| The prequel that no one asked for, but everyone will watch.
Monsters University: the prequel that no one asked for, but everyone will watch. It would appear that Pixar has recently run out of original ideas and has resorted to making sequels and prequels of older more successful movies (Cars 2, Planes, Monsters U and Finding Dory). That being said, the film was actually pretty decent and was rather watchable and enjoyable. The film had multiple unexpected twists, which avoided having an all too predictable ending. It also explained many of the features of its sequel, like Randall's rivalry with Mike and Sully and the Abominable Snowman.

Reviving the voice talents of Billy Crystal, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi and adding Helen Mirren and Charlie Day, amongst others, this film stayed within the universe that the original movie had created, however in comparison failed to live up to its predecessor's greatness.

Trivia

Argma, Slugma, Oozma, Roar, Jaws, and Python's symbols resemble Lambda, Sigma, Omicron, Rho, Iota, and Pi, respectively.

Quotes

Squishy: Well now I guess it's my turn. My name's Scott Squibbles. My friends call me Squishy. I'm undeclared, unattached and... unwelcomed pretty much everywhere but here.

Goofs

In Monsters Inc., Mike tells Sulley "You've been jealous of my good looks since the fourth grade, pal." However, according to this movie, they did not meet or become friends until they went to college together. The producers have stated that Mike was merely using an expression.

Crazy Credits

A brief opening credits sequence is done in the same style as Monsters, Inc. (2001).

Alternate Versions

Also on Mike's calender, the English-speaking country versions says "Scare Finals". All other international versions use the same "happy face" from the cupcakes.
