movie review - Monsters Inc
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Vancouver, 2001.11.20
This is an animated flick from Pixar. It stars the voices of John Goodman and Billy Crystal as monsters who work for the power company. Their job is to travel to the bedrooms of human children (via closet doors) and scare them. The cries of the children are then captured and converted into energy in the monster's world.
All is well with this setup until a devious colleague (Steve Buscemi doing his second 'voice' role this year, after Final Fantasy) cooks up a scheme to really bolster flagging scream supplies.
This flick is quite well done, in the same vein as Pixar's other work.
Recommended.
