“When I started watching this movie with my kids, the first thing I notice was how simply the rendering really was, comparing this with Kung Fu Panda 2 is like comparing a 3D movie with a 2D movie. When the movie started developing itu0026#39;s characters and story it completely transformed my view of the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJust in the first 30 minutes, this movie completely surpassed Hollywood craps like Kung Fu panda 2 that only relies on spectacular FX to get away with not presenting creative ideas.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie is simply stunning, so much detailed and heart was put into developing itu0026#39;s characters and their relations to their way of life. This movie is more about our human nature than it is about monsters, truly remarkable accomplishment.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhen you think youu0026#39;re watching a simply kidu0026#39;s movie youu0026#39;re actually watching a multi-layered work of art and art is what truly excels at this one!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie truly shines in the art and visual styles, as much as it shines in the music department.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf there is something worth mentioning about itu0026#39;s negative side is that thereu0026#39;s not enough music in the movie, the u0026quot;monsteru0026quot; which is a music artist really was asking for a lot more presence on scene showing his talents, rather than running away from people but, this is the way movie is developed and it is for a reason.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA monster in Paris reflects our inner fears with what we perceived as u0026quot;differentu0026quot; and how each one behaves in the presence of something different, some people will try to take advantage of the situation for personal gain and some will put their prejudices aside and show their unconditional love.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUltimately, this movie is adorable, the only thing I would change is the last pursuit scene, itu0026#39;s too long for my taste but itu0026#39;s not easily predictable and that accounts for the superb tension that itu0026#39;s created, hopefully the movie ends in a right note.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis nice animated movie will surely touch your heart and is a remarkable work of art with a sense of justice and a lot of courage to show exactly how humans behave and what kind of traits we have in our hearts. A movie about values, friendship, music, art and with much heart in it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOnce again, the rest of the world shows Hollywood that movies CAN be made with a nice script and characters we care for instead of bombarding our senses with FX, FX and more FX.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA sure bet to all the family, 8 out of 10.”
