Monsters University aces a two-part test—first, appealing to kids with gorgeous, hyperrealistic animation that teases out every pink hair on a beastly art student; then luring in parents with several knowing jokes about strumming your guitar on the quad or playing beer pong.
They're back... and its GOOOOD.
MONSTERS UNIVERSITY is a prequel to MONSTERS INC., directed by Dan Scanlon. The characters include the voices of Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Hellen Mirren.
The film goes back to where Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan were before they were buddies and in Monsters Inc. It shows how the two of them were in university, showing the relationship between them which led up to the two of them becoming the best of friends.
Alright, so MIKE AND SULLY ARE BAACKK!!! Well, thats what every kid or adult that was associated with the enjoyment of Monsters Inc should say. Okay, so it's been 12 years since we saw these two on-screen, providing us with animated humor, and now they're back again, to show us how they were in University. The teaser trailer was extremely funny as it showed a prank played on Mike by Sully, and it gave a short look-in into the sort of relationship we would be seeing. Soon enough, the trailer came out and boy did it get people hooked. Finally, I was able to catch a premiere screening of the film, to my advantage, and IT WAS GREAT.
So let's start talking about the film, not necessarily the trailers. Who are we kidding, at first when we heard that Monsters University was coming, that a sequel was coming to the classic Monsters Inc, we gave up hope, saying that no one could make it better than the first one. But Dan Scanlon challenged that, and the first teaser proved it. And I think that the movie does it as well- kinda. So, Monsters University isn't AS good as Monsters Inc, but it does come second in line. It includes Mike and Sully in an underdog team, but throughout the film, you can't help and laugh out at the jokes, and smile at the fact that the sequel is finally out.
Monsters University is GREAT. It has two parts and its all happy and fun. I, honestly, liked the way they showed the chemistry developing between Mike and Sully. You can actually feel it, and even though its animation, it feels real. This one isn't quite sad, like how Inc was. Inc ended in a sad tune, at the fact that Boo was gone, but this one ends at the beginning of Inc. I loved the way it ended. The line that Mike uses just makes you go like, 'YEAH! Thats what I'm talking about!' Honestly, I'm not gonna say any more, because I don't wanna spoil anything for anyone.
In the end, Monsters University is great fun. Pixar has done it again, the director has managed to do it. I don't think that there is gonna be another part to the franchise, which kinda dulls me, but at the end of Monsters University it makes you wanna see more, which you will only get by watching Inc, since its the continuation. Go watch Monsters University, with anyone to be honest. I guarantee you an extremely fun ride that these two will give you.
As a piece of summer entertainment, this strenuously upbeat prequel to Pixar's "Monsters, Inc." passes with vibrant colors and will, of course, excel at the box office...But as an offering from Pixar, the studio that set the platinum standard for contemporary animated features, it's an awful disappointment — and one more reason to worry about Pixar's future under Disney ownership.
The animation is snappy in the way it handles an extremely eclectic-looking bunch of monsters. The 3-D effects are nifty but, as with so much about "MU," not necessary.
Surpreendente, emocionante, motivador. Esse longa é a continuação que Monsters Inc merece, e mais.
Essa obra tem de tudo. Momentos hilários, personagens únicos, diversas referencias ao universo presente no primeiro filme, background de alguns personagens, reflexões importantíssimas que enfrentamos no dia a dia, e tudo isso num ritmo maravilhoso.
Toda discussão em torno de ser o que dizem de você é muito importante, principalmente para o publico mais jovem. O contraste entre os dois protagonistas funciona muito bem para expor privilégios, mas também serve como uma conscientização: todos nossos problemas devem ser considerados; nem desmerecidos ou enaltecidos. Mike é muito esforçado, e sua mente é forte porque toda vez que alguém apontou o dedo na cara dele e disse que ele não podia fazer algo por conta de ter nascido daquele jeito, o mesmo procurara uma maneira e se esforçara 3x mais do que uma pessoa comum só para provar o contrario. E é justamente isso que vemos no filme. Já Sullivan, vem de uma família conceituada, e tem diversos privilégios. Porém, o que todos não vêem é o peso que ele carrega nas costas. Todo o medo de fracassar o aterroriza, mas ninguém além dele sabe disso. Esse cenário é uma alusão a tantas coisas no mundo real que é impossível não se identificar, simpatizar e emocionar com a trajetória dos personagens.
A animação gráfica é excepcional, tendo um avanço bem significativo desde o primeiro filme. A OST é muito boa, e o tema original usado em alguns momentos casou muito bem. O filme é bem amarradinho e não possui pontas soltas, deixando o roteiro mais impressionante ainda. E falando de coisas impressionantes, não posso deixar de mencionar o clímax. A cena de Sullivan e Mike assustado os policiais para voltar ao mundo deles é uma obra de arte. Toda construção, suspense e medo pelos personagens foi muito bem construído. Senti falta do elemento da "energia reversa" como um plot, mas ainda sim funcionou muito bem. O ponto alto do filme, que para mim, separa este da primeira obra quanto o minha animação favorita.

Ok.
Si lascia guardare, diverte in diversi tratti, ma non lascia chissà quale forte impressione. Neanche il terzo atto riesce a sollevare il film dall'essere mediocre (considerando gli standard dello studio). Poi qualche cliché qui e là potevano pure toglierli.
Consigliato? Sì.
For a studio that made its name with storytelling strong enough for parents to enjoy, it's almost shocking to see something as trivial as a "big game" as the movie's centerpiece. Monster's University's story barely qualifies as a Disney Junior Original, never mind a Pixar product.
As much I loved Monsterc Inc. , I couldn't enjoy this prequel at all. Maybe it's entertaining for babies, I don't know, but the plot was non-existent and I could not find a single truly funny joke either. It's one of those movie which were obviously only created because the first one was a success and they wanted to make more money despite the fact that they did not have a single idea for a new movie. Don't watch this just because you liked the first one, you probably won't like this one.
