Monsters, Inc.

This CGI animation from Toy Story makers Pixar is set largely in Monstropolis, a city inhabited by the foulest of beasts.

The monsters power their city by sending 'scarers' through doors which teleport them into children's rooms.

Once there, they pull faces at the kids, producing shrieks of terror, which are bottled back in Monstropolis and used as a source of energy.

It's a neat idea, but what really lifts the film is the sense of fun that pervades the whole movie.

Monsters, Inc runs as smoothly as a fairground slide that no one is too big to enjoy.
