Description: In order to
power the city, monsters have to scare children so that they scream. However,
the children are toxic to the monsters, and after a child gets through, two
monsters realize things may not be what they think.
Review: In Monstropolis monster live in all sizes, types and colors. They are
like people, they are funny, friendly, hard-working and driven. The world of
monsters also needs power and electricity. They get that energy from children’s
screams from those who are frightened at night. The children are visited
through a very special system of closet
doors at Monsters In., the largest scare factory of Monstropolis. The motto: We
scare because we care. Top scarer is James P. Sullivan, Sully for short. A big,
blue, fluffy horned monster with a heart of gold. His assistant, roommate and
best friend is Mike Wazowski. He is enthusiastic, headstrong, short-tempered
and has only one eye. Mike and Sully provide a record yield of energy. None of
the fellow monsters can match them. This is to great frustration of the cynical
chameleon Randall Boggs. Because he is jealous of their success, he does everything
to come out on top.
When the little, curious
human girl Boo accidentally sneaks into the monster world, it is the monsters
who are shocked. They think humans are toxic and dangerous. one touch can be
fatal. Sully and Mike are spooked too at first, but take Boo into protection. They
are determined to return the girl to her bedroom, which isn’t as easy as it
seems.
Still, to this day, “Monsters
Inc. is my favorite film from Pixar. It’s a creative film, in terms of story
and animation. Many monsters pass by, big, small, round, rectangular, many eyes,
one eye, teeth, scales, fur, all the colors of the rainbow, you name it. The
story is sweet, funny, exciting, action-packed. Perfect for the whole family.
Sully and Mike are voiced by
John Goodman and Billy Crystal and they couldn’t have found anyone more perfect
for those roles. Especially Crystal is hilarious as Mike, who also happens to
be my favorite Pixar sidekick.
“Monsters Inc.” is, as I
stated before, my favorite Pixar film. And the film entertains me every single
time I watch it.
