    A bit of Star Giant lore: Ryan has cited Monsters vs Aliens as being the movie that officially kicked off his giantess fetish, outright saying he got a boner in the theater.

    Random thought here: Compared to a lot of similar characters like her, I feel that Susan Murphy aka Ginormica, in DreamWorks' Monsters Vs. Aliens works so well as a giantess protagonist because of how relatable she is to the audiences watching the film for a few different reasons. (1/7)

    Monsters vs. Aliens (2009) I adore this movie, it's up there as one of Dreamworks' funniest animated films and not a single joke in it is unfunny. It's quite by the numbers in terms of plot but the comedy, characters and voice cast more than make for that.

    I've only seen it once or twice, years ago, but I still don't think I've ever seen a movie that comes as close to being as profoundly empty as Monsters vs. Aliens. That movie just conveys SUCH large spaces, with SO few living beings in them, it just feels very... off, on a fundamental level.

    Is it bad to say that I kinda agree with Stella's take here? Apologies to my fellow Zillennials and my Gen Z youts who might have actual affection for the film (besides getting *awakened* by a particular poster advertising its French dub when she was 12), but Monsters Vs. Aliens wasn't all that...

    I think Big Hero 6 has sort of become Disney's equivalent to Monsters vs. Aliens. A solid movie that's gotten good representation from video games and even a TV show and shorts, but still overshadowed by being released in-between more popular films and never got a legitimate sequel to this day

    I've heard a lot of different comparisons to deride the N.Sane/Nitro-Fueled art style, namely the character models, but IMO there's only one that’s correct: They look like C-tier DreamWorks films from the mid to late aughts like Monsters vs Aliens and Bee Movie.

    Monsters vs Aliens (2009) Found this pretty entertaining actually. The antagonist is kinda lame as hell but the main cast carries enough to get past that. I really appreciate Ginormica actually, a lesser movie woulda had her take heavy backseat to the other monsters. It was nice.

    Monsters vs Aliens is another standalone DreamWorks film this time with classic B-movie monsters facing off an alien invasion. A human girl named Susan (Reese Witherspoon) becomes a giant woman, and is placed in a secret government program with other monsters to what else, fight off evil aliens.

    And speaking of Katzenberg: I am sure others have commented on this, I know Animat has, but seeing how Lord Farquaad was modeled after former Disney head Michael Eisner, did the team behind Monsters vs. Aliens intentionally design Gallaxhar, the villain of the movie, to look like Jeffrey?
