"Monster House" is an Academy Award-nominated 2006 computer animated suspense film released on July 21, 2006. The film's characters are animated primarily utilizing performance capture, making it the second film to use the technology so extensively, following producer Robert Zemeckis' "The Polar Express". The film completed production in early 2006.
In a Columbia press release distributed the company's New York City headquarters, at an early-May 2006 screening of the film's first half, the voice cast was listed as including Steve Buscemi, Nick Cannon, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kevin James, Jason Lee, Catherine O'Hara, Kathleen Turner, and Fred Willard.
Director Kenan won the UCLA Spotlight Award for his live-action/animated horror-fantasy short The Lark. On the basis of that film, he was signed by the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) upon graduation. Kenan also garnered a 2001/02 British Academy Fellowship and the 2001/02 Lew Wasserman Fellowship in Film Production. Following "Monster House", Kenan began developing "The City of Ember", adapted by screenwriter Caroline Thompson from the Jeanne DuPrau book, for Walden Media and Playtone.
The movie is no relation to the Discovery Channel series also called "Monster House". This film was rated PG ("Parental Guidance Suggested") by the MPAA for scary images and sequences, thematic elements, some brief crude humor and language. Another reason may include the scene in which one of the boys steals drugs (cough syrup for an attempt to subdue the monster). Wikipedia
