DisneyFanGuy, I would agree with you up until the most recent ads. The most recent ads have really pulled me in.
Coupled with the Star Wars Trailer, Monsters Inc. is sure to have a stellar opening weekend.
I don't know that it would beat Shrek, but hopefully it will make a good showing. As enjoyable as Shrek was (well I didn't completely like it, but it was fun) I can't imagine all of feature length animation being that type of story. I want my Cinderella, Lion King, etc.
