Not essential, but worthwhile

Rating: 8/10 (22 March 2020)

Monster's Inc is one of the early Pixar gems. I had been worried this would be an utter mess, but thankfully it's not bad. The only complaint is that the storyline is a little underwhelming. You don't need the film to enjoy the better Monster's Inc. This feels like a corporate push into series building, much like Cars. The film lacks the heart of the first film, but it's interesting if you're a fan of the series.
