Monstres & Cie

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% (24/09/2011)

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. (09/11/2006)

Surprisingly childish for Pixar; it lacks the adult element that would elevate it from an excellent children's film to family entertainment. (17/04/2005)

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. (28/09/2003)

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.
