Monsters, Inc.

You would have to be devoid of a soul not to enjoy this spirit lifting piece of genius from Disney and Pixar Studios. Sulley and Mike (voiced by John Goodman and Billy Crystal) are two hard working Joes making their living by scaring the kiddies to keep the power working in monsterland. When Sulley inadvertently allows a human child to enter his world, all hillarious tarnation breaks loose and the laughs follow. Steve Buscemi voices the evil Randall Boggs with such skill one might be guilty of suspecting he's not acting at all! This is all I want to tell you about the plot, and trust me, this film has story development out the whazoo making one wonder why it is they can't find scripting like this for live action films these days. The animation, though computer generated, is a meal for the peepers and with "cameos" from Frank Oz and John Ratzenberger mixed with fine support work from James Coburn, Jennifer Tilly ( who is down right spook town sexy as Celia )and Bob Peterson, you will be pleasantly surprised at just how many levels this film works on. Director and co-writer Pete Docter and his crew have an achievement here to be very, very proud of and not to take anything at all away from Goodman or Crystal but this may be their finest work to date. Add this to your must see list even if you don't have kids!
