Monsters University
This is Mike's story - about pursuing his dreams and struggling to find his place along the way. His goal in life is to become a Scarer at Monsters Inc and the path that he needs to follow starts at Monsters University!
Here the Monsters are introduced before they come of age and are comfortable with themselves, much like a mirror of real college life. The characters are young, wide eyed and full of dreams of how they think their futures should be. We get to see new sides to them compared to when they were introduced to all those years ago.
There are new characters too! Along with the voice talents of Billy Crystal and John Goodman as Mike and Sulley, Steve Buscemi returns as a young Randall along with Helen Mirrin, Alfred Molina, Nathan Fillion and more and look out for the icon of all Disney Pixar movies, a cameo by the voice of John Ratzenberger!
As we go back in time we've actually moved forward in technology! Since the Monsters debut in 2001 Pixar has developed new ways to make the monsters bigger, brighter and furrier! With over 500 new characters and so many colorful settings, Monsters University made the college setting all felt very real. From moving into the dorm on the first day to finding you way around a sprawling campus, you get to experience and explore along with Mike and Sulley.
Monsters U is a hilarious and enjoyable movie for both kids and adults with an honest, inspiring message that life doesn't always work out the way you planned but when "one door closes, another one opens." A fun, touching story about life and friendship!
Monsters University will be in theaters June 21.
