It's Alright

Rating: 7/10 (27 January 2014)

A look at the relationship between Mike (Billy Crystal) and Sulley (John Goodman) during their days at Monsters University -- when they were not necessarily the best of friends.
Although I enjoyed "Monsters Inc", I probably did not enjoy it as much as other people did. This, in turn, taints my outlook on this prequel, because in many ways the success of this film relies on the enjoyment of the first one (these are, after all, the same characters and voice talent).
Not to say this is a bad film. In fact, it was quite fun and a touching tribute to the world of monsters. I enjoyed it far more than "The Croods" and would rather have seen this nominated for an Oscar than "Croods", even though neither has much chance of winning. How can anything with John Goodman and Steve Buscemi be bad?
