Peoples, INC.

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2001)

Monsters, INC. is a great movie that almost works at the same level the TOY STORY movies and SHREK does (I only compare it to them because it's an all computer animated film). Watching this movie I got increasingly jealous that I wasn't a kid. This is one of the cutest movies in HISTORY!!!!! The gags, while mostly for kids hold there own in the adult world, not as tightly as SHREK did, but it works. The sappiness of the movie is drained out by the pure charm of it. Every time I hear PIXAR is making a movie I get as excited as a Star Wars fan about EPISODE II (in which teaser trailer shows up here). While it probably won't turn as many heads as TOY STORY 2 and SHREK, it will be noticed. PIXAR is by far the MOST imaginative studio out there, they cover EVER corner of what would seem to be a CARTOON to make it it's own world! It was almost as if the writers had went into a closet that was left opened by a monster and explored their world and got to know every little crack and stain about the place, then came back here and made a movie about it. I don't want to talk about the goings on of the film because everything is such a sweet and intelligent surprise. Most of all, it should be noted that I was in the theater with a BUNCH of screaming, talking, loud children, and in any other case I would have been annoyed but MONSTERS, INC. put me in such a cute and loving mood that I couldn't wait to hear the next little kids say, "Is that man real?" MONSTERS, INC. ***1/2 (out of ****)
