A disappointment of monster proportions!

Rating: Null/10 (16 February 2002)

Toy Story it isn't. In fact, Monsters, Inc. doesn't measure up to any of the last three Disney/Pixar outings - except maybe in the animation stakes - and even then it isn't a significant leap forward.
Sure, the voice acting is great, and there are a couple of funny moments, but the plot is very weak (you'll guess the outcome well before the end of the movie) and the odd bit of great animation isn't going to change that.
Kids in the audience were audibly bored of the movie half way through, as was I.
Don't expect any jokes to appeal to the older members of the audience, as they did in "Toy Story" & "A Bug's Life", because this one, it seems, is aimed squarely at the kids.
I wondered why there was such a frenzied marketing hype surrounding this movie prior to its release, more so than the other Pixar films (which were masterpieces, in my humble opinion).
After seeing the movie, I now know why.
Rent or buy the other Pixar movies instead!
