A Great Movie for Adults and Children

Rating: 10/10 (24 October 2013)

I have watched this every time it has been on TV/cable. This cartoon movie is a comedy, a drama and an action adventure flick with touching scenes and a feel good story, all in one. On top of all this, this fantastic story opens up a parallel universe of the closet monsters and how they, who terrified us, really feel about us. Despite the fact that it is a cartoon, you would be hard pressed to find a more intelligence in a movie script. After watching it, you could want to view it again to appreciate this movie to the fullest.
We follow monsters employed by an energy company to create energy by coming out of children's closets and terrifying them. The screams and terror of the victim children are converted into energy and help to power the town they live in, Monstropolis a town in the parallel universe of monsters.
We focus on several monsters in the fairly large cast of monsters, James Sullivan (Sully voiced by John Goodman), Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) and Randall Boggs (Steve Buscerni) and Henry Watanoose (James Coburn). We follow these characters and their in and out of the parallel universe of monsters/human world, and we focus on their encounter with Boo (Mary Gibbs) a cute little girl and scare victim of Randall Boogs.
The movie eventually turns into an action/adventure flick as we uncover certain evil doings with a touch of "My Bodyguard" in the main climax scene. Like the ending of "My Bodyguard", you get a charged happy feeling from this. There is also some touching scenes and final changes to the world of the monsters that is hinted throughout the movie, that only a good writer could have developed. I have scene this movie numerous times, and never get tired of it, despite knowing the ending so well.
