Monsters, Inc.

Lovable Sulley and his wisecracking sidekick Mike Wazowski are the top scare team at Monsters, Inc., the scream-processing factory in Monstropolis. When a little girl named Boo wanders into their world, it's the monsters who are scared silly, and it's up to Sulley and Mike to keep her out of sight and get her back home.

"It's nothing personal. It's just their job."

Always a pleasure to revisit this. <em>'Monsters, Inc.'</em> is one of my favourite Disney animated films.

The cast and characters are what sets this above the majority of the studio's other work, with so many memorable ones involved. John Goodman (Sully) and Billy Crystal (Mike) make for an outstanding duo in the lead roles, they are truly perfect for their respective roles.

A security breach sees their factory overrun by toddlers and boss "Waternoose" is terrified it will ruin the business. They all have to be rounded up by the pest controllers and returned home. Well, of course one "Boo" manages to avoid capture and she is soon befriended by the big wooly "Sully".

My wife and I finally got around to watching this thoroughly enjoyable film about monsters having to scare children to use their screams as an energy source ...and one of the kids gets loose in Monster Town. Despite each of the monsters having an entirely unique and hilarious personality, the kid (nicknamed 'Boo') steals the show. Every time she's on screen, you can't help but smile.
