A prequel to Monsters, Inc., the film grossed over $268 million in the US. In Monsters University, Mike and Sulley are shown to be best friends, having started off as rivals. The film was directed by Dan Scanlon and took the core elements of the previous release to narrate a story about teamwork and perseverance, yet maintaining humor and charm. More comedic than emotional, the college setting and bright colors made the film a crowd-pleaser for families and fans alike.
