If Monsters at Work doesn't quite capture the magic of the original film, it's charming and silly enough to entertain fans of all ages.

Monsters At Work will reward long-time fans of this franchise with familiar characters, callbacks, and more time in the intriguing world of Monstropolis. Unfortunately, all it nails about this world is superficial, and not even appropriately rendered. Go to Full Review

As someone who loves the films, I wonder ... do we need more of it? The films are so well self-contained. This feels like an excess of something we don't really need." Go to Full Review

"Monsters at Work" isn't on the same level as the two feature films, but it's miles ahead of the likes of "The Return of Jafar" or "Kronk's New Groove." Go to Full Review

Tyler L @Tyler131 Jan 13 A fun show with lots of charm and overall just fun. See more David C @David617 Aug 27 Es entretenida aunque son muy cortos los capítulos See more SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch 12/18/2024 "Monsters at Work," the animated series from Disney and Pixar available on Disney+, has now entered its second season. I wanted to take the opportunity to discuss both seasons and share my thoughts on the evolution of these beloved characters. First off, Tyler is a fantastic addition to the Monsters, Inc. universe, which was already rich and vibrant. His character experiences remarkable growth throughout the first season, making it exciting to see how he continues to develop in the follow-up season. However, season two feels a bit less engaging compared to the first. While Tyler still brings a lot to the table, it seems like there are missed opportunities for his character. I believe he has the potential to transition into a feature film alongside Mike and Sully. While he may not carry a movie on his own just yet, pairing him with the franchise's mainstays could elevate his status and make him a more recognized character. The series is enjoyable, but it doesn't seem to be receiving the attention it deserves to elevate these new characters to their full potential. In the first season, viewers quickly fall in love with the fresh characters introduced, although it's hard not to miss Boo, a key figure from the original film. Her absence is felt, especially since she wasn't featured in "Monsters University," so it would be great to see her character grow alongside Tyler. I truly believe Tyler could be a torchbearer for the franchise moving forward, but it would be ideal to see these stories expanded beyond the 30-minute episodes and into a full-length movie so that a wider audience can experience their journey. As for the second season, it's good but does feel somewhat rushed and less polished. It hasn't captured my excitement in the same way the first season did. I'm still watching and engaged, but I find myself disappointed that the series feels somewhat sidelined. I would love to see the show embrace a quicker, more comedic style, similar to what made the first two films so engaging. While it's still an enjoyable series, it lacks re-watchability. Once an episode is over, there isn't much incentive to revisit it, which is a significant drawback. I believe they need to make some changes to enhance the overall experience. See more MrEpic 1 @MrEpic 12/02/2024 A good sequel series to the Monsters Inc Franchise, but should have focused on Mike and Sully instead of new characters we've never seen before. See more Nero Z @NeroZashi92 05/07/2024 This show was awesome and I was excited to hear there was going to be another season 👍🏻 See more Stacy H @RT32382710 04/25/2024 It was cute and had some charm. Obviously it’s not as fantastic as the movies are but it’s good in its own right. See more Read all reviews
