Could the creators of the computer-animated Academy Award winning feature “Toy Story” do it again? They have, they did and it’s even better. Yes, I said better. Why? They’ve taken a premise that’s long been an issue (monsters in the bedroom, under the bed, in the closet) and solved the problem. Seems the monsters are afraid of us. Monsters, Inc. is the largest scare factory in the world and the top kid scarer is James P. Sullivan (John Goodman), a huge, intimidating monster with blue fur, large purple spots and horns known as “Sulley” to his friends. His best pal and roommate is Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), a lime-green one-eyed monster. As though kids being scared of the dark isn’t enough, these monsters have bigger problems. Seems coming in contact with a child would be catastrophic! There isn’t often a movie that’s for everyone but this one will score (not scare) you and the entire family!
