Can't say it's bad, it's just too commonplace, like last year's Brave by Pixar.
I still remember the scene when I watched "Monster Company" back then. I was constantly laughing, constantly surprised, and constantly sighed, "It turns out that it can still be like this."
Now, all I can say is, "It really is."
Of course, as a prequel work, there are many settings we already know, such as the fur monster and the big-eyed monster will definitely become best friends, for example, the chameleon will definitely be on the same page as them, for example, the two protagonists will eventually successfully enter the power company . But the core of the problem is not here, but the whole story process is nothing new. An old-fashioned story can be beautiful when told well, but it is difficult to become a classic, not to mention that Pixar is not very good at telling it this time.
A few years ago, we would have been amazed by the setting of a world composed of monsters and frightening children to generate electricity, but now, we have been familiar with and approved such a setting, if we just introduced a few monsters we have not seen before, and Without substantial innovation, it will be difficult for the audience to buy it.
In fact, the "Toy Story" series of that year also faced the same problem. But "Toy Story 3" is very successful as the finale. The reason is that although the previous adventure part is not much new, the ending part has made a very touching sublimation, which has raised the entire series of stories to a new level. . And "Monsters University" obviously doesn't, it just stays on a typical theme where ordinary people's efforts pay off. Inspirational and routine.
By the way, did the setting of Maoguai being tall, rich and handsome existed back then? Or a new setting in the new work? It's been too long to remember.
