Movie News: Monsters University

Any Monsters, Inc. fans out there? If you are one, you’ve probably been waiting for today!

That’s right, Monsters University is here.

Just in case you’re not familiar, Monsters University is the prequel to the 2001 movie Monsters, Inc. The new movie travels back in time to when monsters and top scarers Sulley Sullivan and Mike Wazowski were just starting out at scaring school.

All you really need to know about this movie is that it’s frighteningly funny. I laughed a lot! I don’t want to give all the good stuff away, so I’ll just share my three favourite things about this flick.

1. Mike Wazowski. That little guy has got to be one of my all-time favourite characters. What’s not to love about a roly-poly one-eyed green monster with a big smile and an even bigger heart?

2. The Monsters University campus. It made me want to go to school there. (Side note: the scary Dean Hardscrabble did not.)

3. The party scene. The dance-off between Sulley and new character Scott “Squishy” Squibbles? Amazing.

If you go see this movie, come back to tell us your favourite part!
