Watching Monsters Inc. (2001) FOR THE FIRST TIME!! || Movie Reaction!! 

Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction!! See you tomorrow for Robots!

Honestly, I feel like the saddest part of Boo going home wasn’t Sulley’s reaction or the fact they were destroying the door. I feel like the saddest part to me was the fact that Boo didn’t understand what was going on. And we all know we choked up when she opened the closet.

Much like stated in the movies, each kid has a specific monster for their specific scaring. Boo is scared of reptiles, noted by her monster Randall, whereas she finds Sully, a furred monster, not a problem. As well as their tactics in scarring. Randall (most likely) goes for an ambush style while Sully goes for a loud roaring type. Which is what made Boo cry, not scream.

Waternoose for me is the best plot twist of a Disney villain. Perhaps because of two things 1) he has the right order of motives 2) we were distracted by Randall.

33:49 this actually ties into the prequel! We saw from her file that she's scared of snakes, and in the prequel, Hardscrabble tests Sulley with a boy that's scared of snakes. "A roar wouldn't make him scream, it would make him cry. Alerting his parents, exposing the monster world, ending life as we know it."

It’s actually cool to watch Monsters Inc. right after Monsters University because it’s a good way to see Mike and Sulley continue their lives working at this company after the events of the University. This is a fun and charming movie btw.🙂

10:09 You know, why does a 6-year-old have freaking metal music playing in her room? My guess is, the girl is actually 16, and the assistant monster misread the year of birth on her file as "1995" instead of "1985" (or '94 and '84 respectively, if she was turning 17 that year), hence why the scarer wasn't able to scare her as easily as he thought.

I was wondering why Randall seems to be blind as a bat (grabbing mike thinking he was boo), when it suddenly clicked with me. He stopped wearing his glasses!

I liked this movie a lot as a kid, but man do I respect and enjoy it so much more now! Very emotional, funny, and exciting! The whole role reversal of monsters being afraid of children, and the fact that monsters scare them as part of their job to acquire power is such a fun concept! Mike and Sully were a great leading duo, and Sully and Boo's growing relationship is so sweet and emotional! Even the villains were great, and it's nice to see when Disney/Pixar actually pulls off the Twist Villain trope effectively!

I love how you wanted her to stay with them the whole time as if she doesn’t have a family to go back to lol

Is there a way to stop yourself from crying when Mike shows the shredded door that he put back together by hand? Best ending ever.

If you watch Monsters University again, you reaction to some scenes would hit different if you watch the first movies first like when Randall first shows up at the start while playing a bit of his theme from Monsters INC, the running joke with Mike's face not showing up in photos and Ross cameo

Another one of my favorite Pixar films. It never gets old, including Finding Nemo.10/10 for both ⭐

Since you enjoy Monsters, Inc. you should check out Monsters at Work it’s a continuation show of Monsters, Inc. where it focuses on the Laugh Floor and some new characters and Season 2 comes out next year in 2023.

Gosh, I forgot how much I loved this movie. I was only nine. I knew you were going to cry. I was afraid that watching the prequel first would've gotten a different reaction, but it didn't affect the experience at all 😁

Does Boo have powers? Yes, The power of comedic timing

There are continuation errors between this film and monsters University. In here sully and Mike knew each other since they were children whereas in the sequel/prequel they met in university

Earlier last year, Disney+ released a spinoff series called Monsters at Work about a young scarer named Tylor who just joins Monsters Inc when they convert to laughter, so he has to now go from scary to funny all while Mike and Sulley are trying to keep the company afloat as the new CEO's. One of the things I love about it, besides Mike and Sulley still being a big part of the show, is they make call backs like having scenes from the movie to show what is happening to Tylor while it was happening, and even mentions Boo! The show has mixed reviews, but I really liked it.

One of my favorite Pixar movies!!! ^-^

Fungus is voiced by Frank Oz, the famous Muppeteer known for puppeteering Muppets like Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Bert, Grover, Sam the Eagle, the hands of Swedish Chef (using his actual hands instead of gloves), Animal and Yoda in the Star Wars franchise. Later he voiced Dave the Guard in Inside Out along with fellow Muppeteer Dave Goelz (best for doing Gonzo, Zoot, Beaugard, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and many more). Along with John Goodman and Billy Crystal, he and Steve Buscemi voiced together in their scenes, which is rare in animation. Usually actors are recorded seperately due to their schedules rarely allow them to act togheter but this is an exception.

Ooooh what a classic. Hope u do toy story films sooner or later. Nickflix is at it again awesomely.

Fun fact: when the actress for boo was recording her lines the directors were showing the lyrics for beauty and the beast but obviously she couldn’t read them( me personally I think this is better 😂)

Fun fact: Monsters Inc, Jimmy Neutron, and Shrek were nominated for a movie award back in 2001. The winner was Shrek. DreamWorks beat Disney, Pixar and Nickelodeon.

don't apologize for calling this adorable. The wholesomeness of this movie is why its one of my favorites! Also Boo can't stay with them because she has her own family :P

You should see the bloopers to this. It’s hilarious!😂

I've been looking forward to this

Currently on the Watched Pixar list: Cars 1 Cars 2 Cars 3 The Incredibles The Incredibles 2 Finding Nemo Finding Dory Monsters University Monsters Inc A Bugs Life Brave Wall-E Up Ratatouille Luca Coco Soul Turning Red On the To-Watch Pixar list: Toy Story 1 Toy Story 2 Toy Story 3 Toy Story 4 Lightyear Onward Inside Out The Good Dinosaur Elements - though that one hasn't come out yet

Don't worry we ALL love how cute boo is

I'm sorry if I'm repeating someone, I didn't read all the comments. Fun part is they imply 2319 is contact with a child. But look deeper. 23rd letter of alphabet is W, 19th is S. Hence, White Sock

Hey nick you probably think why boo could be disapearing and reappearing, i don't know, but boo could be violet from the incredibles just think why boo is disappearing, she probably use the invisibility power🤔. But thats my opinion so honest again i don't know but it's just a feeling in mind, love the reaction to this film made my day😊

44:37 LOL this really got me plus great Video as Usual Nick!

I agree Boo is so adorable, I mean she is so cute that I want to take her home and play with her like a puppy.

"Oh Nick uploaded a video, let me-" *sees which movie it is, has flashbacks to being emotionally wrecked.* "Oh no."

you know it's worth saying that in the factory each scarer is paired with a child best suited to them, and in MU the dean failed Sully for not knowing how to scare a particular child... makes you wonder if the education system is flawed somehow. and yes, this happens in real life

huh, i see you watched the prequel first, very nice way of doing it ^w^

Thank you.

Did you watch this on Disney+ cause if not that’s probably why u didn’t get the lamp in the beginning.

Finding Nemo came out after this movie. That was the Easter egg for Pixar's next movie. Also the Pixar ball, and Jesse from toy story 2

Totally agree with your decision. If you ever have the chance to watch movies in chronological order, do it.

Absolutely hilarious that stripped monster was in the Prequel to

i love how you react to the movie nick theres a disney plus spin off series of monsters inc called monsters at work its great animated show to me you should react to the show

Please react to Little Women (2019) :)

Can we all appreciate Mikey at the end? He literally spent an agonizing amount of time pawing through the wood chips of those shredded doors, mutilating his own hands and putting it back together, just so his friend could see the child he bonded with again.

One of my fave bits of continuity in these films. In the prequel, Hardscrabble gives the scenario of “this particular child is afraid of snakes - so a roar wouldn’t make him scream, it would make him cry.” And WHAT happens in this one when Boo sees Sulley roar? Furthermore, her assigned monster is Randall, who has a strong resemblance to WHAT kind of animal…?

The little girl, Boo (real name Mary) doesn't have powers. Three year olds are just quick like that. She probably leaped on his back when he fell and just hung on. My four year old was just like that at her age. I knew you were gonna love her.

I loved this movie when I was little. My family had a blue VHS of it. Man, those were the days...

Interesting to note: The voice of Boo, played by Mary Gibbs, was only 2-3 years old at the time of recording for this movie. To get her to act on cue, the director had a boom mike hanging over her head while another crew member gave her toys to play with, even having to chase her around with the mike still above her head. She had no clue about the mike. And Boo’s real name just happens to be Mary. It’s briefly displayed in her drawing of Randall.

This brings back memories. My little brother loved this film to death when they were a wee child. They would watch this constantly & would make up stories about what each monster does after work 😂 During the scene we're the Monsters we're getting ready to go through their doors, I remember my brother would mimick every movement they did. Freaking adorable. 🤗 This had always been a special film in my heart & I'm so very happy you got to watch it. 💜💜💜

I will NEVER get tired of you calling something/someone cute! You’re so endearing!!!

I knew this movie was good but I forgot HOW GOOD this was. The scene with Sulley saying goodbye to Boo and her sad “Kitty” always gets me teary even though I know he gets to see her again since Mike fixed her door. I love Mike and Celia as a couple together- they’re both one eyed lizard monsters. It def shows that even though Mike was the typically loser in school, he had more of the “American dream” life than Sulley- great happy job that he loves, good stable job position, a longtime best friend, cute girlfriend, his own place, etc. Sulley has always been popular and yet all he focuses on is work; with his status and family legacy he could easily be doing better than Mike and he’s not. He’s stuck, until he meets Boo and she opens him up 🥰

You need to do the Fake bloopers they did for this movie. Their quite funny

Fun Fact! Billy Crystal was initially offered the role of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story but had turned it down. I don't know if it was a scheduling conflict, or if he felt unsure of the film's prospects at the time. He regretted this decision though, so a few years later he leaped at the opportunity to lend his voice to Mike Wazowski :)

We still quote some lines from this. "You didn't turn in your paperwork last night. Don't let it happen again!" "Put that thing back where it came from, or so help me...!"

a think that it was amazing you watched this one after monster university because you can actually feel how deep the friendship of mike and sulli really is and how they care about each other As always is a pleasure watching your reactions while i drink my coffee, Nick💙

This is probably one of my favorite PIXAR movies ever. Also, Boo is just a normal human child; her ability to get around quickly is because real life kids have a lot of energy. Since this is a work of fiction, they can exaggerate her speed a little so it can be funny when Mike and Sulley lose her.

Ooh, I remember this one! It's honestly one of Pixar's most creative movies, it's so good. I'm glad you reacted to this! Keep up the great work, Nick!

Randall is my favorite character in this series. In the prequel he was a nervous kid who went down the wrong path because he wanted to fit in and have friends, while in the first movie he seems to have given up on friendship and instead tries to revolutionize his field of work by any means necessary. (Being powered by a petty grudge against Sully.) I love his descent into ambition and cruelty and I wish the prequel could've focused more on his character and development

watching the prequal first is a good choice in my opinion, it makes the original movie more impactful.

One of my favorite Pixar movies! So glad you watched it and I hope you enjoyed the movie as much as I do ☺️

What I learned from this video: Nick will be a great dad

Boo is one of the cutest Disney kids I've ever seen. I love how sully becomes like a father figure to her.

Favorite Moments 19:16 Mike gets Hurt 24:15 Mike Classic Scream 36:59 None of that Matters 40:53 The Great Door Chase

Heh, it made me laugh that you kept wanting Boo to stay in the monster world. It’s sweet, but you kept forgetting that she has a home in the human world, which means she likely has parents or guardians looking for her. XD

I love how you always say you didn’t expect to like it as much as you did for nearly all Pixar movies and it just goes too show many bangers Pixar has

Ahh, this movie was definitely one of the greats. I can't remember why they thought children were deadly to touch, though. Two possible reasons I recall was this: either a sick kid gave a monster a disease that almost caused a serious pandemic; or it was a myth created by the CDA and higher authorities to make sure monsters did not physically harm the kids or tried taking them into the Monster world. Both could be true.

Three facts about the film: 1) In order to get the voice lines for Boo, the crew had to follow the girl chosen around the studio because she like most kids couldn’t stand still. 2) This was nominated for the first ever Best Animated Feature Oscar alongside Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, but both films lost to Shrek. 3) The octopus chef at the restaurant only has 6 tentacles because he is a reference to Ray Harryhausen’s giant octopus monster from It Came from Beneath the Sea which only had 6 tentacles due to the puppet would have been too difficult to animate with 8 like a normal octopus.

And no don't be sorry Nick! Boo was literally the epitome of cuteness my entire life, and everyone who'd seen this movie always talked about how adorable she is! 😊

My favorite line in this entire movie is "No I'm not attacking you" 😂😂😂

THAT DAMN OPPENING SONG 01:20 Brings SO MANY Childhood memories 😭, I didnt know how to pronounce "Monsters inc" so I used to call this movie as "the scare" or something... I wanna my childhood back

I love this movie. I was 20 when it came out, I absolutely loved it and still do

Since you watch both movies I highly recomend to watch Monsters at Work. Is not that long, only a few episodes and it takes place months before the final scene of the movie. Trust me you gonna like it, specially that John Goodman and Billy Crystal reprise their roles as Sulley and Mike for the show.

32:05 Actually, this whole machine thing was so scary for me when I watched this movie as a kid, 'cause of this suction thing... brrr. But just this part. Everthing else was fine. I especially enjoyed the music, but also the funny moments (for example when Sullivan is going to faint nearly every next second because of the trash machine xDD) and the emotional moments, especially the farewell. It's just a nice movie about just affection. Not love, not romantic stuff, no father-kid thing (okay we could say there is a bit about it), but just about... the affection for another... creature. A creature which is not a part of yours, so, an "alien", we can say (for the monsters), but... just affection for another being. And with this the movie shows very well that it doesn't matter, what kind of being you are or other people are. You can have just, pure, (innocent) affection for another being. And that's a good message I think. But the best here: the movie handle this without to much words about it. It just have good enough dialog parts with the most important informations, so it doesn't have any kind of just "twaddle" and the other parts it narrates us the story and all this with the action moments, and with the emotional moments. And maybe that is something the pixar movies are doing very well.

I love this movie so much. The part where Sully has to leave Boo always makes me cry so bad😭

Hey Nick, fun fact. The voice of Boo is actually the daughter of one of the animators. She was 3 years old when they did this. So her speech and reactions are real which makes it even more cute 😍

Sulley would make a good father!

This movie was so sad, monsters scaring kids for screams to power the town, but the ending was good, Sulley found an alternative power source: laughter

Based on the Pixar theory, when the monsters on the news are over exaggerating about Boo, they are actually talking about Jack Jack as he fits the description, from the laser eyes and all his other jack of all trades abilities. In Incredibles 2, Jack Jack is able to teleport between dimensions, which can actually fit since the Monster World is seperate from the Human World

I'm so excited for this reaction! This movie meant the world to me as a child and still does as an adult. I know you'll enjoy it 😊

Of course she couldn't stay with them, that'd be kidnapping.

You connected so many things from the prequel especially for seeing them "out of order", I'm impressed! This film has one of the best endings out there. I always remember this as being a really emotional film because the emotional moments just strike right at the heart.

Out of the movies Pixar has made, Monsters Inc has always been my most favourite because it has the perfect emotional scenes, comedy and one of the best plot twists with Waternoose being part of the scheme because we were so focused on Randall. I love the friendship between Mike and Sulley and Boo is such an adorable kid that the first time I saw this I cries when Sulley made Boo cry because it showed Sulley that what they were doing wasn't actually fun, it was a trauma for the kids that brought real fear. I also the music that goes with the scenes because it makes it really bring the emotion depending on the scene. This movie has and always will be a 10/10 for me.

The way this movie shows they learn to scare before doing jokes, i don’t know why but it kind of reminds me of the shrek movies where he was scarier to and people takes it a cool joke.

Fun Fact: At 9:04, if you look at the scarer chart, some of the scarers are named after Pixar animators. For example, the monsters named Luckey and Ranft are named after Bud Luckey and Joe Ranft.

Oh you made the wrong decision, always watch the original before any prequel or sequel

Calling Boo adorable could never be annoying! She is the cutest kid from any movie ever :D

So excited for this reaction Nick!!! So happy you did Monsters University first, definitely think it helps you connect with Mike and Sully easier.

I LOVE Monsters, Inc! It’s probably my favorite childhood movie ever, and the ending still has me in tears, even at 19. The movie was also one of the first films to be nominated for the brand new category, Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, but it lost to Shrek.

I love Pixar's Monsters Inc (2001).

*Boo disappears and reappears* Nick: does she have powers??? Is she a monster in disguise?? Nick has never done time babysitting toddlers They just do that 😅

Sulley's reaction of Boo going through the trash compactor is the same as Marc-Anothony's in the Looney Tunes cartoon Feed the Kitty, when he thinks that Pussyfoot the Kitten is being baked into a batch of cookies. His reaction on being reunited with Boo, first scolding her for running off and then hugs her happily is also done by Marc-Anthony in the same in the same cartoon, before he has to hide Pussyfoot in the flour box before his mistress sees her.

Dean Hardscrabble's criticism of Sully was correct: "...the girl was afraid of snakes, so a roar wouldn't make her scream, it would make her cry...." Boo was afraid of snakes(or the serpentine Randall)and seeing Sully roar made her cry. One of the things I really loved when I finally noticed it(probably only a year or two back, lol)was that we NEVER see a real child scared by the monsters...until Sully does the scare demonstration and we see Boo's terror. Up to that point, the scares were treated like essential and jokes(the slumber party one, for example), but then we actually see Sully as a big scary monster for her. The Waternoose twist was a way better twist villain than a lot of later Disney film attempts, IMO. Definitely didn't see it coming! That was the joke for the sequel, that the Abominable Snowman was banished for opening other peoples mail.

I think one thing I like about this movie is how the relationship of Sully and Mike, with it's ups and downs. During their arguements, it can be said both sides are right. Mike is trying to be a good friend to Sully by getting this kid situation dealt with, however while Sully is goofing off with Boo, Mike is getting his hands crushed, date rejected, warned by Randall, Kidnapped and nearly tested on by the Scream Machine for his efforts. Mike is trying his best with the cards dealt, but even when he does fulfill Sully's wants of getting Boo's door, his efforts get rejected, when Mike is planning to escape and leave Monster's Inc, Sully instead goes to Mr. Waternoose causing them to get banished. While Sully is doing his actions from his heart and trying to be a good monster, he rejects and ignores all opportunities Mike presents and wastes his efforts, and if Sully listened once, while it would have had the bad long term consequences (that they wouldn't have known about) it would have solved their dilemma and they could have gotten back to their lives with little to know trouble. Instead by ignoring Mike, they get banished and Sully had ruined his relationship with Mike, taking away everything he earned and cared about. While Mike would loosen up after a bit and their relationship would be fixed, it shows that you need to take care of your friends/relationships otherwise you could end up hurting them. Maybe someone can do a more thorough analysis on Sully and Mike's relationship throughout this movie, but I just wanted to talk about it, as I think it's something interesting during a watchthrough.

The disappointment at no hopping lamp was hilarious lmao

I like the approach you went with this movie, considering it's better this way: in this movie it's funny to see how these monsters are just as scared of the kids as they are of the monsters

The "scream extractor" traumatized me as a kid, and I'll admit that even now as an adult, I find the scenes that feature it hard to watch. On another note, I loved your reaction to the movie and genuinely found it very heartwarming. And your calling Boo adorable a lot wasn't annoying at all :)

44:13 Have you noticed that it's the same place where Flik went to find the mercenaries in A Bug's Life ?

To clarify, Monsters Inc. takes place ten years after Monsters University

If you haven't seen all the 4 Toy Story movies, you should give them a look(especially 1,2,and 3)

7:52 This would really be the only, the ONLY reason for me not to recommend to everyone to watch Monsters University first before Monsters Inc. It kinda spoils who Roz is in this film. As in Monsters University (‘MU’), it’s more of just a little treat at the end for people who have seen ‘MI’ already. Overall though, it’s not a huge deal. Other than that, I think doing University first is completely fine.

While I do find this film incredibly touching, I’ve watched so much that I don’t get too emotional. But the very end, when Mike has gone out of his way to put a door together splinter to splinter? I get such a tight throat and watery eyed every time
