No, this is not a Dreamworks Vs Pixar FlickBout!! Just that both
the movies are animated and they also came out at about the same
time (read: same generation of animation tech). “Shrek” has gone
on to foster 3 more sequels so far. However, I loved “Monsters,
Inc” and felt it was a better movie.
One of the freedoms that animation allows a filmmaker is to
literally let his/ her imagination go completely wild.
Paradoxically, the animation world still has to bear a
resemblance to our ‘real world’ so that the audience can feel a
sense of connect – and this is not for just the kid audiences,
but adults, too. To me, animation films which extend this real
world in ways that we could never have imagined is what sets them
apart from films that conjure up imagined worlds that simply work
like ours.
“Shrek” no doubt created characters – and an imaginary world of
ogres – that will probably generate many sequels and merchandise
opportunities, but where it loses to “Monsters, Inc” in my book
is precisely this: the latter movie took something that all of us
can relate to (fear of monsters under the bed) and applied great
imagination to tell a truly heartwarming story.
And actually, I felt that the monsters in "Mosters, Inc." were
far more endearing than the ogres in "Shrek" – even if Mike Myers
did do a fabulous job as Shrek.
