What's not to love about Monsters, Inc.? The animation is excellent (just look at Sulley's fur), the voice acting is immaculate (Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, James Coburn, etc.) and the concept itself is brilliant.
Many modern animated films (i.e., TMNT Mutant Mayhem) are packed full with 2023 slang and references which will date the movie. Monsters, Inc. Does not have this problem. The story is timeless and endlessly rewatchable.
The evolution that the characters go through is masterclass. Their changes ultimately culminate in one of the most tear-jerking final moments in film history (honestly, think about it). I adore Monsters, Inc. And it is in strong contention for my favorite animated film of all time.
