Monsters University

Mike & Sully are back!  Well actually, this is before they were actually friends, co-workers of Monsters, Inc., and before Mike was as short as he is now.  Ok, you get the point.  Anyway, Mike's dream is to become a "Master Scarer" and the only way he can do that is to attend Monsters University.  Not too much adult humor but I totally laughed out loud (literally, perhaps even louder than some of the kids that were in the theater), and once again, NO SONGS!!!!  (I'm starting to like cartoon movies more and more :-)

So, the movie goer in me noticed a whole lot of similarities between this movie and some "non cartoon" (real) movies:

1.  The dean of the Scare School looks like Professor McGonagall and acts like Professor Snape (both from Harry Potter movies)...I liked that character, lol.

2.  The letters that Mike and team received looked very much like Harry Potter's invitation to join Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry.

* Definitely a Harry Potter theme here, maybe its just me??*

3.  One of the professors was EXTREMELY similar to the Economics teachers from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (played by Ben Stein).

Anyway, I liked the cartoon, thought it was cute.  And I can NOT WAIT for "Smurfs 2" and "Despicable Me 2!!!" :-)

Rating:  3.5/5 stars

P.S.  There's a little something special for you "Cheers" tv show fans.  Loved it!!
