Went and saw it Friday night. Not bad. It seems though, that most kids movies are geared toward adults. I’ve seen about 8 kids movies in two years and in none of them do I ever hear the kids in the audience laughing. It was great animation, and a sweet story involving a villian. I am glad it ended the way it did. I would’ve felt cheated if it hadn’t had such a happy ending. Boo! Kitty! ---

I thought the movie was pretty good and I’ll likely buy it when it comes out on DVD. Seeing it in the threater, though, involved constant chatter and occasional crying from children who were somewhat kinda watching the movie. > [@](#): > > **From my LJ** > If you plan to go see Monsters, Inc., don’t go to the 3:50 show on a Friday. > Damn ankle-biters. > > Good movie, though. 'Course, it might have been better if they had turned the lights down instead of up when the movie began and if the woman with the kid who just couldn’t seen to sit down had decided to, oh, I don’t know, move away from others before he had manged to grab the hair of half the people sitting a row in front or, and this was appreciated, believe me, burp a great formula-y bubble right by my ear. Mmmmm, formulicious. > > I’m telling you, I’m gonna get snipped. ---

I have three little ones and I took them to see it on Sunday. My daughter, Katie, 5, sat transfixed. My oldest son, Elijah, age 3, liked it, but sat on my lap during the few ‘scary’ points (not that there were many). My youngest son, Ben, 2, watched all but about the last 20 minutes. He was still occupied with the movie even if he had no attention span left. It was his first movie theater experience. We all left smiling! 🙂 ---

Saw it, loved it. Took the kids. Boo reminded both of us a lot of our 2 year old. Not scared of a darn thing. Oh, and the short before the movie? It rocked! ---

I went with my mom, my fifteen year old brother, my aunt,and my spoiled five year old cousin and I still managed to enjoy it while it lasted. I left the theater saying “Mowsky Kowsky” over and over again for no good reason. Of course, it was all ruined when my mother decided she wanted to take me home(where I have not only no clean clothes, but also no bed but the couch)instead of bringing me back to my dorm.
