Adorable

I have to be honest with you. At this point, Pixar Studios could make a movie about a guy reading a phone book and I'd go. They seem to be the last animation studio these days that has FUN animating. There appears to be an unwritten rule now that you have to take animation way too seriously. God forbid you have fun making cartoons, right?
Okay, end of mini-rant. Now, while "Monsters Inc." isn't as downright *perfect* as the "Toy Story" movies, it's very close. It's about on par with "A Bug's Life". And with all that said, I have to say that this is one of the most charming and imaginative movies of the year. The visuals are particularly amazing (the chameleonic Randall is a stunner, and check out the great lost visual gag from "Terminator 2" towards the climax), so expect this to become a huge cult hit on video.
