"Monsters University" G
Mike and Silly are freshman in college in the bizarre prequel to the original hit, Monsters Inc. Why? Cash grab perhaps? Currently there is a cartoon called Monster High, perhaps one of their inspirations, and a remake of Animal House is undoubtedly around the corner, so why not make a college based Monster story? Sure. That will not sound like Ahh Real Monsters even more. The Ahh monsters were in high school, right? Ah yeah. Yikes. Is it because the 8 year olds that watched the first one are now in college and will feel nostalgic 12 years later? Unlike Toy Story 3, which actually made sense, this doesn't. They couldn't do a sequel so they go back in time and show how Mike and Sully met. The problem is, nobody cares. Really. This is information that's just not important. It brought up more questions than answers. It included weird prat and frat sight gags that were lost on anyone that might be under 12. At one point they joke about how frats tend to haze each other. Yeah, little kids know all about that. Exactly who is the target audience? They might not even know. This shoud have gone direct to video. I'd prefer to rewatch Monsters Inc instead, which was not great but better than this. The best part is in the end credits with the snail late for class.Furthermore, Animal House is a better movie than this, and not for kids.
