After growing up, the big-eyed boy entered the monster university, through thick books, careful planning, A+ scores, OK club success and frightened adults step by step to overcome inferiority and realize his scared dream. . The elongated figure mirrored by the trophy in the "Scare Hall of Fame" also made this cute monster look so tall and terrifying. Mike finally found his place in the coveted Monster Company. He has crossed many important doors for this, but there is one door he has never crossed, the door in his heart.
This film is a prequel to "Monsters Electric Company", so the ironic "pre-spoiler" turned Mike's hard work into a big laugh! Imagine if Mike, the "Mengbao" Mike, who frightened the world through all kinds of hardships and won recognition, learned that the world had changed from using "scare" to "laughter" to obtain energy 12 years ago, would it be possible? Even suicidal?
Hidden behind the laughter brought by the shock to the audience, it is Mike who changes his attributes for the world and destroys his original self in order to survive. Not scary, he found his home on the "Road of Fright" but failed to find his true self. The more successful he is, it means that he is going further and further down the road of self-evasion. The door in his heart has never been opened, or even approached. "Monsters University" does not have the self-confidence of "one person conquering the world" that American animation has always conveyed, but instead has a pessimistic concept of compromise with the world. There are still creative rules of the game in the film, but there is no Pixar’s usual “anti-system” line of character growth; there are personalized expressions emphasizing "I will not frighten but will create fright", but there is no "I don't need it" in the previous film. Frighten me with the height of the anti-rule of laughter. In fact, if the big-eyed boy stepped across this door, it was better to tear down this door; to step across that line, it was better to wipe off that line. To adapt to the world, it is better to change the world to adapt to yourself.
But Mike's active and courageous spirit of hard work is like a terrible value that unscrupulously tries to climb to the top of the pyramid or even abandons himself. Therefore, this film is not suitable for children. In addition to the strange monster shapes and university rules, it is more important that it implied the social concept of adults in the colorful and gorgeous pictures and spectacles. ". Adult values are not what mainstream animation should be involved in. Animation will always contain the energy and touch of childlike innocence and innocence. This most original thing is just the most moving, and it also calls for the loss of adults for a long time. The heart of the innocent child. And that childlike innocence disappeared in "Monster University". It is also the work of Pixar. The innocent and persistent emotional exchange between Wali and Eva in "Walli Robot" is the only shining point between the dirty earth and the cold interstellar. It is this beautiful power that ultimately drives humanity. Returning to the earth to build his homeland; in "The Flying House", for the agreement with his wife and for the original dream, the old man Carl rides the Flying House and finally descends to the waterfall wonderland, realizing the magnificent adventure and the wonderland of life. In fact, the best, the most beautiful, and the most powerful is not the original self?
The big-eyed boy will cross more gates, but he will never cross the "gates" in his heart. This is also the door in front of Pixar!
