Mini Review #1
Monsters University Teaser
First off, let me say this- when I heard that this film was being made, the first thought that popped into my mind was “Do we seriously need another Monsters, Inc. film?”.
However, then I thought back to my trip to Disneyworld and the hilarious Monsters, Inc. comedy show they have there, and to the (rather vague, I’ll admit) memories I have of the film itself, and just the fact that this is Pixar we’re talking about. So I decided to give it a chance once I heard more information.
I saw the teaser right before Brave, and I was blown away. When the trailer opened, I thought it was so predictable; “Okay, so they’re telling us how the monsters do their job. Got that... except it’s gonna turn out that they do something else and we’ll get some boring sequel to the original film”.
Or... not....
I wish the sound of the glue being squirted and the laugh that followed could be on a forever repeating soundtrack of my life. Those two sounds right there made my day and the hallway scene that followed was comedy genius at work. The banter between Wazowski and Sullivan was perfect, and I can’t wait to see both of them working against each other and together in the film next year.
The animation and music were also beautiful- I enjoyed the subtle additions they had, like Sullivan high-fiving another monster as he walks into the scene, and the chips that are scattered everywhere when he later digs into the bowl. I don’t think I need to say anything about the music that plays when the lights are turned off- it just fit the scene perfectly.
In the end, I am super hyped for this film. Pixar has, with this teaser, turned a film I wasn’t going to pay attention to into a must-see film for next year.
Final Score: 4.5/5
If there are any film or video game (or other) trailers or teasers you'd like me to review, feel free to suggest in the comments! I'm hoping to do two or three of these a week, and the only rule is that whatever it's a teaser/trailer of can't have been released yet.
Expect my The Amazing Spider-Man review tomorrow.
