"While I've never really seen a full episode of Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, I'd imagine Monsters, Inc. was generally the superior work of fiction. What made Monsters, Inc. so good was that it had humour both children and adults could be entertained by, spectacular CGI, and a story which managed to be very emotionally touching, at times."
Wow, just like every other pile of nonsense that is being churned out by disney and pixar.
You can't compare a 15 minute an episode cartoon to a major animation film, especially if you're comparing the length in which the fiction is shown out in, the 'effects' and how emotional it can be. Cartoons aren't meant to be emotional. Cartoons don't have the time to do what Monsters Inc. did (5 years of animation) and you can't contrive a blockbuster plot that has everything you want in a major hollywood production into 11-15 minutes of cartoon.
The only thing you can compare is (1)originality....."aaah! Real Monsters" wins, hands down. (2) Voice acting, Billy Crystal and John Goodman lend their ACTUAL voices, the voices actors in A!RM improvise. (3) Merit for what it is trying to do, in which both succeed.
Oh and, please don't compare when you're basing your opinion on less than a full episode....that would be a hyprocitical uninformed opinion.

I agree with andrew, a fear of monsters is a part of western chld psychology. Both are simply taking a spin on that myth. Everything borrows, that's how we learn. The best action is from the obsolete.

first of all i dont think there is a connection between both. mainly because the only thing connecting them are monsters acting like humans. the rest of if all is completely different. second of all, its ridiculous to compare aahh real monsters and monsters inc because one is a fricken television show and another is a fricken movie!
