About this movie

Disney•Pixar proudly presents the hilarious story of how two mismatched monsters met and became lifelong friends in a movie screaming with laughter and oozing with heart. Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he's dreamed of becoming a Scarer-and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike's plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, "Sulley" (John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pair's out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University's elite Scare Program. With their dreams temporarily dashed, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.

For those that gripe that it needs to be for rent, I have a news flash....IT'S AN EARLY DIGITAL RELEASE....If you want to rent it then wait for it to be released on its scheduled date. Early digital releases will never be avaliable for rent, that would defeat the whole purpose of having a early digital release to help sales...geesh.

This prequel to Monster's Inc. builds nicely on what you already knew about monsters. Be forewarned, however, that there will be one sequence of events that will be an emotional roller coaster. One of the characters (don't worry I won't use his actual name), but let's call him Ike Spakowski, has a serious moment of glory only to have it ripped away. Just when your heart is ready to burst with emotion, he finds a way to redeem himself and teach us all a little bit about ourselves. It's such an intense set of moments. I literally can't even.

I really enjoyed "Monsters, Inc.". Heck, I enjoyed Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Wall-E, Ratatouille, and Up. Even though they were children's movies, they were enjoyable by adults. Monsters University (MU) doesn't take any chances and feels like a kid's movie. It's predictable, the gags are basically slapstick, and like Cars, seems to be written to maximize the theme park and merchandise tie-ins. It used to be that Pixar's mediocre fare was still better than everyone else's best efforts. This is no longer the case. I
