Jun 21, 2013 · Monsters University. If you were worried that animation giant Pixar was dipping into the same old wells too often (" Toy Story 3 ," " Cars 2 ," et al), the announcement of a prequel to their 2001 hit "Monsters, Inc." might have given you pause.

No, a prequel to Monsters, Inc. wasn’t exactly something anyone was crying out for. Not because Monsters, Inc. isn’t a great movie (it is), but because what mysterious backstory did we need filled in? Mike and Sulley are buddies and they work at Monsters, Inc. together. That’s enough, right?
So no, we didn’t need Monsters University. But the movie that was made? It’s a really fun, entertaining one.
Monsters University is Pixar’s take on a college movie, with Mike (Billy Crystal) and Sulley (John Goodman) reintroduced as freshmen at MU, both with dreams of making it as a “scarer.” For Sulley, it’s what he was born into – his dad is a beloved, legendary figure in the scare world. For Mike, it’s been his passion since he was little, and he’s worked and studied as hard as he can.
As it turns out though, Mike and Sulley don’t start out as friends – in fact, they kind of hate each other and Sulley, well, frankly, he’s a jerk. He’s a big guy with a huge roar and he finds scaring very easy and scoffs at and at points outright bullies the studious Mike. But circumstances soon find the two forced together as unhappy “brothers” in a much-mocked fraternity, Oozma Kappa (OK), that is taking part in MU’s annual Scare Games. I won’t get into the specifics of why both Mike and Sulley are both in OK, but suffice to say, their future is on the line and they are being watched closely by the very frightening and intimidating Dean Hardscrabble (Helen Mirren).
It doesn't have the emotional weight of the first one (Boo, you are missed), but Monster's University is still a fun and funny movie in its own right.
Jun 21, 2013 · Monsters University aces a two-part test—first, appealing to kids with gorgeous, hyperrealistic animation that teases out every pink hair on a beastly art student; then luring in parents with several knowing jokes about strumming your guitar on the quad or playing beer pong.
