Monsters Inc - Movie Revie

Rating: 8/10 (5 April 2020)

Whilst Monsters Inc isn't one of my favourite Pixar films, it's still a wonderfully enjoyable time and I have a lot of good memories watching this as a child.
One of the best parts about it is definitely the voice acting. John Goodman and Billy Crystal as Sully and Mike give some of my favourite voice performances in any Pixar film. They are iconic in the roles, and the characters they portray are surprisingly great.
I loved the interaction between all of them, and the relationship between the monsters and Boo is extremely touching. There are a couple of scenes of genuine emotion, and the ending gets me every time I watch it. Whilst I can't say that it delivers a finalé as impactful as the ending of Toy Story 3, it was still very impactful.
The story of Monsters Inc isn't paced very well, but I really enjoyed the overall narrative and the journey that the characters went on. I find Randall to be one of the most underrated of Pixar's villains, and he brought a true menace to the scenes he was a part of. The musical score was also excellent, and the animation keeps improving with each of Pixar's films.
As you can tell, I really liked Monsters Inc, but it didn't do anything which made me say that the film was incredible. It was definitely great, but not one of Pixar's finest efforts.
