    9 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It is a warm, entertaining and fast-paced story about complicated friendship where a pleasant moral is interwoven with so much storytelling joy and delightful eye candy that you become completely dizzy after watching it.

  • 3. Nöjesguiden
    8.3 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Here, the children don't just laugh at the monsters they think are hiding in the closet - they also get an education in basic capitalism and learn how a healthy economy is built on good business ideas rather than cartels and shady dealings. Doesn't that feel reassuring?
    - Roger Wilson

  • 5. Moviezine
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "Monsters, Inc." may have been overshadowed by Pixar's latest year's hits, but is just as good, cheerful and entertaining. And here are, as a bonus, small, fun film references for both the younger Pixar fans and their possibly film-interested parents.
