I Watch Movies: Monsters University
A prequel to Monsters Inc. Like many prequels this has a big old heap of dramatic irony; we know (vaguely in my case because I didn’t pay attention to the details of Monsters Inc when I saw it a few years ago) that the rivals will end up being friends and also that children are not in fact deadly to monsters.
SPOILERS for Monsters Inc by the way.
This is a college comedy film, toned down a bit for kids. The Jocks, as well as being physically big meatheads, are also top of the class of the most prestigious course, the Scaring Program. So the nerds do things like scream-can design and door manufacture. They aren’t even good at classwork.
My five year-old co-reviewer enjoyed it, but when it came time to watch a film on another day he chose to repeat A Bug’s Life. Take that as you will.
Watch This: For a silly, family-friendly college film about monsters
Don’t Watch This: For a fresh innovative take on the Monsters universe?
