Ashleigh here starting off one of our many to come Disney movie reviews. This last Friday, Anna, Shannon, Neil and I went out to watch Monsters University. I'm not sure how the general public feels but I had been looking forward with much anticipation to seeing this movie. In all honesty, I had pretty high expectations similar to the great success of Toy Story 3. Being a part of the generation who grew up with the original movie, it's nice to see the characters grow up to and of course relate to the experiences.
Monsters University didn't disappoint. I give two scary claws up and a big ROAR to MU and encourage others to go watch. Pixar did an absolutely amazing job showing off the realistic graphics in the movie. In fact, at one scene I distinctly thought to myself how the surrounding campus scenery/background looked so realistic and Mike and Sully were animated into a real scene. Kudos to Pixar for the constant advancement in technology.
The movie is full of laughs and typical college moments to relate to as you see Mike and Sully grow together into young adults and become the friends we know them to be in Monsters, Inc. The movie as most Disney's movies do, inspires watchers that no matter what don't give up. Even if the odds are against you, you can still overcome as long as you do your best.
SPOILER ALERT!!!
Now to get into a few details, those who haven't watched I suggest you quit reading my post. I had mixed feelings of the ending of the movie.
I enjoyed the realistic plot that your plans do not always happen the way you would like them to go (in reference to Mike) because I know this happens to most people. But my feelings were mixed on Mike and Sully getting expelled from MU.
If I were a parent I might be concerned that my child might think college isn't necessary to become successful. Which I do believe that statement is true, I know many parents might be concerned or have mixed feelings on how their children will perceive the movie. On the other side, it does show the importance of not cheating (which I am a strong believer in) and a good lessons for kids to know that cheating has consequences.....some which you can't change.
Overall, I still thought the movie was great and realistic because you never know what life will throw at you. And indeed, never give up and look to other options to still accomplish your goals.
Finally, go MU and the Oozma Kappas (OK) team! For more info about the movie and merchandise, check out: monstersuniversity.com which a pretty comprehensive MU website, which seems like a real college website.
