Monsters University finally hits the theaters today! The kids and I attended a screening of the movie last week and let me tell you something, I haven't laughed that hard at a animated movie in a long time. Actually seeing Monsters Inc. may have been the last time so it was fabulous to see that even though this was a pre-qual to that they still made a family friendly, heart warming yet comical movie. I've professed my love for Disney many a times but dude really they are amazing. To pull off those three qualities in a single movie is a great feat.
If you haven't seen the trailer to the movie yet watch this.........
Ever since Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he had one dream....to become a Scarer. Now a college student at Monsters University he tries harder then any other monster there to prove his worth and show everyone there that he is the best Scarer. But not everything goes as planned. During his first semester at college Mike’s plans go awry when he butts heads with hotshot James P. Sullivan, Sulley (voice of John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer and son of the famous Phil Sullivan.
Sulley and ROR...Roar Omega Roar aka the "cool" kids
Dean Hardscrabble. Totally scary looking and for a second I was worried she might have actually scared my kids but she's not all that scary deep down, she may even surprise you.
The "underdogs" Oozma Kappa aka OK. This group of characters were hilarious both as individuals but even more so as a group.
Mike and Sulley's competitive nature ends up getting them both kicked out of MU's Scare Program. As if that wasn't bad enough, to add salt to the wound they realize in order to try and get back into the program and prove themselves worthy they will have to work together with a group of underdogs. It's a wonderful story of acceptance friendship, values and character. In short I absolutely recommend this movie for both kids and adults and Moms beware there is a scene or two that may tear you up a little bit.
