Pixar makes a prequel

Rating: 8/10 (25 June 2013)

Once again, Pixar makes a summer blockbuster that both kids and adults can enjoy. The last movie Pixar made was Cars 2, which didn't impress many adults. But despite the typical and unoriginal underdog story; what's not to like in Monsters University?
The story focuses on Mike and Sulley as students attending Monsters University. Viewers get to see how Mike and Sulley met and how their friendship began before making it to the big leagues. I must say that the voice acting in the movie is really good. There wasn't one particular character that bothered me.
As usual, Pixar delivers with its animation and colorful characters. There is simply no other animation studio that is better with those two qualities than Pixar.
Another great thing about the movie is the atmosphere. It really pulls you in and keeps your eyes on the movie. The tone matches that of Monster Inc., and that's always a good thing.
The only downfall of the movie is the typical story line. The movie never surprises you, and you can always guess what's coming next.
The main reason I like this movie so much is because it really touches on Mike and Sulley's expectations and personal issues. Throughout the entire movie, you root for the two to prevail and accomplish their goals.
Overall, Monsters University is a worthy prequel of the classic Monsters Inc. You can recommend this movie to just about anyone, no matter what their age. I give Monsters University a final rating of 8.2 stars out of 10 stars.
