The uses of enchantment haven't changed; kids still need, maybe more than ever, the special comfort of fabulous threats they can control. Go to Full Review

Unflappably great; a clinic in world-building, character development, voice acting and voice casting, storytelling and balancing animation for kids and adults; an emotional, unforgettable roller coaster... Go to Full Review

Miguel C @Miguel3110 16h Mais um filme incrível que pode ser acrescentando às obras de arte da Pixar sem dúvida nenhuma, trazendo uma história nova, misturando monstros que, ao invés de assustarem, divertem o público de todas as idades. See more @BeeInOz 4d Such a great movie. I really liked it, especially Sully. Definitely worth a watch. See more Muhammad A Nov 29 Muy original la idea de monstruos que necesitan asustar a los humanos para abastecer su sociedad de energía y poder subsistir (empieza con muy buen argumento el cuál justifica sus acciones, no es solo porque sí), tiene comedia y oro puro (en español latino hay escenas que resultan muy graciosas y con un toque de comedia exquisito, fenomenal), el giro de eventos que se da es sencillamente espectacular (para nada algo que uno esperaría, un toque de originalidad y pensamiento creativo que genera suspenso y te atrapa porque quieres saber qué es lo que van a hacer, qué pasará si los descubren), es familiar, educativa, con un toque emocional que conecta con el espectador (porque Sullivan a un ritmo coherente y no apresurado empieza a comportarse como el padre de la niña, cosa que es un 10 porque de pasar a estar asustado a un nivel extremo pasa a entender cómo son las cosas, que no todo es lo que parece), puedo seguir y seguir pero terminaré la reseña, necesitamos más películas como estas que dejan huella, inocencia, mensaje, valor, y recuerdo en la mente de todos (no solo para niños, también para los adultos, está tan bien hecha que un adulto puede disfrutarla, así de buena es).
