Most studios can’t pull off prequels, as they
usually feel like risk-assed films that cynically cash in on the popularity of
the original. But then again, most studios aren’t Pixar. After the lackluster effort
that was Cars 2, the animation studio
has delivered a second installment worthy of the Toy Story franchise, as Monsters
University focuses on the college days of loveable critters “Sulley” and
Mike Wazowski. With a series of well-timed gags revolving around frat parties
and campus-set antics, this can easily be considered Pixar’s Animal House, but animator-turned
director Dan Scanlon never takes his eyes off the affecting relationship
between his two protagonists. A+.
4/5
