'Monsters, Inc.' is one of Pixar's best known and most widely popular movies - an endearing and highly likeable family movie bursting with ideas and imagination. Though not one of Pixar's best and not a personal favourite of mine, I did get a lot of enjoyment out of this movie, especially the characters, which are all brilliantly unique, entertaining and genuinely funny.The storyline, as enjoyable as it is, is not on the same level as the likes of 'Toy Story' and 'Up'. I always get the feeling I'm watching something special with those movies, but I think 'Monsters, Inc.', for all its creativity and likeability, lacks that special quality to put it up there with the very best animated pictures. That said, judging it on its own merits, this is a great animated family movie and one of those movies that is just impossible to dislike.

This is a really great movie premise, and very well executed. One can't help but fall in love with the characters, and thankfully the voicing was perfect. The animation was amazing and this is a film that will appeal to a young and mature demographic. The Monsters Inc corporation itself was an amazing undertaking and very well laid out. This is one of my favorite animation films.

In a world full of monsters of all kinds, where all the power came from children's screams, a select few had the job of going into the human world to scare the little ones. Everything seems as normal as it can be for that place, until one day, a human child enters the monster world and is hidden by the two protagonists who don't actually know how to get rid of her fast enough before the authorities catches them all.It's a one of a kind story which presents the adventures of two monsters who worked at the power factory and unwillingly get a human child at their feet. Being seen as toxic for the monster world, the child must be sent back to her world as soon as possible before the two get into trouble. Thus a cavalcade of funny and suspenseful action sequences emerge in their desperate attempt to make things right. As you might expect, not everything goes according to plan as they're about to find out a big scheme which might put their lives into peril.As said before, it's full of action, thrill, emotion and comedy, managing to keep the bar raised throughout the movie. It looks great, it has a very good plot, it's very entertaining, so you'll definitely have a very good time watching it. It is also pretty unpredictable, thus being able to provide a satisfying finale. Everything is good and very good about it, but also not extraordinary, so it receives a big thumbs up and a great recommendation from my side.

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.
