Movie Review: Monsters University

While Monsters University didn't reach the same caliber as its predecessor, which is probably one of my favorite Pixar films to date, this was still an animated film with bucket loads of charm, personality and neat little jabs of humor. The animation style was vibrant, the backdrops were exquisitely rendered and the characters had excellent detail with an impeccable fluidity in their movements. The film offered nothing new in terms of story though and I felt like some of the humor may have gone a little old, but I liked the fact that the movie also had no clear antagonist, which was pretty refreshing. Monsters University was pretty basic and predictable at times, but I certainly had a blast and that's more than enough of a reason to see these monsters once again. 8
