Monsters Inc.
Monsters, Inc. combines the good hearted fun of Toy Story with a darker, more complex theme of monsters that scare children for a living. The film gives us a glimpse into a world where collecting screams is a factory job. Whether or not this will be too scary for a child depends on your toddler. Trevor didn't seem scared at all, but two separate families behind us left before the halfway mark. There are a lot of stories going on in Monsters, Inc. a contest for the record-holding scream collector, underhanded industrial secrets, a power crisis and a relationship in turmoil. There's even an underlying theme of the moral ramifications of exploiting another society for your gain pretty heavy stuff for an animated flick! Fantasy fans will love the wonderful door scene that does a great treatment of interdimensional travel. Monsters, Inc. offers enough slapstick to keep a three-year-old entertained, great animation in general, and plenty of amusement for the adults. And yes, I'll admit, the ending did put a tear in my eye. The film stars Billy Crystal as Mike Wazowski, John Goodman as Sulley, and Steve Buscemi as Randall Boggs. Behind your closet door, there's more than meets the eye!
