Alright now let's take a look at the one that has a sequel coming up next year. Here's Pixar review #7: Monsters, Inc.
Plot: In the world of monsters, the scariest monsters work in a company called Monsters Incorporated, where they use doors to go through the human world and scare children in order to create power for the monster world using their screams. The monsters believe that children are toxic to the point where a single touch can kill a monster. But when a child gets into the Monster world by scarer Sully and with the company and the monster world in chaos, it's up to him and his best friend Mike to bring the kid back to the human world before they're caught.
Straight forward, this is a very clever movie. Takes the idea about monsters in kid's closets to a totally different idea and point of view. The one issue I have is the whole scare record thing. I fee like they didn't elaborate too much about that. is it a record for most scream throughout a monsters life? or most screams in a month? year? how does it work? But anyway, that's just one little issue throughout the entire film. The rest is just a clever idea with some fun characters, cute moments when it comes to Boo, and some pretty good comedy. It's easily another one of Pixar's enjoyable film.
Characters:
Sully: Sometimes I think of sully as the kind version of The Beast in Beauty and the Beast. Because as we saw when we was scaring a kid, he can be a heck of a...well...monster, and I do think of The Beast practically every time I see his horns because they're probably exactly the same. But anyway, Sully was a kind hearted, friendly monster who didn't give, up. Easily a lovable character.
Mike: I heard it said that Billy Crystal (the actor who did the voice for Mike) was one his favorite characters if not his all time favorite that he has ever done. I don't know if he did say that, but it's understandable if he did. Mike was very funny with all those ways making Boo laugh and how he doesn't notice stuff like being covered or something when he's on TV or on a cover of a magazine. All around one character that was a lot of fun for families to watch.
Music: I admit that "If I didn't have you" is a very nice song. Did it deserve winning best original song? maybe. I admit I would've personally liked "May it be" winning, but that's the Lord of the Rings fan in me.
And that's my review for Monsters, Inc. It's a clever film with a lot of fun for families to enjoy. What the upcoming prequel will bring? We'll just have to wait and see.
