The return to form for Pixar

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2014)

I will admit to being nervous about this film because Monsters Inc. is one of my favourite animated films of all time and I didn't want this film to be bad like I believe the past few have been. Luckily this film is great, not as good as the original but great none the less. This prequel to the original is based showing a younger Mike and Sulley in University and how they go from enemies to best friends. The main positive for this film is it's heart there are scenes that will hit you where you live and make u feel even more love for these two characters. But also these side characters who I thought would just be an annoyance turn out to eventually be almost as important as these two guys and they grow on you. With the great animation, twists and turns and colours that will stand out provide this film with a great coming of age story for two characters. However, it does slow down a bit at times and gets a bit boring but then a nostalgic moment hits you and makes you laugh. This is a great film hopefully leading to more great Pixar films.
