When a little girl is released into an unknown world, chaos ensues...

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2005)

Pixar have, it seems, done it again. Coupled with breath-taking animation and a superb storyline, Monsters, Inc. has achieved something truly incredible- a film able to entertain not only children, but those 'over the hill' too.
The basic plot is that there is another universe, full of the monsters that one sees in childhood hiding under your bed or in your closet. These monsters go to all different parts of the world through portals in the doors to be able to scare the children, and in return collect the children's screams, as it is, for them, a form of energy. But chaos ensues when a little girl is accidentally let into the Monster World, and a more sinister plan is revealed...
The voice acting, for one, is superb, with each character's personality shining through magnificently. The actors were chosen well, with John Goodman as the cheery James P. Sullivan, and Billy Crystal providing the voice of the marmite-esquire character Mike Wazowski. (Marmite because you either love his quirky jokes, or hate his boastful nature.) Also, a kudos has to be given to Steve Buscemi for playing the sinister, yet, in my opinion, weirdly lovable character of Randall Boggs- his voice fits perfectly.
All in all, this film is definitely not one to be missed, and deserved all of the praise it has received.
