Monstres & Cie: Au travail

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 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.

I think its a great spin on the two films Still has charm and wit of the movies.. had plenty of laughs and smiles!

Not sure why some reviews are so harsh.. ive seen terrible spin on offs of movies from the 90's and 00's that were terrible! I don't think this series falls under that category

Give it a shot!

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.
