Review - Monsters University (2013)

Usually with films I love such as Monsters, Inc (2001) I long for sequels, yet always have a slight worry that it may ruin the brilliance of the first fiIm but happily I was so very wrong with this one. Soon as Pixar released the first trailer for this I almost cried with joy. Monsters University (2013) was the latest Disney film I watched and it was brilliant. The opening featured the young, and very small Mike Wazowski taking a class school trip to Monsters Incorporated, which enables him to find his dream to become an all time scarer. With the film moving on Mike attends college and during his first day on the scare program comes across Sulley, also a student who is from a long well known line of successful scarers. With both of them eventually finding themselves having to try to get back on the scare program, you're able to see obstacles and challenges through out the film as well as other characters such as Randal with his villainy explained. 

Pixar never fails to please with the clever, comedic humour and in this case does a great job in reflecting typical campus life and comedy. The olympic-like 'Scare Games' was genius, the challenges the monsters had to face where hilarious, I honestly could not stop laughing through out, the cleverness and ideas of Pixar really amazes me.The animation is vivid in colouring and mind blowing with its raw detail - just like every pixar film, especially the campus scenes. There is an insight into countless new furred crazed characters and the world of Monstropolis is explored a little more, which pleased me.  I was very impressed by both Billy Crystal and John Goodman bringing energy and excitement to Mike and Sulley creating the perfect college freshman. Through out this film is genuine joy and is something one can watch countless times and never get bored.
