直到现在，我都不能让自己相信电脑动画和定格动画或手绘动画是一样的。所有的电脑动画电影看起来都有点(通常是有点)过于乏味，许多动画制作得很糟糕(如《蚁人总动员》、《怪物史莱克》、《最终幻想》)，即使是唯一一个不合格的成功(如《玩具总动员2》)，也没有证据表明电脑动画电影可以达到其他类型动画所能达到的高度。《玩具总动员2》(Toy Story 2)的人物动画完美无瑕，但没有《人猿泰山》(Tarzan)(同一年上映，尽管我可以选择几乎任何其他迪士尼动画片来证明我的观点)中最棒的那一部那么有灵感;有效的艺术指导，但比不上《幻想曲》或《圣诞节前的梦魇》。我认为《玩具总动员2》是它的艺术所能达到的最好水平。我错了。这样好多了。更重要的是，无论剧本(一个异常丰富和不受约束的剧本)如何冲击媒介所允许的极限，都没有任何意义。现在已经证明，电脑动画可以和其他任何形式的动画一样好。未来是否会被允许是另一个问题，但就目前而言，我充满希望。 What we have here is computer animation's first ENTIRELY unalloyed artistic delight, with every character gracefully and characteristically animated, every virtual set just right and pleasing to look at, and an eye-tickling mastery of colour, light and shade that I thought would forever elude CGI artists. It's not fair to judge anything good as "Monsters, Inc." as though it were a children's movie, but I can't resist comparing it with "Shrek" - which emphatically IS a children's movie. "Monsters, inc." is admittedly ABOUT children, in a sort of a way. The inhabitants of Monstropolis rely on children's screams for their energy, and the central story is kicked off when one of the monsters accidentally brings a small child (which he calls "Boo") into the city. But we never see things from her point of view. We see things from the point of view of the monsters, who are all adults - and who, like most adults, see children as frightening, almost incomprehensible members of another species. And they ARE. To be sure, Wazowski comes to feel strong affection for Boo, but she never becomes more than a humanoid pet (which is not to demean the relationship). This is a story about adults looking at childhood from the outside. "Shrek", of course, is a children's movie through and through. Its attention span is short, it has an unthinking mean streak, and children will have a whale of a time watching the central characters (the bigger they are, the more fun it is) act childishly and make poo-poo jokes. "Monsters, Inc." has too much genuine wit, characters too rich, a world with too much depth, and a story at once too coherent and too complicated, to be PRIMARILY a film for children. This is not to say children won't like it. Maybe they will. (Who can say?) Here's the bonus: if they DO like it, it will (unlike "Shrek") actually have a beneficial effect. It will make them less frightened of the dark.
