Mary Gibbs (the voice of Boo) is a friend of mine and she really is a very sweet gal. She loves doing conventions and meeting her fans and even kids who were shown the movie because of the parents showing it and them loving it. It really is a timeless classic movie that I know will never lose it's way to entertain any age

The running gag of covering Mike actually came to DVD as well. They were shipped with a sticker that covered him on the cover.

Prince of Egypt slaps SO HARD. The star-studded cast, the incredible music, the beautiful animation. Definitely needs a vid.

The part with Randall in the trailer makes me laugh every single time. "Another gator?!" That type of humor is right up my alley. I love this movie and it was such a huge surprise to me when it came out. This is definitely one of Pixar's best movies and I really, really hope you do react to more because Pixar had some real masterpieces. Please, please react to 'The Incredibles'. That movie is a whole lot of fun.

There are SO many good Pixar films, even the recent ones. Y'all gotta check out at least a few more! Incredibles, Toy Story, Coco, Soul, WALL-E, etc. So many to choose from.

The ending with Boo saying "Kitty!" gets me every single time.

This movie was the very first movie I ever saw in theaters . My parents took me to the theaters to see this, it became a household favorite years and years after. Fun fact Monsters Inc was one of the first animated films to be nominated for Best Animated Picture at the Oscars along with Shrek and Jimmy Neutron, Shrek ended up winning

Monsters Inc is one of the best Disney Pixar movies ever. Can't believe it'll be 22 years since it was released. Absolutely heartwarming and nostalgic.

Was not expecting a Pixar movie! There are so many well written animated gems, would love to see more.

Monster's University (2013) is pretty underrated, so it'd be awesome if you were to react to it as well!

MAJOR props on the praise for The Prince Of Egypt. One of my all time favorite animated movies too. A straight up masterpiece. 👊

I second the Prince of Egypt being the next animated watch. It stands head and shoulder above anything else. The cast, the directing, the score, and if you’re into that sort of thing, the BIBLICAL significance all rolled into the most impressive thing dreamworks has ever achieved.

You guys should definitely do a Pixar binge. They're all so good and worth watching. Especially the new films.

Holden is right about Prince of Egypt being the best animated film ever.

personally i would love a pixar binge, its a nice change of pace and i get a chance to relive my childhood

This is my favorite movie of all time. My parents got it on VHS when it came out and I watched it so much that the tape actually broke only a few months after getting it. My high school graduation cap was related to it. loved the video!

Would love to see Jen react to more of golden age Pixar, stuff like Toy Story, the Incredibles, WALL-E, Cars, etc

would love to see Jen’s reactions to the Toy Story series. By far my favorite of the pixar movies

Fun fact the CODE 2319 is referencing the letters of the alphabet W(23) and S(19) for white sock

This is one Pixar's best films they made. Very glad Jen is giving it a chance. While I understand she doesn't watch a lot of animated films. I get it, but I do recommend you guys watch Studio Ghibli films. Studio Ghibli films are Japanese animated films, but however some of those films have some pretty deep stories. In fact, some of Studio Ghibli films are a little more mature than most of western animated films. I hope one day you guys decide to watch them in the near future.

We just came back from Hollywood Studios where my son met Sully for the first time. He's two and demands Monster's Inc. and/or University most nights. When he saw Sully, he had the biggest smile, ran full speed into his giant furry body.

The last couple of minutes always tear my heart out. Laughter is the biggest power, carrying a piece of someone you love wherever you go and as you move in life despite the loss. but man that one moment at the end, the idea of hearing again the voice of someone you love, miss and never thought you'd hear again, and they call you lovingly by your nickname as if no time has ever passed? I always sob.

I definitely recommend inside out. I think that’s probably Pixar’s best or at least one of their best films they did.

I’m sure someone has already commented about this, but you should also watch Monsters University. Both are great movies. I would love to see more reactions to Pixar movies.

Monsters Inc. is a classic. Also has a special place in my heart. Every year, our families would get together for Thanksgiving, about 12 kids and 10 adults. After eating, we'd go to the theater to watch the latest holiday-time movie. Monsters Inc. was out just in time for that tradition. Imagine 22+ people raiding the theater in Downtown Disney to watch this on the big screen. Was a memorable moment for sure. Also, yes to The Incredibles and Toy Story!

She now needs to watch ALL of the Pixar movies... and then discuss the Pixar Theory!

Billy Crystal and John Goodman as Mike and Sully are dynamic duo that is unmatched and undeniable chemistry. You should watch the prequel film to this movie Monsters University where Mike and Sully first met years before working at Monsters Inc.

One of the most interesting scenes in this movie for me, is when Randall, Waternoose and Fungus are about to use the scream machine on Boo that you can really analyze their evil scale based on their individual reactions! Randall is the only one out of the three that is truly evil and sadistic, as he isn't bothered one bit by the suffering the little girl was about to endure. All he cared about was how much this machine was going to earn him the recognition he believed he deserved! Waternoose is visibly uncomfortable, and acknowledges how messed up using this machine is. However, he believes that it is a necessary evil in order to save the city of monsters! He is one of those villains that takes no pleasure in the evil actions they commit, but they genuinely believe that they're the only way to produce effective solutions. Fungus isn't actually believe, and is only following Randall's orders because he fears him and is the most sympathetic towards Boo in that scene. Because he also experienced first hand what the machine will do to someone, he knows how much it was not only going to hurt Boo but also kill her as he barely survived upon recovering.

Holden realizing his fam is like the incredible means he's found the perfect Halloween costume idea. Have to do it quick tho, before the little one gets too old

Fun fact- Randall's sidekick Fungus is voiced by Frank Oz!

Jason and the Argonauts came out in 1963. The last movie he worked on was Clash of the Titans from 1981.

22:13 This scene is still the funniest moment in the movie xD i still die to it haha

TOMORROW IS THE 22nd ANNIVERSARY OF MONSTERS INC!!!!!! I actually got to see this back in 2020 in theaters, they were playing classic movies in theaters, same year I got to see Toy Story and Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone in theaters as well!!!!! Which all 3 were amazing to see in theaters!!!!

Fun theory that most people have accepted about Boo is that she's actually Violet from the Incredibles. Main reason behind it was because of how she keeps disappearing then reappearing like the scene where she and Sully are playing hide and seek it's a good theory and could be very possible

Fun fact: the reason Randall squints is because he's near sighted. We see this in Monsters University, a prequel to Monsters Inc, where Randall wears glasses. He actually removed them at Mike's suggestion to make him look scarier.

Don't know if anyone else mentioned, but the 2319 supposedly stands for 23rd letter of the alphabet (W) and the 19th letter (S)...this was for the first White Sock. Great Reaction!!!

One of my most cherished movie ever. I have a Mike figure since the movie was released. It will always be in my possession and the animation is the very first pixar movie i watched with my daughter when she was 7. She absolutely loved it. Love the content again, keep the fun going ❤

Wonderful reaction to a wonderful Pixar movie. It would have been nice to have watched Coco, to have had it published today (actual Día de los Muertos in Mexico), but this is just as good.

This movie was part of my favorites as a child, I definitely took this out on VHS multiple times, went to the prequel (monsters university) premiere and now my kids who are 4 have fallen in love with it as well on Disney+, definitely a classic.

Its a real shame that you only showed just over 20 minutes or more of the movie for your viewers to watch with you both!! But still a great film!!😅🤣😂👏🙌🙏👍❤🎉

Funny enough, this is one of the first films i didn't fall asleep in as kid... That and Jurassic Park 3, both are VERY different 2001 films lol Jen explaining how she managed to not see mist family amd pixar films make so much sense. I'm lucky my mom loves movies, so we watch them together, if not, I'll have to eatch the film myself.

This was one of my favorite movies as a toddler. My mom says that i would always ask for it by saying "inc inc"

You definitely need to watch Incredibles, it's really on brand for you guys. WALL-E too which it feels like Jen would like.

Wow this movie still holds up to the test of time! I even felt a few tears because it brought back my childhood memories ☺️ if and when I have kids this is a classic I have to show them just like Shrek and Toy Story!

The 00s was realy insane with animated moveis. Monsters inc, Finding nemo, incredables, cars, Wall-e. Up, Shrek, Sirit, Madagaskar, Kungfu panda,

19:09 your wife’s reaction is the best

This came out when I was 11 and I’ve loved it ever since. Sully and Boo’s relationship made me want to be a girl dad and now I am raising my 9 year old autistic daughter she watches the 2 monsters Pixar movies pretty much everyday.

In my opinion this is the best Pixar movie, and it was released in the peak golden years of Pixar, back when they hade amazing ideas and even better execution

This era of Pixar was the best, I especially loved that they animated bloopers for the end credits

Prince of Egypt is my favorite animated movie of all time! I listen to the soundtrack all the time!

This movie brings my heart so much joy. Back when around this movie was around it was one of my favourites so much sooo Boo made me wish for a little sister and it wasn’t long after my little sister was born and 19 years later we still call her Boo.

No way so dope 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 woot woot. Such a gr8 movie... plz more pixar!!!!

Roz saying Mike Wazowski is always such a classic line! Would love to see more pixar movies like Up or Wall-e too. Even though Prince of Egypt isn't a pixar movie, it's one of my all time favorite animated films. Great art, story and music. Highly underrated, but a definite classic.

Holden saying "Its Late" in the intro scene when he saw the clock just had me hunched over laughing. That was the most adult/ dad thing he could have said in reaction to this whole video, I laughed too hard for that but I'm glad I did.

I watched this in the theater with my parents, and the ending made me cry.😢

4:21 dude! yes! Such a great movie. And Prince of Egypt hits so differently when you’re an adult, especially if you’re an adult of faith.

12:27 fun fact: In the original cut of the film, that was actually an explosion. But due to 9/11, it was later changed in fear of being of poor taste.

Brilliant writing here: How do you make a monster movie for children? You make the monsters scared of children. Genius.

Another fun fact since you mention Prince of Egypt and Shrek, they were both in production at the same time, and if you messed up on P.O.E. they were punished by sending then to work on Shrek 😂

You can always tell many of these react channels have obviously seen the films before hand, but there’s no need for you guys to explain yourselves you can tell you are very genuine

Many people debate where this sits in the Disney timeline, but I prefer the theory that the monsters inc universe is based far in the future and when they go through the doors they’re not traveling to another dimension or universe they are actually traveling back in the past. And that explains another theory that the witch from Brave is actually Boo, who learned how to do magic to try to find Sully, also you can actually see wood carvings of Sully in her shop Also, you two should watch A Pixar Story.

One of the best from Pixar. Can't believe Jen didn't saw that film.

The mobile home that Randal gets banished to is the same house from Bug’s Life, where underneath is the “big city” that Flik finds the circus bugs at.

Made me cry for the first time and I’ve seen this movie a thousands times!!! Love old Pixar!!!

The ending ALWAYS gets me. I even know it's coming. 😢

So glad Jen enjoyed this! There will be no complaints from me if Pixar is the next movie series yall go with. Their new movies like Luca and Elemental have been just as good as their old ones!

I would recommend Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Also yes to more pixar: Monsters University, Toy story, Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Finding Nemo,Cars, Coco, Inside Out, Soul

In the UK in Asda (supermarket) and cinemas had a 8/9ft real model of Sully its very realistic my kid was petrified of it and a friend managed to squeeze one in to his front room

This was the first film I watched in the cinema

Monsters Inc, The Incredibles and Toy Story, some of the greatest pixar movies ever made. God, im gonna tear up so much the day they announce a sequel to Monsters Inc, I can feel it.

This movie is the single reason that I have a sister. In the fall of 2001 when it came out I was 7 years old and my mother was pregnant. We saw this in theaters and mom fell head over heels in love with Boo and from that point forward she desperately wanted the baby she was carrying to be a girl. Turned out she was carrying my little brother at the time lol. Unfortunately she had to wait 3 more years to finally get her little Boo.

Y’all should continue Shrek 3 and 4

Back when Pixar could do no wrong. Toy Story, Bugs life, Monsters Inc., Incredibles, Ratatouille, Cars, Wall-E…so many amazing movies that have been created by Disney/Pixar.

According to some fan theories the world of Monsters Inc is actually the world of post apocalyptic mutants. The doors allow them to travel back in time.

The joke with Sulley fainting over and over again when he sees what he think is Boo going through the trash compactor, is inspired by the Chuck Jones cartoon Feed the Kitty where Marc-Anthony the bulldog watches in horror when he think his kitten friend Pussyfoot is being baked into a batch of cookies by his mistress and he faints over and over again in horror.

19:13 I always wondered why was there a door in the middle of nowhere 🤣

18:16 yes very much so. Also can never not cry at the end of this movie

This movie is my favourite animated film, makes me cry every single time. Can’t believe it came in 2001, I could’ve sworn it was around 2003/2004

I love the conspiracy theory that boo grows up to be the friend in Red. She’s the only one that takes to the panda monster because she loves Sulley.

Incredibles, Toy Story, and up

You guys should definitely do "Little Monsters" with Ben Savage & Howie Mandel after this.... it was a big inspiration for "Monsters Inc.".

I loved it too and Sully changing over time from scarer to a father figure, The sad part is that you not actauly see how old Boo is when the door is restored. I think you should see the Incredibles one and two. Other classics Pixars are good too.

Monsters Inc is directed by Pete Docter who was directed Up, Inside Out and Soul. He (in my opinion) is Pixar's best director.

i know this isn’t pixar but how to train your dragon is magical! 100% recommend

Dreamworks are never sleeping did he forget about the masterpiece of puss in boots early on in the year legit looked like an anime

Forget Toy Story 3, Forget Up, Sully grabbing Boo’s tiny little hand in his giant one as they say goodbye is the Pixar moment that makes me bawl my eyes out

You should watch finding Nemo, Finding Dory, and Cars. Along with The Incredibles which you mentioned.

Can you watch Monsters University.

You both should watch Toy Story

Oh man you cut out the part where Mike didn’t understand Randall’s prompts. “Painted?!” It’s the only part that still makes me audibly laugh.

Definitely got to do WALEE, like for sure. and would also love to see you guys do prince of egypt and the toy story ones, im a bit older now but did grow up with those movies and would love to recap them along with you guys.

there is bloopers for this movie, actual animated bloopers. like they were putting weird backgrounds for randall or they fall down and they laugh etc

What I wanna know Is how do you guys manage to film all your videos without the kids causing chaos ? Haha

@Holden have always loved this film, thanks for this. I liked your discussion with your wife on this :). @Jen you continue to impress with your breakdown of what you like love and didn't... and the banter with you and hubby Holden is always fun :). Ty Both

The monsters inc laugh factory is great. One dude fell asleep and while he was asleep the animation of mike was making fun of him. Everyone including his wife was laughing.😂

I'd say DreamWorks is very much awake with Puss in Boots: the last wish as their most recent work.

You guys gotta do Monsters University next!! Monsters Inc was according to my family the only thing that would keep me quiet as a baby. I love this movie. Regrettably Shark Tale and Robots were other movies that I loved as a kid so really my opinion means nothing 😂

Wall-e and Incredibles are must watch movies, they are amazing, the animation hold ups pretty well and the plots of both movies are so good that they could work in any type of media, so if you don't react to most of the Pixar movies at least react to these two.

I actually think Monsters University is as good if not better, though Monsters Inc has a special place because of the nostalgia factor for me.
