Standard Issue from Pixar, But That's Not a Bad Thing

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2010)

In the wake of such spectacular Pixar films like "The Incredibles" and "Wall-E," "Monsters, Inc." feels like pretty standard stuff. But even Pixar's standard fare is better than many other things you could be watching, so it's definitely worth a look-see.
John Goodman and Billy Crystal are the comedy duo who play our two main monsters as a sort of Bert and Ernie. There are the usual abundance of one-liners and sight gags, and as always with a Pixar movie there's enough to entertain both the adults and their kiddies.
Randy Newman composed the score and the film's title song, "If I Didn't Have You," which finally won him the damn Oscar after about a bazillion nominations.
Grade: A-
