This year’s Holiday Gift is covering gifts for EVERYONE in the family. And this is one that really is for everyone. Disney PIXAR’s Monsters University is a blast for everyone.
Both of my kids loved this when they saw it in the theater (TWICE by the way!) and it kept them enthralled again at home when we got the BluRay/DVD combo pack.
Mike Wazowski follows his dream of being a scarer whole-heartedly through this film. You get to see him as a wee little monster where he first sets his eye on becoming a scarer. Fast forward to his arrival at Monsters University he is actually first dormed up with Randall!!
Unlike Monsters Inc. Mike and Sully are not the best of pals from the get-go here. Sully comes from a long line of successful scarers and is the “brawn” with no brain in class. Mike, meanwhile is as dedicated as could be to learning everything by the book. Their head to head stubborness ends up getting them BOTH kicked out of Scaring class though!
Helen Mirren plays Dean Hardscrabble — a scary looking dragon-like monster who holds an all time scaring record. She personally kicks Sully and Mike out of Scaring class. Lucky for them, there is a scaring contest that could just get them back in.
Sully and Mike will have to work together to make it happen and you get to go through the ups and downs of both of them overcoming their stubborness and lack of humility.
Plus, you get to meet this goofy bunch of monsters from Oozma Kappa!
This would absolutely be on the top of my “gift list” for anyone with kids!
