As a prequel to "Monsters Company", "Monsters University" started with the protagonist Mike Beast’s experience of a spring outing in elementary school, telling the story of this short-born and discriminated one-eyed monster, how to aspire Admitted to the ideal university, and met Sullivan, the rich and handsome big hairy monster during the university. After a series of twists and turns, he finally became a good friend and realized his dream.
In addition, as a qualified prequel, the film explains in one detail the reason why the villain, the invisible lizard monster Boggs, in "Monsters Company", became feud with Sullivan and became an old enemy.
The plot is slightly old-fashioned, and its essence is just a youthful campus inspirational film, but high-quality animation and unlimited creativity are destined to make this film a must-see animation in the summer! Pixar, the funny classmate Mike, the cute big monster, and the new members of all kinds of monsters-Pixar's amazing genes in building a world view, as well as unusual imagination, are fully displayed in the movie.
This film shows the audience a more vivid and comprehensive "monster world". In the film, we learn that the monster world is actually very similar to the real human world (to be precise, the American world). Monsters have to go through the process of elementary school, middle school, university, and employment. For the audience, the strong campus cultural setting will have a strong sense of substitution.
The movie's description of Monster University is like Hogwarts in "Harry Potter". The audience can experience this famous university in Monster World with Mike. For students who have studied abroad in the United States, the scenes reported by Mike in the film should not be unfamiliar-from enrollment registration, student tour guides walking around the campus, to allocating student dormitories, they are all copied from reality. The campus scenes exhibited since then can also be seen everywhere in American universities: those playing guitar in a circle on the grass, reading books in the library, playing sports on the playground, and arriving late. In addition, the division of departments is similar to that of American universities, but with the characteristics of the monster world, such as the scare department, teaching students how to systematically and accurately find the things that human children are afraid of and imitate them, so that the children's fear provides the greatest energy. In addition, there are energy bottle design department, space-time gate design department and so on. It is also mentioned in popular rival films among American universities. For example, Sullivan and Mike got acquainted because Sullivan stole the piggy, the mascot of his rival "Monster Polytechnic University". Similarly, Monster University also has a wealth of community organizations: the Astronomical Society, the Philosophy Society, the Impromptu Club, the Art Club, and the Greek Society unique to American universities. Judging from the screen, this film seems to refer to the design drawings of many universities, and the presentation effect is amazing.
In terms of entertainment, Pixar will never let you down. The movie's main event, the scare contest, uses the elimination rounds. Each level tests different abilities, and the last player in each level will be eliminated. This "game" mode often appears in youth inspirational adventure films, which is full of fun and entertaining, and has been tried and tested by young audiences. Movies such as "Crazy Dodgeball" and "Harry Potter 4" also have similar patterns.
Aside from animation and monster coats, the film mainly discusses the question, can congenital defects be made up for through acquired efforts? As a film for all ages, this film made a very straightforward character setting and gave the film creator's answer to this question. "A monster with a short stature and a cute appearance, but with extraordinary intelligence, through hard work and study, eventually could not become a screaming monster, but after being inspired by friends, he found that his talent (intelligence) can be used. Come to be a scared coach." When Mike found that all his efforts were in vain, he hid in the character world desperately, while his friend Sullivan bravely appeared and escaped with him from the danger. On the one hand, the plot of Liu Yinhuaming highlighted. The power of hope, on the other hand, also shows the power of friendship. More importantly, let the children walk out of the cinema happily.
The story did not convey too esoteric thoughts, but it was enough to make the adult audience in the theater hesitate to think, and it also gave the children in the audience a certain inspiration in their life ambitions.
