One of Pixar's most beloved films gets a prequel in "Monsters University", a follow-up to the hit 2001 film "Monsters, Inc." While not quite as fresh as its predecessor, Mike and Sully's new adventure is still wildly creative despite its pretty cliche and formulaic story structure. The Pixar charm is here in spades and there are plenty of laughs to be had by all. The new supporting cast of misfits in Mike and Sully's oddball fraternity really steal the show and provide most of the humor. The film's message about hard work and not taking short cuts in life is as refreshing as it is profound. It may not break a whole lot of new ground, but "Monsters University" is definitely worthy of the Pixar brand.
