Lovely, charming, FUNNY, and oddly moving.

Man, these Pixar guys are good.
I had missed Monsters Inc. in its theatrical release, but my wife LOVED it and had been literally counting the days down to the DVD release. We watched it together, and I know why.
Monsters Inc. is an absolute charmer, and manages to steer clear of cloying sentiment. I'll admit, much of my delight in this movie comes from being the father of a 2 year old who seems remarkably similar to "Boo", and I loved the convincing relationship between Sully and Boo.
And they chose a wonderfully understated ending. I loved it.
