Review:

Wow that movie was darker than I expected it to be. I don’t consider that a negative it’s just an observation. I really don’t think most children would have picked up on it, though. It was more for the adults.

I found myself crying throughout the whole thing and really wished my daughter was awake so that I could hug her. I’m apparently hormonal right now lol

It was a cute movie, I thought the concept was cool, but I don’t think I need to own it. Definitely watch it if you haven’t, but at your own leisure.

4/5

Monsters University (2013)

Director:

Dan Scanlon

Starring:

Billy Crystal

John Goodman

Steve Buscemi

Plot:

A look at the relationship between Mike and Sulley during their days at Monsters University — when they weren’t necessarily the best of friends.

Review:

I hate prequels. I already know what’s going to happen so why bother?

Having said that, I did not hate this movie. It was actually really cute. Liked the ending and the fact that it didn’t end with them winning the games.

Nathan Fillion plays a great cocky asshole and the monster that was the dean would scare the shit out of me if I ever saw it in real life.

Still wasn’t the best Pixar movie I’ve seen. Better than Brave, but not on par with their best movies.

3/5
