Return

I saw Monster, Inc. at a matinee yesterday afternoon. John Goodman and Billy Crystal create funny, likable character voices. The computer animation is still "different," but less of a scene stealer from the story than the previous Pixar flicks. Steve Buscemi plays the bad guy. He's very low-key for an evil character, and only there because there has to be a bad guy. Most of the fun is found in the Goodman-Crystal interaction.

The title sequences looks are made to look like 1960s animation (think Pink Panther movies).

I figure Disney can get at least one theme-park ride out of this.
