I admit it, I liked Monsters University, the prequel to Monsters Inc.

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2013)

It had been years since I watched Monsters Inc. so I wasn't sure how I'd react to watching this prequel. It actually is quite funny in spots but the drama of Mike trying so hard to fulfill his dreams and how Sully often fails to life up to his family reputation permeates most of the film. Still, I had a good enough time watching this and also hearing Steve Buscemi again as one of the college students was a hoot to listen to. Oh, and I recognized another of the voices as that of a Murray brother but I thought it was Brian Doyle-Murray and not Joel! And, yes, Billy Crystal and John Goodman are once again charming enough as the lead voices here. So in summary, Monsters University is a good enough follow-up to its previous predecessor...
