Monsters University
Dir: Dan Scanlon
2013
**
I wasn't a huge fan of the original Monsters Inc, or any of the other new wave of Computer animated 3D type films of the late 90's. This was down to them all being preachy and telling the same story over and over again. It's like every American cartoon has to teach values on acceptance and individuality. It's tiresome, yeah it looks good and the people who made it are very clever etc but the story should be key. I'm a firm believer that cartoons of this ilk should just play for laughs and I really thought this one would, it's what the trailer suggested anyway. Overall I'm disappointed, it's better than the first but I certainly didn't love it.
