Priceless Facial Expressions

You know that there are just some movies out there which can have you leaving the theaters having a warm and fuzzy feeling deep inside your stomach. I really like these kind of movies as its what I would call as a feel-good movie. Sometimes those happy endings can even bring a tide of emotions which will (almost) break the dams of your tear glands. (I'm a sucker for happy endings, always have and always will be).

Just finished watching Monsters Inc. by Disney Pixar (in case you want a complete and detailed summary go Google it). The basic point of the story is the unlikely friendship forged between a monster whose job was suppose to scare kids with a small unnamed little girl called "Boo!". Nearing the end of the movie they were suppose to say goodbye to each other and can never see each other again. But in a true classic (or rather tiring cliched) Disney spirit, the door that will allow them to meet each other again was reassembled and the facial expression of Sully (the monster I was talking about) above are his expressions as he gingerly walked through the door and the sound of an older Boo greeted him with the words "Kitty!" (its how she calls him throughout the movie).

I mean I know that the whole thing is a cliched Disney happy ending which had been done countless of times. And yet that very last facial expression in Sully's face was just priceless. The way his eyes lit up, meeting someone whom he thought he had lost forever. That split second whereby we can see the jolt of joy coursing through his body. It was absolutely poignant and touching. What a way to close a movie!
