Monsters, Inc., is out now.  I went with my 9-year-old son.  We both liked
it.  Good story, well-written and coherent, good voices (John Goodman and
Billy Crystal) and excellent animation (as always).

On the animation front, Pixar has gotten really good with fur and hair --
that stuff is very hard to animate.  I'll bet one reason the first
feature-length fully-computer-animated film was about toys (Toy Story) was
that toys are pretty easy to render.  They have lots of shiny smooth
plastic.  Things like fur and hair a lot trickier.
