Monsters Inc
seems to be the Brainchild of Pete Doctor, who had had a major role in the
production of all 3 of Pixar’s other films up to this point. This guy is a
major talent at Pixar and made his directorial debut here, later going to make
Pixar classics such as Up and Inside Out, both of which I intend to get to. He
began working on the script during the Production of a Bugs’ Life, and after a
lot of tweaking we got a story
Production
required Pixar to step up their game, with the main character having over 2 million
strands of hair, the task became about making them move correctly in accordance
to the action of the character. The creation of Fizt the physics tool was a
major breakthrough for them when it comes to the hair, and it also helped with
another problem, clothing, although it took another algorithm to handle
collision between different items of clothing.
This was
Pixar’s most complex film, requiring more than double the number of
micro-processors than Toy Story 2 to render.
So, do these
innovations make Monsters Inc a good movie? Here are my thoughts.
