Great... But for kids?

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2001)

**Mild Spoilers** I thought this movie was great, plenty of laughs and amazing graphics... But was it really a kids movie? Personally, I think Randall was quite frightening, at least would be in the eyes of a child. And a machine which latches onto a child's face and sucks screams out of them? Sounds a bit too scary for kids to me. I talked to a few kids about this movie and what they thought. From what I gather, smaller children seem unaffected by it while the older ones (6 or 7 year olds) were frightened, by Randall especially.

But to those of us who aren't children, this movie is very amusing. I can't seem to stop imitating Boo and saying, 'Miiiiike Wazowski!' Its funny and it has heart. I thought it lost its charm a little towards the end when Mike and Sully are exiled and are in the cave with the Abominable Snowman. Once they returned to Monsters Inc., however, it got better.

Overall, I think this movie is worth seeing, but I'd think twice about whether or not my child is easily scared before bringing them to it. I give Monsters Inc. an 8/10.
