Monsters University
Scare school film
Monsters University is a 2013 Pixar animated film and prequel to Monsters, Inc., following the college years of Mike Wazowski and James P.
Sullivan as they navigate fraternity life and a prestigious scaring program.
The title functions both as the movie's name and as the fictional institution within it, a university that trains monsters in the art of scaring children.
We watched Monsters University on family movie night.
