Monsters, Inc.
I love Pixar. Which is probably pretty apparent since I already have hosted a Pixar Hall of Fame. But there's something about their style, their animation, their characters, their music, and everything that else that bring them right to the top of Animation Studios. Sure they've made garbage films (looking at you Brave and Cars Franchise), but most of their movie are totally amazing and Monsters, Inc. is no exception. Pete Docter behind Andrew Stanton is my favorite animated director, and Monsters, Inc. was his "sort-of" debut, since of course he wasn't the only director, and of course he had worked with Pixar before that as well. But it is truly a masterpiece in my eyes. The voice acting is great, Billy Crystal is perfect for Mike and John Goodman is great as Sully. Boo is adorable even though I'm not a huge fan of children in animation. It's funny, colorful, heartwarming, just everything you would expect from a Pixar movie. It doesn't do anything out of the ordinary for Pixar, which is why it's not my favorite of their movies. But it's a film that checks all the boxes of what you'd expect from a Pixar movie. I don't expect this to win, but it certainly deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame in my eyes.
