Leave your thoughts about Monsters University.
| MediaMikesMichael A. SmithDirected by Dan Scanlon, whose PIXAR association includes stints working on "Cars," "Brave" and the short film "Mater and the Ghostlights," "Monster's University" is a worthy prequel to what is arguably one of PIXAR's greatest achievements. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesMatt Zoller SeitzTrue to the spirit of the original film, "Monsters Inc.", and matches its tone. But it never seems content to turn over old ground. |
| Toledo BladeKirk BairdThe heart of the film is Crystal and Goodman, who remain as funny, spunky, and relatable as you remember. Their buddy-buddy chemistry is so natural, the actors could team up for several more Monsters films. |
| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiA thoughtful, funny, smart and creatively conceived comedy that dares to present a message that every young person needs to learn, but that most family movies are terrified to tell them. |
| The VergeBryan BishopProof that Pixar still has that intangible magic, and is able to make movies for children, adults - and the adults of tomorrow. |
| Movie TalkJason BestAnimated gem Monsters, Inc was so hilariously inventive and original that it's hardly surprising that Monsters University can't quite recapture its predecessor's magic, yet it's still packed with witty dialogue, sly visual gags and boisterous action. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussLacks the grandeur and ambition that characterize the company's most impressive work but succeeds absolutely as a clever, beautifully rendered 'Revenge of the Nerds' campus comedy and origin story... |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanWhat could have been an easy cash-in is instead a film that delivers the goods for kids and adults alike. It's a charmer. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookIt doesn't take a doctoral degree to see that the high quality of Pixar continues in 'Monsters University,' a prequel to 'Monsters, Inc.' |
| PatheosRebecca CuseyIf it were released from any other studio, it would be their best film. From Pixar, it's not even in the top bunch. Not everything can be "Up" or "Toy Story 3," I suppose. Oh well. |
