Review of Monsters, Inc.

Kids these days. They just don't get scared like they used to.

Probably the best monster-themed cartoon I have ever seen. Who would have thought that the reason why monsters scared kids from their bedroom closets was because they needed the screams to provide energy into the city? Genius.
In the monster world, the top energy company is Monsters, Inc., whose slogan "We Scare Because We Care" symbolizes their goal: to collect as much screams from children as possible in order to provide ample energy to the city. The top scarer of the company is James P. Sullivan (Goodman), also known as "Sully" to his friends. Sully's top competitor is Randall Boggs (Buscemi), who will stop at nothing to achieve the number one status which, up to now, has been firmly held by Sully. Sully's closest friend and assistant, a round Cyclops-esque monster, Mike Wazowski (Crystal), helps him out with everything, but when a little girl accidentally stumbles into the monster world, Sully and Mike's friendship is tested to its breaking point. Now, the two friends have to deal with a secret conspiracy brewing within the company, all the while trying to bring the little girl back to her home without anyone noticing.
Lovely film. Even if you're beyond the 20-year mark (which I am, haha), you will surely enjoy this immensely. This isn't a cartoon made to add to another one on the market; this film is pure entertainment, comedy, and, at times, emotional. The possibility of having a second Monsters, Inc. is introduced in the final scene, as I think that it was left hanging. Not that I wouldn't mind to see Sully and Mike come back, but... oh for cripes' sake, just bring them back for another one! Lol.
