MONSTERS INC.

stars billy crystal, john goodman
4/5

the good ol' disney/pixar combination - unfortunate though that now their partnership as been dissolved. ahh well. "monsters inc." follows sully (goodman) and mike (crystal) as they approach a record-breaking level of scaring kids. see, they need to the screams from children in the human world to provide electricity to their own world - the monster world.

the turning point for the film is when a human child unwittingly enters the monster world, and all hell breaks loose. as sully and mike try to hide the child from the rest of their world, randall (steve buschemi) is plotting a scheme of monstrous proportions (lame pun, i know).

this is a light-hearted comedy that also plays with the emotions a bit. the animation is crisp and colourful, and the voice performances by all the cast are amazing. and if you're watching it on dvd, there's the dts sound that makes it all the more sweeter.
