Docter gets his feature-length directorial debut after working behind the scenes on Pixar's Toy Story films. They took a chance having someone other than John Lasseter helm this one—and it paid off big time. In case you've been living under a rock for the past six months, a quick plot summary: friends and roommates James P. Sullivan (John Goodman—the big blue hairy guy) and Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal—the eye) work at Monsters, Inc., the company that provides the monsters that inhabit the closets of human children. They do this because the sonic vibrations of childrens' screams are the source of their world's power. Nifty, huh? They've also been brought up to believe that being touched by a human is instant death. Through various machinations, a human child ends up coming through a closet door and landing in Monstropolis, the town where the monsters live, and the news of this has roughly the same effect as a nuclear bomb threat in the middle of a major metropolitan area. Guess who gets stuck with the kid and has to find a way to get her back to the human world? Pixar have always been good at balancing the edge between kid-friendly and adult-oriented, and never more so than in this movie. There's enough physical comedy to keep the kiddies happy, while the movie's main plot and emotional subtexts go way over their heads and keep the adults interested. Top-notch casting (James Coburn, Steve Buscemi, and a host of other top-of-the-B-listers join Crystal and Goodman), Pixar's trademark cutting-edge animation, and one of the best scripts in years make this not only another bullet in Pixar's belt, but the best one yet.

This review is for the steelbook release of Monsters, Inc, one of Pixar's early triumphs. Great movie, beautiful encode by Disney, fantastic steelbook release! Great coverart and inside art, vivid color. The included BD is region free and plays in my region A, North American PS3.

Always a pleasure to do business with you. Receive steelbooks really quickly considering how far they are coming. Thank you for everything, Sherry

excellent as usual

Zavvi's Pixar steelbook collection continues with their 6th release for the now Disney-owned studio. The movie has never looked or sounded better, and with most modern-day cartoons generated purely by computer, blu-ray is the best way to enjoy them. The steelbook itself is lovely, with a matte finish and Mike Wazowski, Sully and Boo on the front cover. A worthy addition to any steelbook fan's collection!

Great movie and a nice steelbook overall.

beautiful steelbook set with 3d version of a fantastic kids film

Excellent steel book cover - really eye catching - buy this now before it sells out!!

A good looking steelbook from Zavvi. Not as great as some of the others nut still a good addition to anyone's collection.

It may be old now but this film will never lose its charm. Perfect steelwork for the feature.
