Monsters University

"Want to join Oozma Kappa?"

Rating: 3 out of 4

 

In true Pixar fashion, Monsters University is adorable, intelligent, and heartfelt.  While I am a fan of Monsters Inc., I enjoyed Monsters University much more.  The movie centers on our two loveable main characters, Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan, on their journey to become scarers at Monsters Incorporated.  We spend most of our time with the boys in college, seeing them develop into the characters we know from Monsters Inc. While Monsters University sticks to a standard formula unlike many of its Pixar siblings, I laughed out loud more during this movie than any other Pixar movie.  Monsters University is heartfelt, though not as much as the greats.  I felt some connection to the characters, but since I knew how it ended, some of the emotional investment was lost.  Monsters University also has more adult-focused humor than usual, but it is still appropriate for the youngins.
