Movie Reviews of Monsters, Inc. Qv (Frn)
Movie Review: 'Monsters' Is a Scream!
Summary: 5 Stars
Monsters Inc. is a delightfully funny film by Pixar and Disney. Released in 2001, Monsters, Inc. reflects the modern human world in many ways, with production quotas, rolling blackouts, and families and children in bustling Monsteropolis.
Almost an Abbott and Costello film, Sully & his assistant and best friend, Mike Wazowski. Randall is Sully's greatest competitor, a scaly, evil chameleon with greed at his heart.
Sully does the scaring of children through doors that when connected to children's bedroom closets become a doorway into the human dimension. Energy is collected from the screams and powers the Monsteropolis.
But kids are not getting as scared as they used to. To increase the quota, there is corruption and intrigue afoot, which is realistic for an animated film.
The adult gags and references, such as Harryhausen's Restaurant, are fun to see. Also, with children being seen as a threat to Monster-dom, there are great penalties for even the slightest contamination from the child's world. A sock on one unlucky monster's back is enough for panic by the yellow squad of the CDA: Child Detection Agency.
The animators and writers made Randall the complete opposite of Sully. Where Sully is kind, intelligent and gentle, Randall is sly, secretive and evil. Randall will stop at nothing to get his own ends.
The one-eyed Mike is fun to watch and see how the animators give a one-eyed guy such emotion. He's pretty silly too where he just doesn't get what people are trying to say to him.
Crime does not pay and making lemonade out of lemons are good lessons for kids.
The "blooper" reel at the end is great, and the jazz music is well done.
Great entertainment from Disney.

Summary of Monsters, Inc. Qv (Frn)
From the Academy Award(R)-winning creators of TOY STORY comes the computer-animated film that captured the hearts of fans and critics everywhere. MONSTERS, INC., is "visually dazzling, action-packed, and hilarious" (Boston Herald), featuring groundbreaking animation, imaginative storytelling, and unforgettable voice talent. John Goodman stars as the lovable James P. Sullivan (Sulley) and Billy Crystal as his wisecracking best friend, Mike Wazowski. Top scarer Sulley and his enthusiastic Scare Assistant Mike work at Monsters, Inc., the largest scream-processing factory in Monstropolis. The main power source of the monster world is the collected screams of human children. Monsters believe children are dangerous and toxic, however, and they are scared silly when a little girl wanders into their world. Sulley and Mike do their best to return the girl home, but they face monstrous intrigue and some hilarious misadventures along the way. MONSTERS, INC., is "supremely clever -- fun for kids and adults alike" (CBS-TV). Treat yourself to the most entertaining movie of the year with all-new exclusive bonus features and animation for monster laughs and monster fun.The folks at Pixar can do no wrong with Monsters, Inc., the studio's fourth feature film, which stretches the computer animation format in terms of both technical complexity and emotional impact. The giant, blue-furred James P. "Sulley" Sullivan (wonderfully voiced by John Goodman) is a scare-monster extraordinaire in the hidden world of Monstropolis, where the scaring of kids is an imperative in order to keep the entire city running. Beyond the competition to be the best at the business, Sullivan and his assistant, the one-eyed Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), discover what happens when the real world interacts with theirs in the form of a 2-year-old baby girl dubbed "Boo," who accidentally sneaks into the monster world with Sulley one night. Director Pete Doctor and codirectors David Silverman and Lee Unkrich follow the Pixar (Toy Story) blueprint with an imaginative scenario, fun characters, and ace comic timing. By the last heart-tugging shot, kids may never look at monsters the same, nor artists at what computer animation can do in the hands of magicians. --Doug Thomas
