Description
A group of monsters--including a supersized bride, a brilliant cockroach with a PhD, a bizarre ape-fish hybrid, a gelatinous and indestructible blob, and a 350 foot grub--are released from a government compound in order to defend mankind from an evil alien robot. In their heroic efforts, they prove that they each have something special to offer and that together they can really make a difference.

Editorial Reviews
A snappy script and some neat 3D make for an above-average romp with plenty of in-jokes for cineastes and fan-boys alike
Total Film (09/15/2009)
Brilliantly funny!
The People (09/14/2009)
Monsters vs Aliens is still unlikely to blow your mind, but it will make you bust a gut laughing, and that's certainly something worth celebrating in animation
Daily Express (09/15/2009)
The voice cast has been well chosen, with everyone delivering their lines with just the right mix of satire and seriousness. It all makes for a horrifyingly humorous hour-and-a-half
Daily Mirror (09/15/2009)
It resembles that holy grail of family entertainment, a film by rival animation studio Pixar – think MONSTERS, INC meets THE INCREDIBLES. Plus, it looks funny, and has an exciting set piece on the Golden Gate Bridge
Daily Telegraph (09/15/2009)
SHREK aside, DreamWorks CG 'toons have been eclipsed by Pixar's efforts, but this can go antennae-to-tentacle with the best of any studio
Empire (09/15/2009)
Kids will adore the flash 3D visuals, brilliant action sequences and ace sight gags. Mums, dads and others will relish the quickfire dialogue-some of the best we've heard for a while in any film-and the affectionate nods to sci-fi of times past
News Of The World (09/15/2009)
With a sharply funny script, vivid characters and eye-popping imagery, this is a raucously enjoyable animated film
Shadows On The Wall (09/15/2009)
The voice casting is superb, with Hugh Laurie and Seth Rogen the standouts along with Witherspoon. There's also plenty of amazing action. The epic battle over the Golden Gate bridge is as exciting as any top live-action movie
Sunday Mail (09/15/2009)
Aficionados of 1950s monster movies should have a ball spotting all the references. All anyone else requires is a taste for good fun
The Independent (09/15/2009)
Engagingly nerdy movie in-jokes are clearly a step in the right direction for DreamWorks
