Michael Monsters Inc was much better Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Mitchell S The original is much more... original. But I actually found this one more fun and relatable. It may not have been necessary, but it sure is inspiring! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/25 Full Review TheMovieSearch R Monsters University is an absolutely exceptional prequel and a perfect follow-up to the beloved Pixar classic Monsters, Inc. What makes this film stand out so strongly is how it revisits the world of Monstropolis while showing us a completely different side of Mike and Sully. Instead of jumping back into their careers as scarers, the movie takes us to their college days, where the two must learn not only how to scare but also how to work together—something that doesn’t come easily at first. Billy Crystal and John Goodman once again deliver phenomenal performances as Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan. Their chemistry is electric, effortlessly carrying the heart and humor of the film. The story of how these two polar opposites become best friends is charming, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt. Pixar manages to capture all the humor and creativity of campus life while wrapping it in a heartfelt story about perseverance, self-worth, and teamwork. The film’s supporting cast also shines. Each new monster introduced—whether part of the Oozma Kappa fraternity or one of the rival teams—adds a fresh layer of fun and personality. Characters like Don, Art, Squishy, and Terri & Terry each bring something unique to the mix, creating a group that’s impossible not to root for. Even Randall’s return, showing us how he started down his darker path, feels clever and well integrated into the narrative. Visually, Monsters University is a feast for the eyes. Pixar’s attention to detail brings the monster campus to life with stunning animation, vibrant colors, and clever world-building. From the frat houses to the Scare Games, everything feels alive and filled with energy. The studio once again proves why it’s a powerhouse in animation—combining technological precision with emotional storytelling that resonates across generations. Thematically, the movie hits some important and often overlooked notes. It reminds audiences that not everyone’s path to success looks the same and that failure can be the first step toward true growth. Mike’s journey, in particular, is one of Pixar’s most relatable and human stories—about finding where you belong even when your dreams don’t unfold as planned. It’s inspiring without ever feeling heavy-handed. In the end, Monsters University stands as one of Pixar’s most underappreciated gems. It expands the Monsters, Inc. universe with heart, humor, and purpose, offering fans an unforgettable prequel that adds genuine depth to two already iconic characters. With its stellar voice acting, top-tier animation, and inspiring story, this film remains a must-watch for kids, adults, and anyone who’s ever faced the challenge of proving themselves in a world that doubts them. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/25 Full Review Cece R I love this movie so much! It’s a feel good movie and one of my favorite Pixar movies! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/25 Full Review Juju S L’idée de raconter l’histoire de la rencontre de Bob et Sully à travers leur rivalité qui se transforme peu à peu en amitié est excellente. Et au final, c’est en équipe qu’ils sont plus forts… pour finalement créer un des meilleurs duo Pixar. Big up aussi à Squishy que j’adore !
