Review from Will Johnston
At least they didn't f**k it up There is a long history where animated sequels or prequels are accessed but in this case, it was a fun time anyway. The 3D sucked but I'm glad Sully and Mike were back and as good as ever even though the plot as familiar and it didn't have the same charm. Still great though none the less.

Christy Lemire
It is essentially Revenge of the Nerds, with fur. And scales. And whatever gooey, gelatinous substance comprises the outer coating of various other oddball creatures in this crazy parallel world.
Wesley Morris
Studios don't often seem to be thinking about the ideal moviegoer, just about the maximum number of moviegoers ... Pixar is no different in that regard, but even in this relatively fallow period...
Trevor Johnston
It has enough of the right stuff to haunt the imagination long after the immediate buzz of its fluffy-furred cuteness has melted away. For a mere prequel, that's a result.
Richard Roeper
This is a safe, predictable, edge-free, nearly bland effort from a studio that rarely hedges its bets.
Peter Rainer
As prequels go, Monsters University is pretty nifty.
James Berardinelli
Although it falls short of the best Pixar has brought to the screen over its long association with Disney, it's nevertheless worth a trip to the theater, especially for kids.

Pixar has been Disney-fied I really enjoyed "Monsters, Inc.". Heck, I enjoyed Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Wall-E, Ratatouille, and Up. Even though they were children's movies, they were enjoyable by adults. Monsters University (MU) doesn't take any chances and feels like a kid's movie. It's predictable, the gags are basically slapstick, and like Cars, seems to be written to maximize the theme park and merchandise tie-ins. It used to be that Pixar's mediocre fare was still better than everyone else's best efforts. This is no longer the case. I

Great Family Entertainment This movie was great for the whole family, from 83 to 7! It had a wonderful story that the youngest could follow and the comedy spanned the gaps of all ages. It also led smoothly into Monsters Inc. Letting you know how most main characters got their start. Definately a must see for kids and adults alike.

A great story of triumph. This prequel to Monster's Inc. builds nicely on what you already knew about monsters. Be forewarned, however, that there will be one sequence of events that will be an emotional roller coaster. One of the characters (don't worry I won't use his actual name), but let's call him Ike Spakowski, has a serious moment of glory only to have it ripped away. Just when your heart is ready to burst with emotion, he finds a way to redeem himself and teach us all a little bit about ourselves. It's such an intense set of moments. I literally can't even.
