Monsters, Inc. Movie Review Summary

Actors: John Goodman, Billy Crystal

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Monsters, Inc.


In this computer generated animation, John Goodman is the voice of a large, blue monster whose responsibility it is to pop out of closets and scare small children. The closet he comes out of is selected by a monster bureaucracy- he gets assignments and goes through magical teleporting doors to the childs room. The purpose of this scaring is to collect childrens screams, which the monsters use to generate power. In a funny twist, monsters can be killed (supposedly) by one touch from a kid.

John Goodman's character captures a little girl when his adversary leaves a teleportation door on the "scare floor". He finds out that the kid is not poisonous, and with the help of his partner (Billy Crystal) he goes on a mission to get the child home, all the while fighting his nemisis, a huge geko that can become invisible.

In this charming animated comedy from Disney/Pixar, we found out more about the monsters in our cupboards. Monsters, Inc. is the largest scare factory in the monster world. Using children's screams, they power the city. Children aren't as scared as they used to be, so there is a power shortage. Monsters, meanwhile, are scared of children, because they consider them toxic. Sulley is the top scarer at Monsters, Inc., but when he accidently lets a little girl into the monster world, everyone becomes chaotic. Now, he must bring her back. While the race is on to bring her home, Sulley becomes more attached to the girl, and names her Boo. Dispite this being annoying to his best friend, Mike, he still helps him. A chameleon-like monster decides to stop them from bringing her home. This film is funny and fresh, and the animation is incredible. The way the Pixar artists make fur, and clothing is incredible. Billy Crystal, who missed a chance to play Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story is brilliant as Mike, with Steve Busceimi having great fun as the villain.
