Review – Monsters, Inc.

Now here’s something I haven’t seen for awhile: a kids’ movie that actually appears to have been made for kids. The story – a goofy farce about a factory in Monsteropolis that specializes in transporting monsters into kids’ closets – is simple and straightforward. The plot doesn’t get bogged down or complicated with a lot of musical numbers, romantic twists or off-color jokes that presumably only adults would get. Instead this is pretty pure Disney, executed with the usual digital aplomb of Pixar. I suppose I’ve laughed harder at other movies, but for family-safe viewing you could do a lot worse. Mildly amusing
