Monsters Inc? More like, Monsters StINK! Am I right?
...Wow that was almost worse than this movie itself.
Pixar's Monsters University is a pretty disappointing film, but it has an idea deep inside of it. Here we find the reason(s) why this movie wasn't as satisfying as it could had been.

A movie I highly recommend: The Gospel According to Matthew (starring a very animated and engaging acting performance by Bruce Marchiano, who plays Jesus). This is a word-for-word adaptation that has a unique take on the body language and charisma of Jesus, and also makes it easier to understand and quicker to read the story. I am hopeful that this movie gives you peace, love, hope, security, comfort, and answers, as it did me, and continues to do to this day. God bless you.

I found it interesting that Mike wanted to be a scarer but but settled for being a coach to Sully because he accepted that he’s no scary. That’s character development
KJ what’s confusing is that some of the scarers have enhancers like dentures or extra spikes, so why couldn’t mike do that?
Arzola yeah. I guess it doesn’t matter anyway because the scarers learn that scaring isn’t the best.
@@amorfm4071 and design wise Mike is pretty terrifying for a kid

I actually kinda like Monsters University, cause I watched it during a difficult time in my life, and it really cheered me up.
Exactly the same. That's why I occasionally put it on if it's been a while and I'm feeling down. It's not a fantastic movie but it makes me feel better for some reason
WeegeeSlayer yeah I like the movie
my college years were very very similar. getting kicked out of a program, feeling hopeless cuz the career i chose wasnt working out? i suck at it, i wanted to quit.
this movie is a good reminder of "option 2/plan B will be okay dont worry"
Thank god I’m not the only one who likes monsters university sure it may have been predictable but I overall loved how it was played especially their own group called Oozma kappa.
I respec that, entering college next year 😭😭
I actually love this movie. I respect your opinion but criticizing a prequel for having predictable conclusions is a little much.
Julian Montgomery agreed
It's like hating the star wars prequels because we know what happens afterwards, like that's not the point, the point is to show HOW it all became bad, and how everyone got to where they were by episode 4
Like, it's to be expected that there's going to be a lot of predictable conclusions.
It's a PREGQUEL.
THANK YOU

No wonder they did a prequel. A sequel to Monsters inc. wouldn't work. Kids and monsters get along and there is no conflict. There is no unfinished buisness. I love this movie but not quite as much as the original its still alot of fun.
@George Henry But I am just thinking logically in terms of the story. Without conflict there is no point. The point of monsters is to scare children in closets its a premise everyone can relate to. Now monsters and kids get along there is no point any more. If they did a sequel the whole movie would be monsters telling purposely corny jokes. No body wants to see that because it is boring.
@George Henry I actually did think of something. But those are pretty terrible. Monster hunting really? It sounds too dark and nobody learns a lesson and its a maddive tone jump from the first one. Its supposed to be wacky and silly. The whole joke is they are monsters but monsters are like normal people and its just a job. The second one is a rehash. What if they hurt the kids( They already addressed that with the scream sucker.) Another boss that wants to scare the old fashioned way how would Mike and Scully resolve that. Laughs are 10 times more powerful so there is no reason to switch back. And it lacks heart. Pixar movies are supposed to be cute and heartwarming.
@George Henry Also they sound way too fanfiction esque. Rather than something Pixar would actually make.
@George Henry Here is what I thought of. Its an 8 minute short because this can't carry a whole movie. Boo grew up and had her own kid. Boo is currently a professional stand up comedian. Her daughter is very serious, has a dry sense of humor, and nothing makes her laugh. She is 8 years old. Mike and Scully come out of the closset and try everything to make her laugh but nothing works at all. At the end a horror movie comes on or something and scarry stuff makes her laugh. The end. It's cute, it sounds like something they would actually, make it would be nostalgic for old fans and it would be funny.
@George Henry 1.) It sounds pretty on brand to me. Its kinda like Toy Story 3 where we got to see Andy grow up. 2) All the pixar shorts have a simple plot with lots of phyiscal comedy 3) They have made tons of Toy Story and Cars Shorts how is this any different they even made 1 monsters inc short, 4) By fanfiction esque I meant it has all of the stupid fanfiction cliches like being over the top and gritty. 5. ) It builds on what is there and anwsers un anwsered questions 6.) Monsters Inc is getting a series all about new monsters who make kids laugh. 7.) You used quotation marks wrong, 8.) It was very faithful to the original and doesn't contradict anything 9.) It anwsers unanwsered questions what is Boo like when she is grown up 10. ) I made her a stand up comediam because it would be kinda cool if she had something in comon with the monsters. 11.) Since there is eccentually world peace why force an unnesicarry conflict 12.) At least mine had a proper begining middle and end. 13.) It is cute has heart like Pixar movies usually do
I respect your opinions. But, dogging on a prequel for being too predictable is like not allowing sequels to exist because they make the first installments too predictable. Given the near perfect ending of Inc, Pixar honestly made the right call of going back, instead of forward with this world. Not only that, this movie has tons of lessons and messages that really define Pixar movies. "Work hard" "be a team player" "accept what makes you happy/what you're good at and embrace it".
This movie is given too much hate when in reality it doesn't fall short in creating a good story that brodens this monster universe.
I actually thought this movie did a good job being unpredictable considering we all knew what was going to happen in the end. They won the scare games, but then it turned out they cheated and still got kicked out, but then still found a way to work at monsters inc. like they couldn’t have gotten to the predictable conclusion in a less predictable way
A prequel will be predictable the first time you watch it. Every movie is "predictable" if you've seen it before, because you already know what happens. This argument is invalid.
I do think going back was the right call because there wasn’t much you can do going forward. This movie had a good message and it had a little bit of heart, so that’s really all that matters. It’s really not the best Pixar movie but if this came from any other studio I think it would’ve been a lot better received.
It's not too bad of a movie, I still kinda like it!
"sucks" is a strong word
Almost as if it's comparable to the emoji movie.. which is stupid
Nothing is as bad as the emoji movie, except maybe cursed movies on Netflix.
Hate to admit it, but... Emoji movie is not THAT bad.
Worst THEATRICAL animated movie in recent years? Fine, i’ll give you that. But worst overall? Well... check out these classics:
“Spiders Web, a Pig’s Tail”, “What’s up, Balloon to the rescue!”, “Ratatoing”, “Joshua and the Promised Land”, “Tentaclino”, and “Trolland”.
Granted, a lot of those could be considered more entertaining than the emoji movie in an ironic sense, but in terms of things like animation quality, voice acting quality, and an actually cohesivenstory... emoji movie kinda has them beat. Still awful though.
@@sirGuy1995 you do have a point there 👍🏾
@@sirGuy1995 Yea but those aren't theatrical releases so none of them work as good examples. And the Emoji Movie is pretty darn bad. It's full of stupid dialogue, has nothing but cliche plot lines with absolutely no surprises, and the characters in it are irritating and mean-spirited.
am i the only person who realized this is one of the few movies that said even if you don't achieve your dream you can still be happy?

@@plugshirt1684 why did you post this three times
Bro, im not hating, but you need to understand the point of this film.... Monsters. Inc, was made to show people that sometimes, doing the right thing is more important than following what you believe or what you were led to believe. Monsters University taught all of us a bunch of lessons, because that is what in my opinion, Pixar does best, it teaches. First, it taught us that in order to get what you want you have to work hard and study, you can't just rely on talent and skill alone, because studying and learning helps those talents to grow and evolve so that you can become better than who you were before. Also we must never forget that you can never be the best unless you keep an open mind and accept help from others. Like how Sully thought that since he was a "Sullivan" that meant that by logic he is the scariest monster there is, that all that training and knowledge wouldn't mean much to the son of a monster legend, but when he reached is low with Mike and accepted that sometimes its okay to say you don't know it all, and that you can't be BORN a legend, you need to work to better yourself and strive to BECOME one. Finally, it taught us that we can do anything, no matter who we are, and no matter what others tell us. That we all have things that make us special, and that those things can be used to help us get to where we want to go, it just takes a little imagination and hardwork. WE know who we are and that we can make it anywhere with help from others.. This movie was good to give us a bit of background on the characters as well as to how everything grew to be the stuff we saw in the first film. Pixar did good man, you believe what you believe but you should know that this movie, even if it was out of order with the other, was genius, and Pixar made a good call making it.

Even though this movie doesn’t compare to monsters inc, monsters university was a good and fun movie that I’ll remember. That’s as simple as it is for me.
"Boo is what made these characters shine" Yeah, but consider that perhaps the people at Pixar thought the original ending was perfect. Don't have to play to fanboy fantasies by showing boo older, or at all. Because if they made a sequel that had Boo, that's all it'd be. Fan service. I liked Monsters University. It's fine if you didn't, but I just think the argument about Boo is really only because people want to see what happens as she gets older, even if that's not what the creative team wants
yeah, I get what you mean, but if they didnt want to do a sequel then they maybe shouldn't have done anything at all
Heh heh you mean majin buu :3
Then, they simply shouldnt have made a sequel?
Monsters at Work might give us answers
Jkop still doesn’t make it good
I disagree, Monsters University is a amaizing movie
I think it's stupid that Mike is supposed to be universally seen as not scary when there are plenty of people with fear of eyes and being watched. And Squishy is supposed to be scarier that Mike. What's scarier? A little pink thing sneaking up and startling you for a short time, or a massive eyeball slowly emerging from your closet, it's claws gripping the door?
Need only to look at the Kirby series to see how terrifying a massive eyeball can be. Mike should invest in some blood tears or something.
thats done on purpose!!! squishy was more conventionally cute, but he had more to work with than mike did. mike had a strict "jump and scream" technique, and he wasnt being creative with who HE is, but he sees that in others, that's what makes him a great coach in the end.
@@RidleyKraid187 I remember those from "amazing mirror"! *shudders*
I’d be scared of seeing any monster-like undiscovered creature sneaking around my room
Bruh you're looking too far into it.
I’m pretty sure Mike said something about Sulley being jealous of his looks since the 4th Grade and MU completely debunks that
Directors confirmed It was only a joke
They could easily be retconned as a casual overdramatic joke
Yeah, that was Mike saying that.
@@tizyman7120 Actually they were originally going to have the begiining of the movie take place through Elementary school and have that be where Mike and Sulley originally met. They were rivals as kids up until Mike moved away and they never saw eachother again until reuniting in college. They cut that part out because it was too long and it distracted from the main plot. The directors acknowledge the 4th grade line as a preface for that whole deleted scene.
Jarude Heckster yeah I loved monsters university but that was the only thing that annoyed me
There’s more to the movie than isn’t given credit here.
Yup.
Give some examples
@@IcyDiamond Meh. Honestly I don't even know anymore, or at least can't explain it as well as I used to when I first watched it. I guess I feel like college doesn't really practically train you for a career which I feel is sort of the same here, although it's different in this case since Mike is his own reason he can't be a scarer. Most accurate comparison is getting to college doesn't guarantee anything, which in the movie is a little shocking that there was never some sort of practical test to get into the scare school. I feel like people go to college and then realize what they originally wanted is not what they end up doing, whether for preference or personal abilities. I relate with this. Mike's story is a well-written one; has a childhood dream that he sacrifices everything for, makes it to the school he's wanted to go to, does everything in his power to win the competition, then gets shattered when he finds out he can't actually scare at all, at least, not with this physique. He builds himself up from that.
Biggest problem with the movie I agree with is how pretty much everything revolves around scaring which, established in the first movie, goes to the gutter.
I was watching an analysis video yesterday based on this movie that talked about some deeper meanings in the movie that I agree with. This video discussed how Mike is representing people with autism, special needs, or disabilities. While they may try their best and work their ass off at the end of the day they r not able to do the same things as other people. I think this makes the movies message feel a lot more important and because of this the dean stating at the end that she will give students she didn't expect much from a chance to prove her wrong becomes much more powerful. This movie has messages that r very real and teaches people that while not everyone can do everything, that is ok and there is more paths to success than just one. While it is far from a perfect movie, I think its a nice story with a lot of deeper meanings and therefore it deserves a lot more credit than it gets.
With the dick characters. Some people don’t have reasons why. They just do it cause it’s fun. Just wanted to say that although the relevance is dead.
It stands out to me that they show Mike realizing he isn't cut out for the dream that he has been chasing since he was young, but through the support of his friend, he turns his focus to another area in the same field which he excels at. How often do kids movies show a character failing to accomplish their greatest goal, and then moving on. Sometimes you can't do anything in life and that's okay.
Ya
I think the reason why this movie is hated is not because the movie it self is bad, it's just not what the fans wanted

Well duh. XD
Maybe that's true..
This guy be like “what’s the point on watching the Star Wars prequels we know he’s going to be Darth Vader”

@@banterlona8166 How is that weird/corny? He phrased it fine. The whole argument at the beginning by Made2Express was garbage.
LMAOOOO
I have to disagree with your point about Mike and Sullivan's friendship getting stronger because of Boo, I like to see their disagreement as just one little fight in their time as friends all these years. The first time I watched Monsters Inc, I immediately suspected Mike to be a fake friend only riding on Sullivan's coattails (A surprise villain of some sorts). But then I noticed that never once has Mike betrayed Sullivan in the film, even ONCE. Like remember that scene where a Scarer and his handler was greeted by Mike and they show off their so-called "Friendship", the handler even talks about how good buddies they were, but when he found the sock on his scarer's back, he immediately reports him without hesitation.
Mike never reports Sullivan to others, opting instead to help Sullivan in any way he could.
Oh, and she's harsh to Wazowski cause he and Sullivan breaks her momento or someshit like that, idk.
You don’t relate cause you got your dream job bruh, few people do, and that’s why so many like this movie. Mike wanted to be a scarer and he failed. But instead of breaking down he moves on and finds something else that makes him happy. I’m not trying to hate on you but this movie wouldn’t make much sense to the lucky few who actually got what they wanted
I actually liked this movie cause it shows you no matter how hard you try in life to reach your dreams, sometimes it’s just not meant to be. Which is actually a good point because in reality you may work really hard to achieve that dream but you don’t end up making it. Which is kind of important to tell children so they don’t have to find out the hard way.

I personally think the movie was made for people with disabilities. It show that just because you have disabilities doesn’t mean you weak or not able to do anything . It show kids with disabilities that they shouldn’t give up their dream, but it also show that people with disabilities are not able to do thing what other people do . It show that people can’t just fix their disabilities. It show mike really wanted his dream but later on he understood that he can’t get that . Many people with disabilities can’t fully make their dream come true but doesn’t mean you can’t do other things . If you see that with that view , you understand the movie .

I actually like the ending of Monsters University. It wasn't predictable that Mike and Sully just got the job because they 'worked' the ranks, but its because of chance. Its one of my favorite Pixar movies for sure.
It's not that I love Monster University but it's a prequel, it tells what happened before Monster inc so I don't think you should criticize it because "whatever happen in the movie only lead to the first movie so there's no point", that's the point of the prequel, to show what happened before

@MiightyGuy yeah I thought it was entertaining and had a good message
Same. It was fun and entertaining at the beginning, and had a strong and actually unique message at the end. I mean how many kids movies teach that you can't always achieve your dreams and sometimes you're meant to do something else? That's a very harsh but realistic lesson. I enjoyed it.
@@TECfan1 same I thought it was clever
especially like the perspective that it deals with disability in terms of Mike simply not being scary, and even tho he puts all his effort, works harder than anyone, in a scene the dean just asks Sully "But is he scary?" "He's the hardest worker I know" "Yes, but is he SCARY?". And I love the message that there are simply some jobs and aspirations that you cannot reach because of obstacles you have no control over, but that that doesn't mean you can't be happy. What I got out of this movie was that even tho maybe you didn't and can't achieve your dream, you're not doomed for unhappiness, and that there is something out there that you will excel at. Mike not being scary isn't his downfall or something he magically fixes, just like you can't 'fix' a disability and a dangerous message is that your goals should be to 'fix' it, but that happiness is still obtainable if you're not good at what you're passionate about and that you will fail, but you will rise up again and that there is always a path towards happiness.

I personally think making a frat film is so generic and only capitalizes on one aspect of something grander. But i guess every numbnut in college is a frat, not the case its reinforcing a stereotype. Monster inc was a extraordinary idea.
Feel u missed the mark on this movie, it’s a story that shows how sometimes not everyone can achieve what they desire and that they have to accept reality, just like how Mike accepts he will never be a scarer some other UA-camrs has interesting takes on this movie

I personally think it’s a great prequel. It didn’t dwell to much on nostalgia bait.

Monsters Univ. is about character development. Being a prequel, it's not about driving a story to an interesting revealing conclusion that changes our perspective of the firt movie. Rather, it is about what drives this characters, how how they became the characters we knew in the first movie. In particular, how these characters suverted other people's and their own expectations.
Sullivan was skilled, nayurally gifted, and charismatic character, but effortless, reckless and unmotivated. Mike lacks the natural tallent, but is obstinate, resolute and highly motivated.
While Sullivan wants to simply meet expectations without having to work very hard for it, Mike is driven by the desire of challenging other's expectations about him.
Both characters complementary each other's strengths and weaknesses, and in the end they both become better versions of themselves by learning from each other. Mike realises that he lacks the natural tallent to be a scarer, but understands that his best talent is being knowledgable and motivated, and his real talent is to bring out the best in other monsters. Sullivan realises that natural talent and fame name is not enough, and that real talent comes from hard work and teamwork.
Both character arcs complement each other, and sets them up for the original movie, as we now have an insight into their personality, and how their personal past and history shaped them.
They both become better versions of themselves by learning and recognizing the best in each other.
Mike becomes less idealistic and more grounded, and cinic, while Sullivan becomes more selfless, idealistic, and optimistic
Cant agree
Monsters university is supposed to be about when you're trying, but still not being able to make it. Its memorable and relatable to many because everyone has that feeling when you're trying to get the thing you've always wanted but still failing, but MU teaches you it's okay to fail because you still haves an entire lifetime of opportunities to still make it. I think you're missing the point.

I appreciate the opinion, but feel like he missed the point of the film: Monsters U was kind of an allegory for disability. Being unable to do tings because of something you physically lack.
Yeah, like I don't want to sound mean, but it feels like he's complaining about Monsters U for not being like Monsters Inc... but it's still a different movie, just in a different universe. We already had a story with Boo, we don't really need more of that. (Although it could be pretty fun tho.) And it's a shame, cuz this guy often has some pretty interesting takes on media.
This entire video, just felt like he missed the whole point of the movie. It wasn't just about showing how Mike and Sullivan got to work at Monsters Inc, that was only part of it.
I used to agree completely but, I just saw a "Monsetrs University and Disability" video and it was pretty good and has some good damn points. It's still not perfect, but I like it. It's pretty good. I see your points though. I think it might've worked if they got this film out, before the first one? so that everything makes more sense? Idk

Even in that video she said the movie is average LOL

It’s like you didn’t even watch the video.

Keith Potts Are you seriously that thick that you didn’t automatically realize that it was going to be an opinion piece? Tip for the internet, whenever something is dealing with any media, it’s that person’s opinion, no matter how acerbic the title is.
monsters inc was abt sullys character development. u was abt mike’s. inc was better, but u is a good film and has merit.
especially like the perspective that it deals with disability in terms of Mike simply not being scary, and even tho he puts all his effort, works harder than anyone, in a scene the dean just asks Sully "But is he scary?" "He's the hardest worker I know" "Yes, but is he SCARY?". And I love the message that there are simply some jobs and aspirations that you cannot reach because of obstacles you have no control over, but that that doesn't mean you can't be happy. What I got out of this movie was that even tho maybe you didn't and can't achieve your dream, you're not doomed for unhappiness, and that there is something out there that you will excel at. Mike not being scary isn't his downfall or something he magically fixes, just like you can't 'fix' a disability and a dangerous message is that your goals should be to 'fix' it, but that happiness is still obtainable if you're not good at what you're passionate about and that you will fail, but you will rise up again and that there is always a path towards happiness. I also love that Sully can be seen to represent the student, friend, co-worker, family member, that simply relies on talent. That is brilliant because of his family, opportunity, privilege, or just raw simple talent . But, just like in the film, in life the people who rely on their talent especially during their education don't develop work habits and in the end have a great struggle to keep their name, and to try to develop these skills which many already have.
I disagree monsters university was the best honestly it explains more about Mike's personality. And I love Randall in this film..
I would still rather watch the Monsters University than to watch The Lion King remake.
Layla Hussein Nope. Monsters university has one emotional scene. The lionking downgrade ha no emotions whatsoever and it’s a sad excuse for a film.
Layla Hussein When Scar slaps Mufasa Mufasa goes straight down and it looks stupid.
Layla Hussein The Lionking downgrade is garbage. Watch the original then watch the remake and you will know exactly why it’s the worst Disney movie ever and why it’s worse than monsters university. At least monsters university had one quiet emotional moment in the film. It’s only one scene but, it has a purpose.
@Layla Hussein EVERY disney live action remake is a dumpster fire.
WHY would a company spend millions of dollars remaking a film and turning memorable characters into real life animals with faces that lack emotion?
Why not create a new movie or a sequel?
It's FUCKING lazy. They're running out of ideas. At least Monsters University managed to slip in new lore and story while fucking Lion King remake is just slapping a shitty resource pack onto a minecraft server.
But isn’t a Prequel supposed to be predictable?
Monsters inc in Kingdom Hearts 3 was basically the sequel
This movie I actually kinda good. First was was insanely better tho
Said the same thing
What ??
@@Thomzz95 im spitting fax, good movie
I actually liked this movie. what you pointed out did kinda suck. However, it was the story of a disabled kid learning to accept his disability and we saw everyone through Mike's eye. The Dean? her first words were discouraging to Mike, so that's all Mike ever saw of her from that moment on, because everyone who said he couldn't all his life was not interested in his success. The jock? he was an instigator that wanted to make fun of the new students, old bullies had it out for mike so that's all mike ever saw. In the beginning of the film Sully is portrayed as over confident and full of himself, and in reality he might have been the first day. But its obvious that Mike slowly saw him for who he was, a "gifted kid" afraid of losing that title but was spoon fed everything he needed till then and was never taught how to actually succeed. At every turn Mike and sully fail. they have ONE actual success in the whole movie, and that's scaring the adults. Mike never even gets the job he wanted. He trains scarers. Which he is happy with because he learned that yeah, he isn't scary, but he knows the most about scaring, enough to scare adults with just a little help from sully. I dislike a lot about this movie, but I got to see myself represented on the big screen in a way I felt heard.
I really love the ending. Most stories let the hardworker win after series of loses. It’s such a fresh take for a story to tell that you can still go somewhere you wanted even if the route is more unconventional.
I hope I'm not the only one that actually likes this movie. I mean, it's not amazing, but I thought it was kind of fun to see monsters react to college life.
I like it too
I love this movie
are you sure it isnt just because its the characters that you had grown attached to in the first movie?
@@Imylimee Nope. I like the first movie, don’t get me wrong. It’s probably a mix of genuine opinion and nostalgia I guess
Not only I consider it a good film, but one of the best Pixar movies ever, surpassing its predecessor Monsters Inc. You did not get it, it is not about how they meet, it is about destroying the false idea that if you push hard enough you can have anything you have dream of. You can train effortlessly, but if you do not have talent or are not born with what it needs, you will never be the best on it, on the other hand if you are talented, but you are lazy and do not exploit that talent, you will not get far as well. But the movie goes beyond that to break the cliché of most movies like this and tell us that it is okay not to achieve your ultimate fantastic goal, life can still be good, and you can still be fulfilled by doing what you like, even if you do not get as far as you had envisioned in your childish fantasies.
Isn't that like Life Advice 101. Take for example the Ratatouille, that was phenomenal
@@areaxisthegurkha I consider Ratatouille the best Pixar movie ever (maybe the best animated movie ever made), but this isn't as shallow as how it is portrayed in the video.
There are many things in this movie you can relate to. for example, Oozma Kappa's Don Carlton. I believe the ones who already work for a living can understand the struggle to always be updated and giving your best or else you are fired the moment you are no longer any good to a company.
@@LongForgottenOne I'm not demoralizing the actual quote or advices, I'm just saying that nothing beats metaphorical story telling.
You're mad that a prequel provides backstory? Also, Boo is a great character, but she doesn't "make the movie what it is". The amazing performances by john goodman and billy crystal do.
There is one fundemental flaw with Monsters Inc. that kills the immersion for me.
The idea that Mike is not scary. Admit it, if you, child or adult, saw a 4ft tall 1-eyed gremlin at the foot of your bed, jump up and scream at you, you'd freak out. It doesn't matter how desensitised you might be to horror movies, creepypastas or any scary fiction. You are faced with a literal MONSTER and it is now in your room, dead of night, screaming at you. It could sound like Pee Wee Herman and you'd be terrified.
That’s the thing. All the monsters would be scary because to us they are abnormal creatures we have never seen before
@@ultimatespidybawlz2198 Exactly, so while by Monster standards, Mike is not considered scary, by Human standards he'd be terrifying. We jump if we see a Bee, Wasp, Mouse, Rat, or Raccoon invade our personal space. Imagine something like Mike jumpscaring you in the middle of the night.
I love this movie, i think that the story is really good.
For example the fact that Mike no matter how hard he works to be scary, he'll never achieve it, is great because the hero not always wins in the end, instead it teaches kids that is ok to fail, that things dont always go as planned and that when they do you can always find another way to achieve their goals
This is a horrible take on the prequel.
Fun fact: Kingdom hearts 3 actually did made a sequel to the first movie with the monstropolis world, and I like to say that it had a fairly decent story, so if you really want to see a sequel to the original monsters Inc, play Kingdom hearts 3!
art I’ve never played Kingdom Hearts but I have some of the games
It was good honestly. Fun and interesting conclusion
Monster’s university is truly the best movie about the realism that not all of us can face our dreams mike never can be scary but he realizes that’s okay he is in the at the end of the movie content with what he has he had a good friend and got a job that was close enough to what he wanted which is an amazing message
I wouldn’t say it’s bad, it’s just kind of average.
I’m not ready for this opinion
lmao big mood
this and turning red get so much hate for so little reason and yet overrated bullshit like a bugs life and incredibles get a free pass, will never wrap my mind around that
Tbh I don’t think incredibles was overrated but bugs life definitely
nah increíbles gets the perfect amount of popularity for how good it is. But bugs life is just garbage :/
Because the incredibles is an insanely good movie. It masters all aspects of cinema. But idk about a bugs life. And I do love MU
Monsters University is better than turning Red tbh
@@dunkboyxd6618 I wholeheartedly agree
I like the movie since it gives us the background on the characters and it gives an explanation why Randall hates Mike and Sully
"Is that a joke?"
" no but (blank) was a joke "
NEEDS TO BE A MEME
This whole video was an L lmaoo💀
I'm gonna be honest, this video is old, but it kinda bugs me bc I feel like it doesn't quite grasp the characters and especially Mike's and Sully's arcs.
Personally I recommend watching The Sin Squad's video on Monster's University, bc it has a totally different take on this movie that I feel is more true to what the movie tries to say.
I agree: I really appreciate the take from the sin squad. I always had a soft spot for monsters university even if it wasn’t a perfect movie. I feel like this video doesn’t quite get sully’s and Mike’s characters and conflict and how it ties in.
The school president doesn't like Mike because he isn't scary and Sully because he's lazy and relies on his dad's success
You mean Dean Hardscrabble?
Monsters university is in my top 5 favorite pixar films, I don't understand why It is so hated
Although it't not anywhere near my top 5 favorites, I really like it. I think the message is great and it's entertaining.
Tbh, it's connection to Monsters Inc doomed it from the start. I think without the connection and it being it's own story with original characters it would have been amazing, especially considering with tweaks to the script this could work with humans, achieving human goals in the human world
It’s tied for the 2nd worst Pixar movie, it’s like every other college film ever made.
@@theconfusionman7969 uh nah man it def is top 5 fav idk what ur on about
@@billplayz-3667 It’s not even top 5 Pixar, idiot.
Welp! That's your opinion. Monsters University is definitely one of my favorite Pixar movies, though.
I want to say that I respect your opinion, and I'm sad that you didn't enjoy the movie as much as you'd hoped! I loved it because I felt it was more relatable and realistic than Monsters Inc. Monsters Inc went into themes like questionable business practices and fear. But Monsters University was so realistic in showing that even if you work hard, play hard, life doesn't always give you what you want. Mike found happiness at the end despite his hardships. He got a great job, a great girlfriend, a best bud he can count on, and he realizes he doesn't need to be a scarer to be happy. I love this movie. When I rewatched it in my teens, I cried way more than Monsters Inc could ever make me.
It doesn't suck for me. One of my favorite animation movies
I respect your opinion but seriously? You’re criticizing a prequel for explaining how things happened? This was honestly one of my favorite Pixar movies.
Same, this is my number 1 movie
I think what made me really appreciate it later on was how realistic the overall plotline is. Mike Wasowski wants to be a scarer but nobody thinks he’s scary enough so he goes out of his way to prove to everyone that they’re wrong. But he isn’t scary on his own, which is shown towards the end, but he is able to overcome this flaw and work around it with his relationship to Sully and his intellect. It could’ve went “and Mike worked really hard and became the scariest monster around,” but that would be lazy and unrealistic writing. The message it conveyed was unique, which made me really appreciate it.
It did not, in my opinion.
So Mike wasnt an scary but all those other silly monsters could be scariers? I dumb
@@fredy2041 Is that your only reason for thinking the movie was bad?
Personally, I love Monsters University.
Fun Fact: They Worked Together And Scared The Unscarable
By Working Together; They Scared What Monsters Couldnt Believe Were Scarable, *Adults*
And Not Just Adults; *TRAINED Adults*
To me, It's not a bad movie at all, it's actually pretty decent! Remember after all, this is supposed to be a PREQUEL! Not a sequel! I think it showed great representation of how Monsters Inc. was all started and how Sully and Mike became friends! I found Monsters University quite interesting tbh! I loved it when I was a kid! Yes, Monsters Inc. Is better but that's the point! A sequel is supposed to be better! Because Monsters Inc. Is technically the sequel, grant it, it was made earlier but it's still a sequel! So therefore, for a prequel, I think Monsters University was actually quite good! It showed great representation! This is just my opinion, whoever don't agree, that's fine with me! 💜 :)
nah this is such a terrible take lmao.
And here we have is a manchild who doesn’t know the definition of “Prequels”
waaah waah
So you're mad that a prequel makes a connection to the movie it's leading up to. You don't make any sense. Do you know prequels work. Have you ever seen a prequel before. This video is a living L
Sorry, I can't relate. I enjoyed both Monsters Inc and Monsters University very much.
I feel like this movie gets a little unfair treatment, I agree with almost all the points you make but I feel like Monsters U is relatable and i know it's important that worthington and heartscrabble have motives but maybe that's not important. We don't always know everything about those who condensed us. I think the message and it's delivery is the most important part and I think it did well on both of those parts. I also think it's unfair to say the plot is uninteresting and I already know what's going to happen. That's the POINT of a prequel, to explain how the characters we love so much got where they were. And I know you make the point of "it's just a scare competition" the point is not that it's a scare competition, the point is that Oozma Kappa is defying all odds and working hard to succeed when everyone has no faith in them. I still really like this movie and I think I've actually rewatched it more than inc. bur I think it's all up to interpretation and preference.
I know this is a unpopular opinion but I like Monster's University better then Monsters Inc
Sameee
Idk who raised you but I will find them and seek vengeance for your sake
Monster University is too underrated and undervalued. In my opinion it is better than Monster Inc however a few years back I much preferred Monster Inc when Monster University was released. But with hindsight and by revisiting its 2 films dozens of times, Monster University made me understand important things that Monster Inc could not have passed on to me, even at the level of the approach to its universes which connects its 2 films, Monster University does it in a smarter way in the atmosphere it offers and more realistic in the message it wants to convey. Monster Inc is also very good but it's more the nostalgic side that speaks for it because Monster University is really a misunderstood centerpiece.
I always thought that monster university came first because I watched it in that order
Damn M.U was 8 years ago
Well, even if i disagree with you, that's still your opinion, and i respect your opinion. But for someone like me who live in a 3rd world country, and didn't finished college, this movie speaks to me on a spiritual and emotional level.
I've seen some of my schoolmates in highschool, that are now accomplished engineers, teachers, nurses and on to other careers. While here i am at 30 years old, wondering if i'll ever get a chance to chase my childhood dream of becoming a paleontologist; heck i didn't even know people who loves dinosaurs with degrees are called paleontologist or a job called paleontology even existed back then, all i know is i love dinosaurs and want to live a life involving dinosaurs.
And even tho we're poor, but ever since i was a kid i've been collecting toys, books and other stuffs that involve dinosaurs. But badly none of my country's university offer that course, and even if there is, i'm still too broke to study for it.
It may not be the best for you, but that doesn't mean it's the same for everyone. The way my perspective see it, "is that you cannot get everything you want, even if you give it all you got", like how mike was portrayed here is an eye opener for me, and just settle and be happy at what you have, because you don't know people just like sully who we think can get everything at arms reach also suffer inner demons they don't want others to see, because if others see their weaknesses, they might think it degrades them.
So in my opinion, this is the best pixar movie.
I feel this is specially true, if you read it as kinda of a metaphor for disabilities... as those can make some dreams LITERALLY PHISICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for a person to achieve. I mean, Mike wants to be a scarer, but he can't, at least not in the way Sullivan is, because he doesn't have a scary body. He studies, and tries hard, but he can't scare children.... at least not by himself, what he CAN DO however is combine his mind and knowledge about scaring children with the body of a scary monster like Sullivan, and ends up pulling the biggest scare anyone has ever seen, by scaring adults... not just any adult... but COPS!
Also I love to think Mike could be a hell of an Horror movie/book writter if he wanted too, and he's also a great comedian. He wasn't able to achieve his original dream, at least not in the way he originally wanted, but he was still successful in the end in his own way.
Same here.
From the person that always feel left behind in life, MU is my favorite animated movie ever.
I think the best part of the prequel is the context it gives to Mike Wazowski's mentoring of Sulley. Before watching the prequel, his mentoring could easily be written off as overconfident, and overestimating his knowledge in a discipline that he doesn't directly work in (especially as he's protrayed as the kind of character who has an inflated sense of worth).
The prequel however shows that he actually has an almost unparalleled understanding of the art of scaring, and that he only lacks on the practical application, and that his mentoring is a vital component of Sulley's success.
I’m sorry but this is not a review, it’s a blind and deaf person with a closed mind trying to review a prequel
This dude does depression and anxiety shit videos right after this 💀💀💀
Made in 2001??!! The animations looks so good
I first watched Monsters Inc. when I was 5 in 2010, it was one of the best animated movies I ever watched to this day... And just recently knew that it was made way back when I was born... I was stunned tbh😂😂😂

You're missing the point bro. This movie was made to explain why Randall has that evil look in the first movie, and the reason is he use to wear glasses.
imo monster university is one of the best prequels out there
"Good message, but why is their origin a prequel, why does it take place in the past, and why doesnt it acknowledge events that havent canonically happened yet? 🤔"
i actually liked the movie, it had some pretty funny moments
Literal smooth brain opinion to say there should've been in a sequel in the future despite saying just moments prior that the ending was basically perfect because they no longer scare kids lmao.
Hurr Durr we only like Monsters Inc bc Boo 🥴🥴🥴
@Audrey this whole " review " was nothing but pointless whining and whinging on his part honestly. He talks about how we know Mike and Sully will be friends again after fighting but the whole point of the movie was to explain how they became good friends in the first place, it was about the journey not the end result + it was most likely made with younger audiences who had never seen the original before so they wouldn't have a clue to how this film would've ended regardless.
There's honestly so much wrong with this video
