Monsters University Review

Click Communications sent me over this movie in order to facilitate my review.

Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski was a little monster, he has dreamer of becoming a Scarer-and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University. But during his first semester at MU, Mike’s plans are derailed when he crosses path with hotshot James P. Sullivan, “Sulley”, a natural born Scarer. The pair’s out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University’s elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right. “Monsters University” bravely explores themes of self-discovery and the revelations that come with growing up.

Monsters University Review

This Fall, Disney-Pixar celebrates homecoming with the release of, “Monsters University” on digital HD mad digital HD 3D on October 8th, 2013, followed by the 4-Disc Ultimate collector’s Edition Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack, 3-Disc Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Combo Pack, 3-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and On-Demand on October 29, 2013.

Most recently I had the pleasure in reviewing the “Monsters University” Collector’s Edition Blu-ray and DVD and Digital Copy.

I was very excited to review this movie combo, I loved the original Monsters Inc. and now being able to see a movie describing how it all started was just awesome. Monsters Inc, was heartwarming, funny and I cry every time when Boo has to leave no matter how many times I have seen the movie. In Monsters University it delivers every aspect of a great family movie, it has appropriate humor, great characters, it is very appealing the young and old eye.

One of my favorite parts in this movie is when Sulley and Mike’s fraternity participate in the Scare Games, very funny. My youngest son loved the characters, we even noticed Randal in the movie! This movie captures the college life with a hint of monster style!

The movie I received to review had tons of bonus features which included:

  • Campus Life, get a look at a day in the life of the “Monsters University” crew through their own eyes.
  • Story School, a documentary examines the challenges of creating a prequel as well as theme that run through the story, and the change in focus from Sulley to Mike.

And in the midst p, two umbrellas, one blue, one not, fall eternally in love.
