Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarer—and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike's plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, "Sulley" (voice of John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pair's out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University's elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right. “Monsters University” bravely explores themes of self-discovery and the revelations that come with growing up.
Joining Crystal and Goodman as part of “Monsters University’s” monstrously talented voice cast are Steve Buscemi (voice of Randy Boggs), Helen Mirren (voice of Dean Hardscrabble), Alfred Molina (voice of Professor Knight), Charlie Day (voice of Art), Sean P. Hayes (voice of Terri Perry), Dave Foley (voice of Terry Perry), Nathan Fillion (voice of Johnny Worthington) and Aubrey Plaza (voice of Claire Wheeler). Featuring a score from recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and award-winning composer Randy Newman ("Monsters, Inc.," "Toy Story 3"), MU also includes music from Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso of Swedish House Mafia.

I love this movie and can not stop recommending it to others. It was extremely a funny and entertaining movie. I loved getting back stories and learning more about Mike & Sulley. It not only takes our favorite characters from Monsters Inc., but incorporates some new characters and shares with the viewers so many valuable life lessons. This is a great family film!

We are first introduced to a young and adorable Mike. Poor Mike was made fun for being too small, never picked when pairing up and no one thought he would accomplish his dreams. Mike's story teaches kids not to let others dictate how they are going to live their lives and to keep going after their dreams. I will only highlight a couple more life lessons and these two were at the end of the film. The storyline focuses on a "Scare Competition" and we learn at the end, that Sulley cheated on the last obstacle. What I love is Sulley admitted what he did was wrong and went to make it right. It teaches kids to always tell the truth!The final lesson is during the credits and it made me tear up! Mike and Sulley are no longer at MU and still are focused on working at Monsters Inc. They show you that no job is beneath you and start at the bottom at the Monsters, Inc. mail room. Not only that, they keep on excelling and striving to do their best and keep getting promoted until they reach the Scarer level. I love that they went with such a realistic ending.
