Love their viral marketing strategy. This website replicates a lot of the college websites out there. Gotta love their section on Admissions (The 'MAT' and their excerpt of a Personal Essay, LOL).

Actual trailer is also here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHIXF1ucwSU

I was apprehensive about Pixar, considering the weaknesses of their last two releases (Cars 'The Disaster' Two, and Brave, which was 'meh'). However, Monsters University looks good so far. It doesn't hurt that I liked the original Monsters Inc.

 

I'm loving the concept of the MU website.

I think it's an odd idea for a sequel though. In the first film, Sully and Ike were full-time workers in the scream factory, weren't they? Now they're heading off to university? It'd make sense if the Scream Factory shut down at the end of Monsters, Inc., but the website references the school of scares and fear majors, so why aren't they moving laterally into new occupations?

Lol, maybe they're going back to get their Masters.

Edit: NEVERMIND, it's a prequel. I don't know, I would've liked to see a continuation of their lives in a sequel, with Ike and Sully having moved on with their lives, but Boo being slightly older and remembering them.

 

Know what you mean, Andro. I would loved to see Boo again, especially after the way Monsters Inc. finished, but alas, what are we supposed to do? At least the MU website seems very promising.

Rumour has it that we might be getting a Finding Nemo sequel soon too. Fingers crossed that Ellen Degeneres returns as Dory; that fish was hysterically funny.

 

I'm not liking this new trend of sequels for Pixar. Toy Story was one thing, but Cars 2 sucked royally (not that the first Cars was a gem), and I've always liked Pixar for their original stories.

Still haven't seen Brave, though my parents got it for Christmas.

 

Heresy! Dory was hilarious, especially when she tried to speak "whale". Her buddy bromance with Marlin - one of the two important relationships in the film, the other being Marlin's father/son relation with Nemo - anchored Finding Nemo with an emotional centre. It doesn't hurt that this emotional anchor was also fracking funny.

 

Pissed about the Monster's University hat being sold out. I'm a guy who wears hats a lot. As an example, I've worn my hat into the shower before, and when my hair was longer the tips of some of my hair had actually curled to come up around my hat.

Anyway, what I'm driving at, is that they'd better restock some, because I'd wear the fuck out of that hat.

 

I'd be very surprised if this movie is as heart-warming as the original. Should still be good for a few laughs at least.

Also, cool recruitment video about it.
