The amazing folks at Pixar have done it again with this witty, warm and wonderful CGI cartoon about the scary, hairy nocturnal beasts that lurk in our closets and under our beds.
Monsters, Inc. takes place in a parallel monster world where electrical power is generated through the bottled screams of Earth's children. Unfortunately, since kids have become jaded and harder to scare, a serious energy crisis has developed. But big, burly, blue-furred, horn-headed Sulley (voice of John Goodman)--the top scare-maker at the electric utility plant--has a bigger problem: a giggly little girl, who isn't afraid, has slipped into the monster's world through a closet door left open. Sulley and his best pal (a squat, green, one-eyed walking pool ball voiced by Billy Crystal) have to sneak the toddler back home before anyone finds out because, you see, monsters are deathly afraid of children! Blessed with an infinite reserve of hilarious comical asides and a refreshingly original screenplay, this marks another amazing leap forward in computer-generated cartoon realism. Definitely recommended.
