Although my initial judgement was that this latest Pixar offering looked more geared towards children than adults, it’s been getting some pretty good buzz so I’m still holding out hope that Monsters University is actually half way decent if not pretty good.
Directed by Dan Scanlon, who will make his Pixar debut with Monsters U, this prequel brings us back to the college days of Mike and Sully as they learn the ropes of scare tactics with both Billy Crystal and John Goodman back behind the voices.
I’ll be seeing Monsters University at SIFF in a little more than a week so here’s hoping that it doesn’t disappoint. Check out the final trailer right here.
