Rated: 5/10
However mindless animation maybe but there is something rather cute about watching such movies. And if these happen to be the monster kind, the better. Why? The reason is simple, the monsters may be ugly to look at but these films are made for kids so they are never going to be blood curling scary or frightening. If you are the kind of person who wants to watch horror films but can’t, a good place to start is watching animation horror films like Monsters At work or the Hotel Transylvania series. There are always exceptions to the rule like Coraline or Monster House.
The good part about Monsters At Work is that it is a TV series and Disney+Hotstar has just dropped two episodes in Season 1. The 24-minute animation is simple and mindless to watch and the toddlers will love it since there are plenty of scenes that will make them laugh and the adults will smile.
The monsters here are cute even if they come with one eye or five, look like a snail or have large sharp teeth or for that matter even if they have large horns to scare the heebie-jeebies out of you if they actually existed in real-life.
But here, they are screw-ups and can no longer scare kids. Their tagline — We Scare Because We Care — gets changed to It’s Laughter We’re After. This, of course, brings in plenty of fun moments — both for the monsters who don’t know how to make others laugh and the tiny tots watching them blunder their way ahead.
