Monster's Inc. suffers from what came after it. Watching it, I can't help wishing for Wall-E, Up, Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, etc... Monster's inc is a good movie, but it doesn't reach the levels of greatness that would come after. In fact, if you take away Boo, or made her less adorable, there isn't much to hold this movie together. The voices and animation are all great, but the story is kind of blah. It's has it's moments (The abominable snowman scene is pretty great) But a factory, even a cool monster factory, just isn't a very exciting location for a movie. I'd much rather spend time in Monstropolis or the real world. Also, for some reason, the villians in this movie aren't threatening. Even when they're trying to capture Boo, you always know that Sully, the biggest and scariest monster, will be able to win out. I wonder what this movie would have been like if Sully was up against more physically imposing foes? I like the movie enough that I will watch it again, but It has enough problems that I'll probably be surfing the internet too.
