Yusuf N Sulley: Im trying to find it. Mike: You lost It!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Carter C Creative as it is compelling, this monster movie is sure to leave a mark in the hearts of many. The story is cool, the voice acting is perfect, and the characters are unforgettable. Pixar has once again created an amazing and iconic film that many will recognize one day! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Ariel V Such a touching story. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Blu B All Time Classic. The animation is a tad bit dated but it's so visually creative and memorable that it overcomes that limitation easily. The characters are super likeable and charming. The villians are good also but I do wish they were a bit more intimidating. Also the music is really good but I wish it was a bit more memorable and catchy on it's own. Other than that this is masterfully done and moves at a perfect pace. It's an original idea executed perfectly. Everyone should give this a try once. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Emery A I have a great appreciation for this animation, it was part of my childhood, and the evaluation was not only due to its historical affection, the work stands out for its creative and intelligent script, which entertains children and provides a critique that older people understand better, presents a unique and diverse well-constructed world, charismatic characters with flaws and successes, they have different situations that make us alternate between different emotions and to finish with a flourish, it has an exciting ending. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Ryland C The funniest Pixar movie ever!! 😂🤣😂🤣 Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
