timepiececlockI rented & watched 'Monsters Inc.'
Yeah, it was amusing, and yeah, it was pretty cute. I loved the 'door' concept, and the factory caverns fulls of doors flying around like dominoes on wires.
Still thought 'Shrek' was better, overall. I mean, nothing beats an animated family movie with the lines:
[looks at huge castle built by very short prince]
"Shrek says he's compensating for something. That means he's got a really--"
::snicker:: Yeah, that was good. So was the interrogation of the gingerbread man. ::chuckle::
I also thought the moral of 'Shrek' was a better one, more fleshed out and better delivered. Though I don't watch movies for the moral lessons, if one is presented to me, I like it to be subtle, appropriate, and worthwhile. Not that Monsters Inc.'s wasn't-- Shrek was just a little better.
Monsters Inc. was good though. Entertaining.
And I would reccomend that you rent or buy the DVD. Not however, for the actual movie 'Monsters Inc.'
No, you should rent it for the animated short, 'For The Birds'.
Which is the funniest animated/short film I've EVER seen, including cartoons.
It was just... adorable. Hilarious. Cute. It has a moral too-- people who tease others get their just deserves in the end.
And did I mention cute? And... a little nasty. In that snicker/chortle kind of way.
I was watching it with my mom & dad, and we couldn't stop laughing. It was SO funny. And the animation was very very cool too. So good, in fact, that you're immediately sucked in & don't even think about it, because you're so busy laughing at the antics of the birds.
It very, very much deserved the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.
I'm downloading it now, for my computer. You guys should too, or get Monsters Inc. to see it.
