We scare because we care.

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2012)

The film may not be perfect, but it's jam-packed with goodies - like a breakfast cereal fun-pack with a prize on every box-top. Two monsters' (John Goodman and Billy Crystal) attempt to break the all-time record for scaring children after dark is halted when a little girl accidentally ends up in their world.
Monsters, Inc. is middle-ranking Pixar, enjoyable and achieving technological firsts with its detailed generation of the monsters' furry exteriors, but prone to easy sentiment; up until an inspired finale, the corporate corridors where much of the action takes place also seem too familiar and unimaginative an environment to sustain any visual wonder.
