Connor Macgregor Reviews...Monsters.Inc
After going through The Two Toy Story films, i felt that I should explore the house for more Pixar Films. i only found one and it was Monsters Inc.
In the world behind our closet doors, monsters like Mike and Sulley work hard for their income. To be exact, the monster world depends on our children's screams: It is their energy that makes lightbulbs glow and cars drive. Big companies like Monsters, Inc. collect the scream energy, and many monsters work there in shifts. In these times, it is getting harder and harder to shock the kids properly, since they're so spoiled by television, so that there's an energy shortage in the monster world.
Sulley, the number one frightener, one day accidentally lets a human child into the monster world. Since kids are supposed to be poisonous and carry loads of diseases, pandemonium ensues. After Mike and Sulley discover that the girl they named Boo actually seems quite harmless, they decide to bring her back through her door into her room. But Boo's presence is more than just a mere accident. Now, Mike and Sulley have to face an enemy within their own ranks.
While in my eyes it is nowhere near Toy Story, Monsters Inc is a very very enjoyable film. It takes a very simple concept or idea and turns it into its own world which The Writers of Pixar never dissapoint. The two leads Mike & Sully are a excellent double act and really are the stars of the show.
Billy Crystal`s voice work as Mike is just laugh out loud clever. John Goodman is great as Sully and you do feel for the character when she has to take up Boo and take care of it in this unknown world. I also love the fact that The Monsters are scared of the Children, that is just a great gag.
Overall not the best pixar movie, but certainly one to check out.
Rating - 76% - B+
