The Monsters, Inc. sequel will actually be a prequel called “Monsters University”
There’s been talk of a sequel to Monsters, Inc. ever since the film first debuted in 2001, but for one reason or another it kept getting pushed back. Pixar announced yesterday that it is finally working on a sequel, that will actually be more of a prequel titled Monsters University that will follow Mike and Sully as they get their degrees in monsterology or whatever.
“The film is a prequel that tells you a little bit about how [Mike and Sully] first met, attending Monsters University,” Hollis told theater owners gathered in Las Vegas on Tuesday for their annual CinemaCon convention. “Obviously everybody knows at this point Mike and Sully are amazing friends — the best of friends — but as it turns out, in this story, that wasn’t always the case. From the moment they met at university, they could not stand each other. This story takes you through the ups and downs, and how they overcame their own differences.”
The moral of the story? Work hard, stay in school, and you too will one day get a good job scaring children in their dreams.
