Monsters Inc. (DVD)

I am not a fan of family or children’s movies. I see these films as a sanitised crop of sickly, sweet loveliness, where everyone loves one another and nobody ever gets shot. Nonetheless, every so often, a film comes along that does capture my interest and for many, many months I looked forward to the DVD release of Monsters Inc. I would even have gone to the cinema to see this, had it not been for the fact that I would have had to share my air space with hordes of revolting offspring, so my anticipation of its home video release was so feverish that I actually reserved a copy. How fortunate it was, therefore, that the movie surpassed my expectations and provided a couple ...  Read the complete review

Please excuse the fact that this opinion is for the DVD version of Monsters Inc and there is no catergory for the DVD version of Monsters Inc, I have suggested it to dooyoo so they should hopefully add it soon. After watching Monsters Inc at the cinema, I knew that film would go down as one of my all time favourites. Some of you may think that this film is only for the children, well if you haven't watched it you're missing out, big time. I got this film at Christmas on DVD (courtesy of my lovely girlfriend Vicky), and it is fantastic. With DVD extras coming out of the ears, and the classy film to boot, this DVD is great beyond all imagination. If ...  Read the complete review

~ Introduction ~ I watched this film on DVD a couple of weeks back, prompted by reading many raving reviews but still not really knowing what to expect in terms of the quality of this production. Monsters Inc is a CGI (computer generated imagery) movie, I am not really a great fan of such movies after watching films like Final Fantasy as it seemed to be too false, however this film in my point of view is an absolute master-piece that is put together very well. Disney partnered with Pixar for this production; they have a number of successes under their belt, including ‘Toy Story I & II’ and ‘A Bugs Life’. ...  Read the complete review

Being a six year old trapped in a twenty year old's body is no laughing matter. No I'm serious I'm actually six. The front I am forced to put on to convince the world that I am actually a (nearly mature) twenty year old is in fact merely a matter of necessity and not personal preference as my flatmates will all no doubt testify to. Thus when my looker afterer (sorry the word is usually girlfriend) told me that we were goign to the cinema I was concerned that it may be to see one of these grown up movies that usually has a deep message and depressing comments on real life. Imagine my joy when I discovered that in fact I was to be treated to an animated movie ...  Read the complete review

Ah the sweet carefree-ness of childhood, remember? The days were full of fun and hope and sun. Life was good and nothing could convince you otherwise… Until bedtime, you knew all sorts of unspeakable and unseen horrors awaited. Would your mother believe you when you told her that the reason you were screaming your head off was because there was a huge monster with saucer eyes and giant fangs in the wardrobe or there was a slimy horror with 20 tentacles lurking under your bed, you knew it was there because you could here it whispering in the dark that it was going to grab your leg as soon as you got out of bed and she still wouldn’t believe you. ...  Read the complete review
