Monsters 2: Monsters University

Monsters University (2013)

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars


Those this has been released years after the original, it is in fact more of a prequel than a sequel. This is the story of Scare University and how our two favorite monsters started learning to scare and proving to everyone else that maybe they didn't know everything about the business after all. Amazing what can happen when you put your mind to it... and have a supportive team to back you.

Monsters 1: Monsters, Inc.

Monsters, Inc. (2001)

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Turns out being scary isn't all it's cracked up to be. A human girl, Boo, turns the Monster factory and world upside down as Sullivan takes an unusual liking to the young child. This in turn ends up revealing some interesting things about their company and helps them find and even better source of energy - laughter.
