Plot
A look at the relationship between Mike and Sulley during their days at Monsters University — when they weren't necessarily the best of friends.
Sinekatalog’s take
A prequel set on campus, following two mismatched students in a competitive setting. It is likeable and amusing, with fun fraternity-style gags, but plays safer than the original. A pleasant, undemanding trip back to a beloved world.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
