Terrific. Beats Shrek any day of the week too...

Rating: Null/10 (19 September 2002)

I was impressed by this one. The animation is so good, you forget at times that you are watching animation. Sully was as 3D a bloo fuzzy monster as any you will ever see; the relationship with 'Boo' oddly moving indeed. I enjoyed the ending too-it was done the way it needed to be, and surprisingly well, too.
Door Chase, Cliff Clavin as 'the Abominable', Buscemi's baddie(here I was thinking it was John Legeuizmo(sp?) the whole time, etc all very well done too.
You aren't hit over the head with 'Hey-I'm an Ironic Icon bashing pop-cultural referencing Great movie done by Outsiderss!' anvils ala Shrek the whole way thru either.
Shrek was fun-don't get me wrong-but Oscar blew it bigtime here.
Monsters Inc is the one to see and keep. It will stand the test of time too.
