Technically not as perfect as Nemo, but nicer story

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2004)

I missed this Pixar movie when it was playing on the big screen, so my review is based on the DVD version. The computer animation works beautifully, but where the movie really shines is the story. Who would have thought that the monsters are afraid of little boys and girls, but they have to hide in closets and scare little kids at night because their screams power the electric utility company of Monsterville. With the help of a little child that is not at all afraid of monsters, our two heroes uncover a conspiracy of grandest proportions, but that's all I will tell you here. After all, you should go out and rent the movie for yourself. Personally, I like Monsters Inc. better than Nemo, it's in a close tie with Shreck, and only second to Spirited Away in the animated category.
