Now here's a story children and adults can relate too. Monsters in the closet., 12 December 2001
Author:

While monsters in the closet may seem to be a scary reality for some
children, `Monsters, Inc.' makes it light hearted by showing them it's all
in a night's work. The characters are as charming as the cast that speaks
for them.
It's a learning experience children get to see how an industry works.
Monsters, Inc. is an in-genius corporation that has scientifically learned
how to channel children's screams into energy that is used for electrical
power. It has monster employees, an assembly line of doors (which give
monsters access to children's bedrooms), a top-flight training program and
some of the top Monsters in the scaring business.
There's a colorful Metropolis, filled with houses, buildings, businesses,
cars and everything that makes a city run smoothly along with a population
of colorful creatures. One of the colorful groups of creatures is the
yellow swat team. Their job is to protect the Metropolis of Monsters,
Inc.
from human contamination.
But what happens when a human child mysteriously gets through the bedroom
door and terrorizes the city with screams and boo's. It's wondrous and
funny. In the mist of all this is industrial crime, brought on by greed.
But, the story ends on a very happy note.
John Goodman is the voice of `Sulley' a colorful large blue-green ape like
monster who's the star Monsters, Inc. employee. He's some type of
monster,
cut, cuddly, and he has a conscience that leads him to feelings of regret
about scarring children. He becomes attached to Boo (voice of Mary Gibbs)
a
cute, little big-eyed girl who is mysteriously brought to Monsters, Inc.
and
in his quest to return her home becomes very attached to
her.
Sulley's best friend is Mike (voice of Billy Crystal) who's a funny
looking
green ball with stick legs and one huge eye. His comedy is seen through
out
the movie. Mike is Sulley's driving force, acting as his agent. Mike's
job
is to make sure Sulley remains the top Monsters, Inc. employee. But when
it
comes to laughter Mike proves he's on top.
Mike's girl friend Celia (voice of Jennifer Tilley) is the stylish
employee
who has Mike's best interest at heart. Her job is to keep him out of
trouble.
I give Monsters, Inc. a ten. It is an animated movie that can be enjoyed
by
the whole family. It makes for great family fun.
