Advantages: My daughter watches it 2 times a day!! Disadvantages: I watch it 2 times a day!!
What a fantastic, wonderfully animated film. My two year old adores this film. She's watches at least once a day, sometimes twice, and even though I have seen it about about 60 times already, I am sucked in everytime, so, yes I too watch Monsters Inc twice a day!
Sulley and Mike (the two main characters) are hilarious. Boo (the little girl who is let in to the Monster world) is the most adorable animated character since Simba. The story is fairly ... ...cried at the end) but all in all Monsters Inc is on a par with Toy Story. We have the dvd with all the extras. This cost £19.99 and comes in a 2 dvd box set. The extras are some other animated shorts by Pixar that are on the normal single dvd. The 2nd dvd has the a detailed look at the making of the film and a tour of the Pixar studios which I found extremely interesting.
There is also a game featuring Boo, and lots more to keep you entertained. ...

Advantages: hilarious and enthralling Disadvantages: there isnt a sequel
A funny and incredibly original masterpiece. Having 2 small children means i get to watch loads of kids films and this is by far and away my favourite. The main characters Sulley and Mike work in the Monstropolis power station where the power is generated by extracting screams from human kids, who incidentally are the most poisonous toxic creatures imaginable in the monster world....or so they think.
Sulley and Mike find themselves quite literally ... ...plot at the factory. There are a few twists and turns as the plot unfolds as the pair battle to return the child home and stop Randal and co carrying out there evil plans. Recommened to all 10/10. Look out for Pixar's latest film Ratatouille. I saw it at the cinema a couple of days ago and its a terrific film. ...

Advantages: Superb Script and animation Disadvantages: Quite a short film
Well in the past I have been a big fan of the amination films produced by both Dreamworks and Pixar. Up to now the sheer expertise that had gone into films such as Shrek and the Toy Story Films but I believe Monsters inc will wipe the slate clean.
The story briefly is that Monster City relies on Childrens Screams to power their city and so every night hundreds of monsters come out of childrens cupboards to scare children and generate electricity. ... ...think that if they are touched by a child it will kill them. Then a child manages to make it through into Monster City and it causes panic around the city. The two main characters (played by John Goodman and Billy Crystal) begin a quest to return the child to the real world but they come accross several complications.
I have just seen the preview of this film in London and it is excellent and suitable for adults and children. Its animation is a ...

...children are scared of the monsters, the monsters are scared of the children. Without giving away too much, who would've have thought such a theme could encompass high speed chases, and the sinister plots of the big boss to get better rating for his scream factory. By adopting adult themes this film can make the kids feel more mature, at the same time appealing to the adults. No doubt, you will also be amazed at the cuteness of the little girl in ...

Advantages: It is without doubt one of the funniest films i have ever seen as well as having some of the most outstanding CGI ever Disadvantages: is that addition of the sulley toy, door handle message and name plate worth the extra money
Now i know that this film has been reviewed to death. To be honest im not surprised as it is an outstanding film for kids of all ages.
I was blown away by sight of Sulley's fur moving as if it was real and not computer generated, but not only was the animation outstanding, the soryline and script were first class
Ok the basic sory is that Sulley (a big blue bear with horns) and Mike ( a green tennis ball with one eye) work for Monsters Inc. The ... ...provided by the screams of human children. So each night Sulley and the other Scarers go out into the world and scare the be-jesus out of poor boys and girls to collect the screams.
The only down side of the job is that children are toxic (as anyone who has changed a dirty nappy can vouch for) and if the monsters are touched by the kids they will die.
Of course a human child gets into their world, so Mike and Sulley have a series of adventures ...

Once a sweet little girl Boo follows Sully the big green monster and his friend Mike a green guy with a huge ... ...with Sully in their world. They try a lot to send her back but there are millions of doors and one doesnt know through which one Boo has to go. Theres this villain also who tries a lot to throw Sully out from the inc but fails.. The story is sweet, comedy and in the last a little emotional too when Sully has to send Boo back to her room and may or may not see her again. The little girl is really sweet with big eyes..Cartoons no longer make us feel ...

...of a world full of monsters, who are short of energy, who will come to the rescue? Monsters Inc who harness the powers of human children’s screams to make energy, a great idea with only one problem, children are dangerous!

Monsters Inc is a Disney Film that if you haven't seen by now- I urge you to go and get it!
Even if you don't have children, you can watch this and still tell other adults without seeming silly.
Just in case you don't know or haven't heard about Monsters Inc here is a description of the film:
Monsters Inc is a film about a world where no humans live, enter or know about. It is a world full of monsters who to get energy to fuel their world creep ... ...their scream in a bottle, the scream then is transferred back at their world to produce energy cells.
These monsters are not nasty with the exception of a few, but don't know any different then scaring children...

Lets start by saying that Pixar is the best! Of all the compueter generated movies, oscar winner Monsters Inc. is top of the pile!
The plot---Monster Inc follows the best "scarer" James P. Sullivan (better known as Sulley) in Monstropolis ...As a scarer Sulley basically sneaks into a childs bedroom and scares them harvesting the child 'scare' and use it to power there city. But while they do this the monsters have to be careful and they believe ... ...running away scared of a little girl is brilliant--- All seems well in Monstropolis until a little 2 year old girl called 'Boo' sneaks in finds her way to Sulley and starts to cause mayhem!
The Plus--- The characters' realism, movements and feelings are spot on. Initally I was worried the at the start the plot seemed to be about monsters scaring children with a "business as usual" attitude. But this is quickly halted as you discover that the monsters ...

Monsters incorperated is a very funny film, aimed at children but adults will like it to. its a unique story line and has a good twist at the end.

Advantages: Very entertaining. Disadvantages: Could do with being longer.
I have watched this film inside out and back to front over the past few years with my 2 children and it never get's boring. Its one of those films you can keep going back to time and time again. It's interesting enough to watch as an adult and fun enough to enjoy as a child, the recipe that Pixar seem to have nailed.
The quality of the graphics of this film is second to none. There is one particular scene in the film where the wind blows Sully's ... ...the wind, I am amazed every time I watch, it really is breathtaking quality.
Its an absolute must see movie for all ages from babies to pensioners!
It all starts with a scene of a monster creeping into a childs bedroom. It was at this point I wondered if it really was a kids film! The monster performing the 'scare' messes it up royally and ends up being scared by the child, who is no more than a mechanical dummy in a bed being controlled by a tentacled ...
