Is/was Monsters Inc. any good
Monsters Inc is (finally) out in the next week or two over here in the UK. I have a simple question for all the US readers of this board (who have been able to see the film for months). Is it worth seeing? How does it compare to Toy Story? Is it just a 'kids' film?
Anybody know why TS2 was digitally released similtaniously in Europe and the US and Monsters Inc., made & distributed by the same people is being done using the traditional film disto method (that sucks).

No, not just a kid's film. I thought it was funny and the 3D animation superb (what would you expect from Steve Jobs/Pixar?).

Dunno about that. Wondering why Monsters Inc. took so long to come to your shores???
Whatever. It was worth the wait I'd say. See it!
Both times I saw it at a special digital presentation at the Loews Time Square theater and the picture and sound were stunning. Only 2 theaters in my metro area had digital presentations

To get back on topic, I really liked Monsters, Inc. too. It was another great Pixar movie, although I have to say I didn't think A Bugs Life was that wonderful. It was okay, sure, but nothing to write home about.
Yes, go see Monsters, Inc., and take a kid if you know one.
Seriously though, great movie, excellent rendering, especially of Sully. That hair on him, wow. And the story line was fun, but had enough seriousness and then comedy to keep it good for adults and kids alike. All I can say is... Welcome to the Himalayas! Snow Cone? Don't Worry, it's lemeon flavored...
I loved it a lot.
<strong>Monsters, Inc. is the only movie that made me cry twice in 2001.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Ah at last, someone else who blubs at kids movies. I have never quite lived down the fact that i cried at the end of Toy Story (I was happy for the toys, God damn you!) Strangely, it was my wife who told all my friends. Still, i shall have my revenge by taking my five year old to Monsters, inc. next weekend, while she stays home watching Shrek with the two year old (Again! Again! Again!)

How about the Toy Story 2 "When somebody loved me" song by Sara McLaughlin (sp?)
Tear jerker

Don't hold back Scott, tell us what you really think. You never cry at movies?
Personally I have found that As i get older I cry a lot more in places where I would never have thought it so. Weird. Toy Story, yes, Monsters Inc, no (at least not that I remember). Prince Of Egypt, yes. Shrek, definitely no. Jimmy Neutron, (oddly enough and I am not sure why) yes. The list goes on. Crying is good for the soul, as is laughter. Heck if a movie is good enough to make me laugh and cry, I will own it on DVD or VHS, guaranteed.
