Review of Monsters University (2013) by David N — 23 Jan 2014

Mike and Sullivan are back in one of the two big animation sequels released this year, Monsters University. This time we learn the story behind the one the scariest duos at the power company known as Monsters, Inc. and find out where it all began for them. This leads us to Monsters University, the school for scaring. Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), the nerdy underdog in the scare program, who is just looking for a chance to prove he can be a and James P. Sullivan aka Sulley (John Goodman), the lackadaisical popular party animal who has had everything handed to him being the son of a scaring legend.

I liked Monsters, Inc. a fair amount and I think if I reviewed it at the time, I would have given it a "B" as well. In saying that I would say I enjoyed Monsters University just as much, which is rare for sequels. The two main characters are fun for all ages and the story is strong enough to keep kids and parents both interested. Definitely worth a watch if you saw the first one.
