The uses of enchantment haven't changed; kids still need, maybe more than ever, the special comfort of fabulous threats they can control.

Monsters, Inc. is another in a long line of Pixar films that show how an animated motion picture can be great entertainment, but also so much more.

Unflappably great; a clinic in world-building, character development, voice acting and voice casting, storytelling and balancing animation for kids and adults; an emotional, unforgettable roller coaster...

A Pixar classic. It continued the studio’s streak on incredible creativity, with one of Pixar’s smartest concepts yet. Mike and Sully are up there with Woody and Buzz as Pixar’s greatest duo, and Boo is adorable, man. It’s just one of their best.

Mais um filme incrível que pode ser acrescentando às obras de arte da Pixar sem dúvida nenhuma, trazendo uma história nova, misturando monstros que, ao invés de assustarem, divertem o público de todas as idades.
