Scaring up a few good screams is all in a night's work for the employees at Monstropolis' Scare Factory -- and nobody does it better than Sully and his best buddy Mike. It's dangerous work because there's nothing monsters fear more than a human child. When one of these terrifying creatures ends up back in Monstropolis, it's up to the buddies to get her home without getting in trouble ? but they'll have to foil a dastardly plot first. Big, good-natured Sully and tiny, excitable Mike are a perfect team of odd-couple pals, who find that adorable little girl Boo changes everything they thought they knew about humans and monsters alike.

Another masterpiece by PIXAR, I had more fun with it than with the overrated Shrek. Great animation, an original and funny story and the voices of Buscemi a John Goodman on top of that.

Surprisingly childish for Pixar; it lacks the adult element that would elevate it from an excellent children's film to family entertainment.

Funny story, lots of ideas, a snowman with lemon ice cream, incredibly cute Boo, slimy Randall, sweetly touching final scene, and one of the highlights that Pixar has managed to produce. The best fairy tales are always created where no one has dared to go yet. In a world of monsters that aren't so scary and where you're never sure where each door leads and who is waiting behind them.

An enchanting animated movie with a great story and great animation. Monsters, Inc. is intended exclusively for kids, but that makes it all the more magical and funny, unlike Shrek which goes way over the top in places. The whole idea about the doors is absolute genius and the final chase “between worlds" has perfect momentum and is delightfully done. The nicest character of the entire monster world is without a doubt Mike “Cyclops" Wazowski who has become a type of symbol of a good time.

The 4th Pixar Feature Film This is essentially perfect Pixar cuteness. Never mind all the unacknowledged inspiration from the "old" Little Monsters from 1989. The monsters will get to anyone who still has a remnant of a heart left in their body.

The ending is especially beautiful. One look at one digital furry face, one word… And what it does to a man and his tear ducts. Thanks Pixar.

Very childish, but also incredibly brilliant and original entertainment that it’s impossible not to love. The characters are all great, the pacing is thrilling and the excellent original premise is developed so precisely that there is no question of untapped potential (on the contrary, the filmmakers repeatedly surprised me with ideas that developed the story in rather unpredictable ways). Plus a truly fantastic Czech dubbing. 90%
