Derek and Doug visit the world of monsters in Pixar’s fourth feature film, Monsters, Inc. Pixar’s “fur movie,” Monsters, Inc. is a wildly ambitious movie technically, but do its characters, relationships, and narrative stack up to the strides it clearly makes in animation? How does the world of monsters work in relation to our own? What would’ve happened to all those kids if Randall’s plan worked? And how big exactly is Sulley’s tie? Only one way to find out! The door’s open—come on in!

Derek and Doug are back to burrow into A Bug’s Life, Pixar’s insect-centric sophomore showing. In some ways, it’s a perfect follow-up to the smash hit Toy Story, in others it’s a bit perplexing, and oddly, this story of ants finding their collective strength against an oppressive gang of grasshoppers feels more relevant and important than ever.
