Monsters, Inc. (2001)
4/5
An intelligent film which not only succeeds at pure and natural entertainment but also as a commentary on entertainment itself. Just like a certain 1941 Preston Sturges movie, the revelation of the power of laughter (especially in its superiority over terror) is a theme both maturely complex and innocently simplistic. Backed by a superb voice cast and an elite direction team, the film also serves as an incredible milestone in animation; hair waves, eyes water, bodies move rhythmically with breath. And best of all, the film ends on what is probably Pixar's most touching final note- a sweet and gentle sigh of kindness.
