Monsters, Inc. (DVD)

Yes I am referring to the film Monsters Inc it is my lifeline at times and the only way I can get anything done. You see my 2 year old daughter is addicted to it in every way possible. I never thought that a child so young could be affected so much by a film and merchandising. Monsters Inc is another classic to join the ranks of Toy story I and II made by Disney Pixar, the story line, animation and effects are fantastic. It is the story of two work ...

Review of Monsters, Inc. (DVD)

Monsters inc was a film produced by Pixar animation studios on February 8, 2002. The film was a massive hit and the fourth film Pixar had created. The film is a computer generated film and is about a place called Monstropolis. This is a place that only monsters live and they generate their power by scaring children and using their screams a source of power. The monsters use doors in a factory that enter children's bedrooms and the monsters then scare ...
...screams in a container to use for power. The monsters believe that children themselves are toxic, and go to great lengths to prevent contact; should a monster be touched by a child or their belongings they need to decontaminated. The company (monsters inc) holds a top scare award and employee Sulley holds this record. He is friends with Mike Wazowski and the pair always manage to generate the most power. A fellow employee Randall is jealous of their ...

Review of Monsters, Inc. (DVD)

I have said it before, and I will say it again, I am a big kid at heart. I had no excuses for going to watch Monsters Inc, I just went to see it because it's an animated film. Say no more! Basically the storyline goes that in monster world, they generate their electricity by scaring children in the human world. Monsters walk through a door, which on the other side opens up in a childs bedroom. They then scare the children, and the energy generated ...
...Unfortunately (for the monsters) they believe they have an allergy to children and don't touch them, or their belongings! If they do, they pay the price!!! Can you imagine the havoc it creates when one of the little rascals manages to get into monster world! She runs riot around the whole city and monsters are really scared of her. There is also a lot of back stabbing at Monsters Inc. Employees and management all working against each other and you ...

What a film, I could watch this film twenty times and not get bored of it. This animated film is made by Disney/Pixar and is along the same lines as Toy Story. Don’t be mistaken in thinking it’s for kids, we all found it hilarious! The story is about a monster world which is powered using the screams from kids. Monsters go through doors into the kids bedrooms and night and scare them. Their screams are collected and used for power. ...

One day a kid escapes into the monster world. Anything from our world is classed as contagious so a kid running around is not a good thing! Mike and Sully spend the rest of the film trying to hide her and get her back to her room. They name her Boo and dress ...

...animation is a group of monsters, hence the title, who need to make children scream in order to power the city. However, one monsters lovely obsession with a child almost leads to the destruction of the city. A strange plot, but certainly one that works well! Probably the most dynamic feature to the movie is that not only are the kids scared of the monsters, but the monsters are scared of the kids! The smallest trace of a human being, and the biohazard ...

Sullivan, a turquoise-furred giant, and Mike Wazowski, the one-eyed green monster whose antics are second-to-none, and keep the audience on the edge of their seats, whilst cracking up with laughter. Sulley and Mike, the two main characters, punch a clock at the scream factory, where Sulley is the acknowledged champion scarer. Life ...

WOWEE - they did it again! I think the famous tagline that went with thisone was something like - We Scare because we care! at the end of the film you find that you actually \"care\" too! I found myself teary eyed when poor Sully had to leave Bubba in her room. The plot outline of this one is simple: they are all monsters who need to scare children in order to produce energy for lightbulbs etc ..... in MONSTROPOLIS where they live. A human child ...

James P Sullivan (or Sully to his friends) is the King of Kings in Monstropolis and his friend and co-worker Mikey Wazowski work at the utility company Monsters Inc. - it produces all the energy that is needed in their world to make lightbulbs glow by making children scream at night in their beds. However one night a little human child ends up entering into their world everyone is convinced that children are poisonous ...

Pixar are a head of the others when making these types of films and no wonder Disney like to use them in other films like Toys and finding Nemo, ...

Sully, the big blue guy is the number one scarer at Monsters, Inc. and Mike Wazowski,the one eyed green guy, is his engineer. The way this works is each child has a door. The engineers bring the doors down, like clothes in a dry cleaners. Each door is delivered to a work area where the monster creeps into ...

I know it sounds like a horrible idea, scaring innocent children, but believe me, the monsters are more scared of the children than the children are of the monsters. Let me explain... The monsters believe if they touch a child, or anything belonging to a child that they will become contaminated and destroyed. And that is how Sully meets Boo. Boo is a little girl who Sully is supposed to scare. But when he enters ...

What a fabulous film, Sully is my hero. Love him to bits. All the characters are excellent and you bond with them it's uncanny, almost "real". The graphics blow you away and there's a scene in the snow and Sully's fur is blowing in the wind, it's breathtaking.

I have always enjoyed animation films so over the years Disney has collected a significant amount of money from me. I have as I have got older moved away from this genre due to the 'singalong world is wonderful' type of film produced in the last 10 years or so. However the introduction of 'Toy Story' has persuaded me to return. The newer animation appears to be spending more on the plot and story. Some non animation films could take a leaf from their ...
...enjoyed and Monsters Inc. is of a similar high standard. Initially you wonder how doe the plot of scaring children can be made amusing, but the imaginative plot and story line was made very realistic plausible and above all hilarious. Make sure that you do not miss pre film at the start and don't make the mistake of rushing to the car park as soon as the credits roll. Why do people do that? If you do you will miss the 'a la Jackie Chan' out takes. ...

Before I start, this is a review of the Collectors Edition, since I have noticed that there are reviews of the standard edition too in this section. So to start with, I'll talk about the film. It's from the good old favours, Disney, along with the new animation group Pixar, who are responsible for Toy Story 1&2, and A Bug's Life. For those who have seen any of these films, you'll know that it is great quality animation they are famous for, and Monsters ...

So when Scully accidently leaves a small girl into the monster world, the whole town is under threat. It's upto Scully ...

If you havn’t seen this yet, then where have you been? A masterclass in children’s entertainment from the creators of Shrek and Toy Story. With a classic sense of fun, humour and adventure with a cracking storyline that appeals to the younger and adult audiences. Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and many more bring the characters to life in a manner that draws you into the film and twangs those emotional strings. The town of ‘Metropolis’, ...

I have seen the film more than once and each time it delights as you notice different adult quips ...

This, already classic, Disney film incorprated the voices of John Goodman and Billy Crystal to really make the characters come alive. There's so much to say about this film, that I'd best get started. Sully (Goodman) and Mike Krazowski (Crystal) both work for Monsters Inc. This is where the power is generated to run monstropolis by scaring children and gaining power from their screams. Sully is the top scarer, whilst Mike is his sidekick. The things ...
...in fact scared of children! So what happens when a small girl ends up in monstropolis? It's up to Sully and Mike to save the day, and reveal a dark plot hidden within Monsters Inc. The best part of this film are the characters. Sully and Mike are just so likeable and not at all scary. Ros is plain hysterical, and Boo is adorable. The humour is quite adult in places, and often spoofs other films, such as Armageddon. The animation is outstanding and ...
