Not that bad, better than the original

Rating: 7/10 (22 October 2013)

I'm not a big fan of the Pixar movies - I've not seen them all (and don't plan to) and I outright hate The Incredibles, for examples. Having said that, I liked this one. It is definitely an OK movie for a "one-time watch" and is more interesting and well animated than the original one. To be honest, I never got the appeal of Monsters Inc. and why it was considered one, if not the, best Pixar films... What more could be said about "University" ? It is very pretty and beautifully animated, but for Pixar is not an achievement . It complements the universe of monsters with new parts of the world , but not beyond anything outlined in "Inc.". Sometimes it is a desperately short flight of imagination and poetry, but sometimes it takes the original most banal clichés.
