excellent!!

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2006)

In my opinion, the best animation movie ever made. Graphics may look "old" nowadays, but this is not the point. The story is based on a VERY clever concept, and the final result is very sweet. Monsters gain their energy consuming the cries of frightened children, and have developed methods and technology to "steal" it. The best "frightener" of the monsters has to deal with a... baby girl, that by accident enters the monsters' land, and ends up to treat her with love and care, and protects her from being seen, as babies are considered... health danger! Although the movie is full of clever humor, this is not its strong point against others like "Finding Nemo" or "Shrek 2": It's the story, the sweetness and the relation between the baby and the good monster that makes it an excellent film, not only for children! Highlight: The "making of" of the film, in which the "actors" make fun of each other, miss their words etc, as if they were real humans!
