Monster bei der Arbeit

Second season was far superior to the first. New characters were fun and helped build the world in addition to bridging the first two films together. First season was very slow but really enjoyed the direction and writing of the second season - and the divide of the monsters that were pro laughing and against it. The conflict particularly that rose in the last few episodes were fantastic even through overall it was a rehash/retelling of the films we've already seen. Would like to see them go in a more broad direction if it continues further instead of focusing so much on the tension between the two friends. However, fun series and season 2 wrapped everything up extremely well.

This show is awesome when Mike and Sully are on screen and when they're on the laugh floor and when discussing the business. The protagonist is relatable and likable. But everything about MIFT, and the over the top physical "comedy" is absolutely atrocious.

The maturity level for this show is not on the level of the movie at all and it is disappointing.

Also the animation looks especially cheap for everything including Mike. Sully still looks great and the backgrounds are solid but everything else looks pretty bland.

The only things keeping me watching are Mike n Sully, the business itself and the atmosphere of the facility, and the familiarity/nostalgia. Right now it's a 7 for me but I can see it getting worse if MILT stays prominent.

This plays very much like a family friendly version of a work place comedy-i.e. The Office, Parks and Rec etc.-and it has enough laughs per minute to make worthwhile to watch. I also like that the show manages to work in a pretty mature theme-i.e. Trying to build a life after your job is rendered obsolete-to rest the entire show on. It works well with the original film's theme of scream shortages standing in for peak oil.

The animation is clearly TV production but it is Pixar quality as well.

I along with many loved the original Monsters Inc. For taking the concept of the ole' monsters in your closet myth we all used to believe when we were young and building it into a unique world with likable and funny characters. For the most part, currently we're only 2 episodes in, Monsters at Work needs to work on what worked with the original, the world building is solid with callbacks from the 2001 film and Monster University that anyone who liked the films will enhance the experience. Monsters at Works' comedy is the main flaw with the series, there are funny jokes don't get me wrong but there are a lot jokes that didn't get a chuckle out of me which is kinda surprising for Pixar who has proven track record with comedy. Both Monster films are consistently funny in my opinion and to see this not quite hit the mark is little surprising since they've done it for 2 films already, might just be the first 2 episodes but it felt like they weren't firing on all cylinders. That's the main flaw but some other minor flaws would be Sully kinda feeling out of character, few of the character designs feel uninspired granted with good designs to make up for it like Duncan, but overall the series can be good but if the comedy is not going to improve then that would be a shame because I want this to do good. Also credit to the animators as the animation looks great for tv and this may be the fist series to truly do full smooth cgi for an entire series so that's a step forward!

I was really happy to see some of the same people doing the voices. Love John Goodman and Billy Crystal. Good childrens show with some things adults can appreciate also.
