter and the Rings for six? Well, it certainly gets my vote! I have just returned from a preview showing of the film and all I can say is WOW! If there is one thing I like about previews it is that you don’t have to sit through boring adverts and trailers before getting to the main action – you go straight ...

As anyone who reads my work regularly will tell you, I am a strong believer in the adage that a good review should not spoil the film for those about to go and see it and so if you want to get the story in detail before you go I suggest you go to one of the excellent websites devoted to the film (www.monstersinc.com). What follows will be why you should go and catch this wonderful piece. ******** The Creators ******** Monsters Inc is brought ...

The monsters go into childrens bedrooms through a transporting door and have to collect their screams as this is a source of power in their world, they cannot touch the children or their toys though as they believe they are toxic. One night mike forgets to file his paper work so sulley goes back to get it for him ...

...about? Yes, it’s Sulley from Monsters, Inc. I went to see the film yesterday with my eight year old daughter and her friend. I had read mixed reviews before going, so I wondered what I’d think to it. Would it be too over-sweet and sentimental? Gratingly American? Too childish or soppy? Too samey? No, none of those. It was absolutely wonderful. The plot is basically about a world where monsters of all kinds live together in the Monstropolis. ...
...stories in the newspaper, the Monsters, Inc. company logo (We only scare, because we care’) – each are clever and witty, adding to the enjoyment of the film. The animation is flawless throughout and exciting to watch, it’s the sort of film you could watch repeatedly and notice new touches each time. The monsters themselves are very well designed too, with probably every connotation covered – from one-eyed to multi-eyed, thin ...
