It's not Shrek...but it sure is cute

Rating: Null/10 (4 November 2001)

Shrek was put together excellently in every aspect. Visually, Monsters Inc. is also very stunning. While I was watching it, I couldn't help but notice the completely realistic fur on Sully. But that's the problem, the movie didn't really grab my interest...if I'm staring at something like camera angles, lighting or computer effects, the chances are that it's not utterly brilliant and superb. I do have to admit though that I had laughs throughout the movie (not as much as there was in Shrek) and I also couldn't help myself to adoring the little girl "Boo". When you're adoring a little computer generated kid, it may be lame, but at least you know that the people at Pixar did a pretty good job putting it together. And being a woman (estrogen-filled), there's also a lot of cute things that you just can't stop saying "awwww" too or shedding a tear.
The one thing I really noticed though was that my 4-year-old nephew was laughing to death and I was not. As oppose to Shrek where I was laughing to death and he was not. Do you see the difference in comedy?

Bottom line: It's fun for kids and it's not going to kill you to see it, so it wouldn't hurt to watch Monsters Inc.
