Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is actually the first movie I remember watching in the cinema. How wild is that? I remember the cinema, that I went with my grandmother, where we sat, what it was like watching the film. It was a wild experience.

Monsters Inc. is in my top 5 of Pixar films, because the creativity behind it is truly great. The story created around this power station creating energy from child screams is unique and engaging. The characters is relatable due to the similarity between this work place and those from the real world. Humans are dangerous according to the monsters, but the child Boo accidentally enters their world and is discovered by one of the main characters, Sully, who tries to hide her whilst finding a way to return her to the human world. This makes way for really fun moments in the development of the main conflict in the movie and eventually an emotional core which is both sweet, engaging and real. The movie is great and a must to watch along with the other Pixar greats.

MONSTERS INC - 2001Directed by ​Pete Docter, Lee Unkrich & David SilvermanStarring Billy Crystal, John Goodman and Steve BuscemiPlot Overview: ​Monsters Incorporated is the largest scare factory in the monster world, and James P. Sullivan (John Goodman) is one of its top scarers. Sullivan is a huge, intimidating monster with blue fur, large purple spots and horns. His scare assistant, best friend and roommate is Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), a green, opinionated, feisty little one-eyed monster. Visiting from the human world is Boo (Mary Gibbs), a tiny girl who goes where no human has ever gone before.This movie is a definitive representation of Pixar Standard, back in their golden age. I am confident it will become an animated classic, and rightfully so. It is rare for a movie to come out that is so original, creative and imaginative. The voice acting is amazing, especially from Crystal and Goodman. The animation is great. My main flaw with the movie is how awful the plot is.It's a paper thin plot that features way too many 'twists and turns' to make it interesting. I don't know a SINGLE person who says they were interested by the plot of this movie. I don't. My adoration for this film stems from the colourful characters, not an overly complicated plot about power shortages. Two things that are kinda plot related that I do like, however, are are the climax and the final scene of the movie. The climax for this movie is an insanely fun ride and it is just so creative in how it is handled. Then the final scene of this movie. I mean damn it is a punch to the stomach. I'm not spoiling anything but I mean, damn Pixar. Why. Don't do this to me.As far as performances go, this movie is very strong. Billy Crystal gives one of my favourite Pixar performances as Mike Wazowski and is the standout of this film. He is consistently funny and Crystal showed some impressive range in emotion delivered. John Goodman is also excellent as Sully and provided as strong, authoritative presence to the role. Steve Buscemi is great as Randall and makes him one of my favourite Pixar villains, easily. James Coburn was alright as Waterloose but I really did not find his character interesting in the slightest. The design on him was amazing though. Boo is a cute character and serves her purpose so I can't really praise nor fault her. For the time of this film's release, the animation is exceptional. Seriously, it looks fantastic for the time. I absolutely love the character design for all the characters. Each and everyone is unique and hints at the characters personality without requiring them to speak much at all. One minor flaw with the animation is that Boo looks like a plastic doll. She doesn't look human at all. I understand there were limitations at the time but it is sill a flaw. It is a well shot and edited movie. Comedy wise, this is probably one of Pixar's funniest. The humour is genuinely good and that primarily comes down to Crystal's impressive performance and vocal talent. As far as emotional payoff goes, this movie also succeeds. The last scene is all I need to refer to because that scene is Pixar punching me in the stomach continuously. It is very well done.This movie is a prime example of what Pixar is capable of. It is funny with good emotional payoff, it has great animation, great vocal performances and a fantastic premise. It truly is an exceptional movie. I'll rate Monsters Inc 9 Googlybears out of 10!

Monsters Inc. does for monsters what Toy Story did for toys. Yet another Disney top animation that my kids and I can see over and over again, and a classic that should be in everyone's DVD collection. I feel Disney has mastered pairing up the voice actors with their animated characters, and in this case, an excellent choice casting Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Mary Gibbs and Steve Buscemi. Loved this animation and it's a perfect 10/10 from me!
