I wanna go to MU!

Rating: 8/10 (31 October 2013)

I love Pixar's films and I loved "Monsters, Inc." Ever since the film came out, I always wanted to see a return to the world that's inhabited by creatures our imaginations tell us live under our bed and in the shadowy corners of our closets. "Monsters University" fulfilled my wish and it was a very pleasant return.
Like most Pixar movies, the story is fun and even touching as it shows the importance of perseverance and friendship. Watching Mike Wazowski and Sully go from bitter rivals to the friends we know them to be in "Monsters, Inc." was a fun trip to partake in. Not to mention that Billy Crystal and John Goodman are so amazing in their respective roles and really are able to showcase a chemistry through their voice acting.
Which is another strength that Pixar has going for them beyond their superior animation and stories: The cast they bring in to give life to their characters. This one has some great actors in it but one of my personal favorite performers in this one was Helen Mirren as the dragon/centipede head monster of the school; Dean Hardscrabble. Her chilling and calm voice seemed tailor made for the character design.
For Pixar's first prequel, "Monsters University" is a great addiction to the fictional world where monsters exist and, sometimes, have lives no different than our own.
