A Real Scream!

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 2001)

The Pixar animation company is very good at what they do. They always manage to keep up with the development of computer animation. And their latest masterpiece, "Monsters, Inc.," shows you how far they have come, and how excellent they are. This movie had a lot of laughs, and a few tender moments as well. It put a nice twist on an old childhood fear: what if the monster in your closet was afraid of you? I enjoyed a lot of in-jokes, including the use of animation legend Ray Harryhausen's name. The best character would have to be Randall, whose reptilian moves and chameleon color changing style were very well done. Pixar did the right thing by not including a "blooper reel" in the closing credits. Otherwise, they would have looked like they were trying to be like "A Bug's Life." Anyway, "Monsters, Inc." has left me satisfied, and eagerly awaiting their next work of digital art!
