Entertainment To Me!

1. Mike Wazowski/ Billy Crystal
There are so many reasons to love this movie, and Billy Crystal’s Mike Wazowski is just one of them. The little green, one-eyed monster, with his short, sarcastic wit, makes for some of the greatest lines and moments in the film! One of my favorite scenes is where Mike is trying to disinfect his & Sulley’s home from “Boo”–the little human child–and she sneezes, so he freaks out, and sprays disinfectant on his eye. It’s a great scene, animated with great comedic timing.

2. James P. “Sulley” Sullivan/ John Goodman
Funny, kind, gentle-giant type. Perfect casting. When I first saw the previews for this movie, I can remember thinking I didn’t know what to think of a purple and teal-ish monster…but Sulley is a great character. You really feel in touch with him, and his position in the Monsters, Inc. world. And he plays opposite Mike/Billy Crystal perfectly.
Greatest scene? When he thinks Boo has gone through the trash compacter, hehe, and comes out as a little square…the face he makes behind the glass before he falls down (several times), alwaze makes me laugh like crazy!

3.Randall/Steve Buscemi
Is there anything Steve B. is in that I don’t love? I don’t think so, heh. But his character in this movie is a great one. The facial expressions fit the voice so well, and he is so shrewd and sneaky and greedy. Plus, I love his “chameleon” feature, which allows him to blend in to whatever background he’s against–nifty! One of those bad guys you love, most def. Classic pairing of actor to character.

4.Boo
Boo is one of the greatest features in the film, actually, I think. She’s also one of the most adorable cartoon/computer animated film kids I’ve ever seen, if not the. The googling sounds she makes, and the adorable expressions the animators gave her, added to her appeal. It just makes you feel so much more for the movie. I mean, when she sees Sulley practicing his scare, and freaks out, I really just want to hug her and tell her it’s ok!

5.”Put-That-Thing-Back-Where-It-Came-From-Or-So-Help-Me!”
Ok, I have to add this joke/scene as a personal fave. I mean, when they’re almost caught (Mike and Sulley), and they have to explain what they’re doing, and they come up with “a musical”, then Mike starts up sort-of singing this line, with Sulley going “bum bum bum” in the background, I alwaze crack up! It’s such a little part of the movie, but it’s such a grand part. Some people immediately remember that joke. Classic ridiculously funny!

6.Sulley’s fur, Mike’s expressions, graphics in general–
Overall, the movie has amazing ability to grab you, tell a story, use great color and graphics, and have you feeling, deeply, by the end. Very few regular movies can do that, let alone a computer animated cartoon type. So many things about Monsters, Inc. are amazing. The expressions they make the characters have, the amazing attention to detail; Sulley’s fur was a marvel of it’s time, the signs and colors of background and scene, etc. –all of these things and more make Monsters, Inc. one of my favorite movies!
