Family Entertainment: Monsters University

The 2013 summer movie season is just around the corner and there are 5 good looking films that fall into the family entertainment category. This summer’s Disney-Pixar film is Monsters University the pre-quel to the 2001 hit Monsters Inc. I cannot wait to go to the theater on June 21st and see my old friends Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan enjoying college life at MU.

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.

Screaming with laughter and oozing with heart, Disney•Pixar’s “Monsters University” is directed by Dan Scanlon (“Cars,” “Mater and the Ghostlight,” “Tracy”), produced by Kori Rae (“Up,” “The Incredibles,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and features music from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and award-winning composer Randy Newman (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Toy Story 3”). The film opens in U.S. theaters on June 21, 2013, and will be shown in 3D in select theaters.

Enjoy the newest trailer for Monsters University and then go to the MU website and scroll to the bottom of the page to take the MAT and see if you have what it takes to enroll in MU. I scored a 987 so I should have no problem getting in! After you take the test come back and leave me a comment and tell me your MAT score.
