Monsters generate their city's power by scaring children, but they are terribly afraid themselves of being contaminated by children, so when one enters Monstropolis, top scarer Sulley finds his world disrupted.
All the inventiveness, humour and heart with which the animation studio made its name are present and correct here.
Exciting, imaginative and very likable.
Pixar’s soaringly lovely fourth feature is re-released this week, carefully re‑upholstered in 3D.
3D or no 3D, it's great to have Pixar's quasi-surrealist masterpiece back.
Another chance to see Pixar's most dazzling premise, now spruced up with a third dimension.
It's the stuff of nightmares, handled lightly and inventively, but altogether less warm and humane than the Toy Story trilogy, Up, WALL-E or other Pixar classics. The addition of 3D is no significant improvement.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
