    Great kid movie!!! worth waching

    LOVE and so does the whole family. WE can't stop laughing. A little scary at some parts with the kidnapping of Boo, but in the end it is all so so cute. The monsters turn out not to be so scary as thought to have been and the kids love monsters now and they have even wanted Sully or Mike to come into there room. Great Kid movie. Love your monsters!!!

    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence

    pritty good

    tis movie is cute, funny, orignal,... but bare in mind kids that are under 5 might not understand the movie and probably will find it scary especially if that child is easily scared or is under the age of 4.

    My concerns are:
    • Negative message

    Generally good, but not great

    Parents will want to discuss why, at the end of the movie, when the plant was closing and workers' job were threatened, the workers didn't organize to operate the plant collectively, but allowed Sullivan to (mysteriously) become CEO.

    Monsters Inc review

    Children might be scared at the beginning of the movie, but when it gets toward the end, it starts to get funnier.

    AMAZING! Another spectacular film by Pixar!

    This film might prove to be a bit too scary for your yongsters, mainly due to the fact that we are dealing with monsters who's job is to make little children scream. One particular scene with a "Scream Machine" is rather on the disturbing side. If you cna get around that, this is an amazing film. I reccomend it highly to EVERYONE aged 6 and older!

    My 4 year old son was scared when he saw the monsters trying to scare the kids, even though he knew the monsters were nice. I think it seemed scary to him to think of being in the kids' place. He has woken us up 4 nights in a row saying he was scared of Monsters Inc., but not about anything specific. Just "the scaring."

    Fun and Charming Film for Everyone!

    MONSTERS INC. tells the story of two monsters who live in a world just outside the closet. Best friends Mike (an always hilarious Billy Crystal) and Sully (John Goodman) work at Monster's Inc. They earn their living by scaring kids. The childrens' screams build up in canisters and provide enegery to Monster City. Humans are believed to be toxic. But when a little girl Sully names Boo comes into Monster City through her closet door, Sully and Mike was work against the schemeing Randall to get her back home. There are some scenes involving Boo in peril that might frighten little kids. There is no language or sex at all. Highly recommended.

    A charming story -- some scary parts need reassuring parental presence

    This is a charming story. Boo captures the energy and unconditional acceptance of a preschooler is a charming way. Sully and Mike are great pals and support each other through thick and thin. My 2.5 year old loves the movie but does get scared and has added the phrase scary monsters to his vocabulary. I highly recommend that parents stay with their kids as they watch and reassure them that the monsters will not get them. In a strange way this movie has helped with fears. My son talks about what is and what is not scary now.

    Great movie...

    This is a great movie, nothing too scary, great for young and old alike. There is one part when they are on doors and it looks like they may fall, that scared my at the time 5 year old and it was 2 years before he would watch the movie again. But then again my 4 year old loves the movie and didn't have a problem. So it depends on your child. Except for the one part above, nothing else bothered my kids. We have the DVD and my children watch it all the time (now that the 7 year old got over the falling part).

    pretty good but might scare little ones

    one character has the life sucked out of him! I really liked this movie when I was a kid, but I understand why some kids might get scared. Monsters roar, and yeah... It's a little scary but it's another success.

    two mean words and a little bit of peril which is the fighting the scary parts are not that creepy when you get used to them but there is some marketing and eating at food places in monsters inc no kissing but there is some sexy stuff between girl monsters and when they eat they sometime have big monsters have wine and all cinds of drinks that 18 year olds have that are not for kids but not the bad ones that make you sick only the ones the make kids sick

    best pixar yet!

    I think monsters inc. is a film of magic and surprises. It's a little scary because there jobs are to scare children. But, i love it!

    Pixar's Monsters Inc.

    I love this movie on of the best Pixar movies, it is funny and the ending is good. It is very good and highly recommend for children! The movie is about Monsters, young children might be scared to watch it at first but it isn't scary, just little children watch it without knowing it is about monsters.

    Great movie, but may be scary for young ones.

    This is a cute movie. It's about a monster named Sully and his friend named Mike and they work at Monsters Incorporated. It's the monsters' jobs to scare kids. So, this might be a little scary when a child sees a monster coming up from the shadows of a kid's bedroom and scares the kid, if your child is sensitive to these things. The kids scream in terror when they're scared, so kids may be frightened about that too. Anyway, Sully finds a human girl and eventually becomes her friend. I don't want to spoil the rest, but it ends wonderfully. Despite the scary parts, kids will enjoy this movie.

    I really liked it!

    I thought this film was a little bit sad in some parts (i could feel the emotions deep in my heart) but at the same time it was bright and heartwarming. The little girl (Boo) is so cute and sweet. I like how she changes the monsters' feelings towards humans.

    Boo!

    Monsters Inc. is a faboulous Disney/Pixar movie! The cute little girl Sulley names her "Boo" comes into the movie when Sulley sees that there is a door open on the Scare Floor of teh Monsters Inc. buliding! Then Boo go's round causing mayhem! Then towards the end Boo is taken back to her room and the monsters don't scare kids any more...they make them laugh! But Boo has been returned to the human world. Will Sulley and the rest see Boo ever again?
