THIS piece at DisneyBlog offers a thumbnail synopsis for MONSTERS UNIVERSITY, the long-awaited sequel to 2001's MONSTERS. INC.
Per DisneyBlog...
Billy Crystal and John Goodman reprise their roles as Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan. In the original they were an inseparable pair, but that wasn’t always the case. When these two mismatched monsters met at school they couldn’t stand each other. “Monsters University” unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends.
I could've sworn we'd heard a plot synopsis quite similar to this a while back, but maybe I'm delirious, confused, or both (as this is pretty much my normal state, it's difficult to tell). The site also has a look at a title treatment for the film - be sure to check it out.
MONSTERS, INC. was never one of my favorite Pixar films (along with CARS). This said, I saw MI at a particularly emotional and wrenching juncture in my life - so it's entirely possible I'm bringing too much "noise" to the film. Maybe I should try it again with a clearer head and fresh perspective...
