Very good though not great film from Pixar with great humour and characters but problematic plot.

Monster inc may not be as good as the other pixar's movies but is still done in a brillant way with funny jokes and a great moral for all while appealing to the our past about the monster in the closet.

When you stop and consider the subject matter, you realise how gifted Pixar actually are in being able to turn a story about monsters hiding in children's closets to scare them into a funny and warm children's animation.

Imagine if Tim Burton has got his hands onto the story!

Monsters, Inc. looks great and tells a hugely original story, however I did find that the film largely relies heavily on slapstick jokes, for the younger audience, and lacks more subtle jokes for adult appreciation that some other children's animations do successfully integrate.

John Goodman is perfectly cast as the gentle Scarer Sully while Billy Crystal, voicing Mike, does become frustratingly annoying as the irritatingly talkative one of the pair.… Expand

With Monsters University coming out soon, I figured I'd do a quick review on the original. Like most Pixar movies, it really is good for both kids and adults. The plot is solid, although not as good as I've seen in other Pixar movies. TheWith Monsters University coming out soon, I figured I'd do a quick review on the original.

Another pixar classic with a great cast holding up the more average screenplay. Everything felt 'by the books' in terms of execution, for me, the best sequence was towards the end flying through the rollarcoaster of doors. I seem to rememberAnother pixar classic with a great cast holding up the more average screenplay. Everything felt 'by the books' in terms of execution, for me, the best sequence was towards the end flying through the rollarcoaster of doors. I seem to remember being blown away by the visuals when it came out, but in 2020 even sulleys fur seems rudimentary by todays standard.… Expand

Makes sense throughout the entire synopsis. Monsters, Inc. It believes what every character does to humans and what they do back to them but doesn't capture that good humor.

Well, my personal taste differs a little, there are some other films from this studio that I prefer and that I like more (Inside Out, Up and Wall-E are some of them), but that is a matter of personal taste and not properly a matter of merit. It's a great movie, worth watching as a family.

The script couldn't be better: the film takes us to a world parallel to ours, where the monsters of our childhood nightmares live. They have found a way to get in and out of our world through a machine, and harness the energy of frightened children's screams to generate electricity for their world. Sullivan and Mike are two monsters who share a good friendship and work together on this task, with Sullivan holding the record for scariest monster. However, things get out of hand when a human child ends up entering the world of monsters (they think children are toxic, and they poison everything they touch) and become very fond of the two friends, who now need to get rid of her.

The film has a very good cinematography, full of color, light and movement. The digital animation is excellent, creative, original (the details are the key to understanding the originality of the whole set) and very well done. As is the hallmark of this studio, very good actors were chosen to voice the various characters, starting with John Goodman and Billy Crystal. I also liked the participation of Steve Buscemi, who gave life to the villain, Randall, and Jennifer Tilly also deserves praise for her work here. The soundtrack, honestly, didn't add that much to the film, in my opinion, with the exception of a few occasional jazz tones.… Expand

It was actually rather good and interesting if you ask me. I enjoyed the film quite a bit. The only bad thing is that it can get rather boring towards the middle of the film but it ends perfectly.

Stupendo, ma leggermente peggio di quel che ricordassi.

Adoro i design di quasi ogni personaggio principale del film, memorabili e al punto giusto, così come la loro caratterizzazione. L'unica cosa è che la storia ha decisamente punti narrativi un po' stanchi (l'obbligatorio conflitto, per intenderci) e lo humor è un po' altalenante. Per capirci, è meglio di Toy Story, ma spanne sotto il secondo.

Consigliato? Yup.… Expand

La película nos presenta una trama muy original y una animación excelente; no es de las mejores de Pixar, pero sigue siendo una muy buena película.

Sully and Boo's relationship has some spark, but the supporting characters are unlikable (especially Mike) and the plot is just weak. One of my least favorite Pixar movies.

I am not a big fan of this movie. It tries to be adventurous but falls flat
