Another thing I just realized I like about Pixar - she says while watching Monsters, Inc; geeeeeeek - is that none of their movies center around romantic love. Love is a prominent theme in all their movies, but in different ways. In Toy Story there's a friendship love and a caring love (for the child); in Finding Nemo there's familial love; The Incredibles additionally introduces hero worship, not so healthy. A Bug's Life has a love story but does not use it as its main focus; Up concentrates on what happens when someone's love remains too static - it speaks about moving on. The only real love story in a Pixar movie so far occurs is Wall-E, but it's unconventional and wordless and beautiful and it tugs on your heart so that you don't really realize that love stories in movies make you roll your eyes.
So bitter.

I love the music in Monsters, Inc. The swing-y stuff, and the sweet little violin bit that plays when Sully realizes that Boo is just a cute little girl, and when it makes you cry at the part when he has to send her back.
Music is good.

"But she can't stay here! This is the men's room."
"...That is the weirdest thing you have ever said."

Monsters, Inc. Yeah. Good night.
Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek,
