I was originally gonna make a video on Monsters INC, but I also decided to rewatch University first and realized I had to make a video on this criminally underrated masterpiece.

@@lukefitton7329 I don’t think it’s that inconsistent since Randall becomes more of a bully and a sneak as he gets older, and I think it’s kind of fitting that as Mike and Sully age that Mike would let more of his guard down while Sully would gain more self respect. In other words, I think Mike is less “fearless” in Monsters Inc. because he no longer feels the need to prove himself, and Sully has been hyped up by Mike for so long by then. That’s just what makes sense to me, though.

@@therealCrazyJake I understand why Randall becomes the person he does since he’s in Sulley’s shadow all the time.

Maybe he lets his success get to his head a little bit.

@matti.8465 Год назад

The ending retroactively makes Mike's character in the first Monsters Inc more likeable. Of course Mike is so hesitant to help with Boo, he worked so hard to get there and now Sully is risking it all for some human child. And the ending with Mike becoming the laugh equivalent of a scarer is even more satisfying.

So I’m going into college with a major in elementary education to become an elementary teacher. There are a million options of a career that is similar to the one you want. Such as a surgeon for example, there are other medical careers that someone could go into such as a pharmacist or a dermatologist.

@@brittoncain5090 I mean the thing is though a lot of people give up when they didnt really have to. The issue can be about if you want to take a longer path towards getting to your real goal when you were expecting a shorter path. People often give up because it isnt the shorter path. To some level a truth of life people miss is that they can readapt their goals and aspects of them to actually ensure parts of their dreams are fufilled still. It means changing a lot and dealing with different difficulties but people much more often assume they have to give up than they actually do have to give up. Readaption of course requires giving up some thing in return too but it can be a different process and a different understanding than just giving up fully on the dream and it seems like a lot of american culture wants to try to push back on helping fufill issues and understanding how to readapt as well as help support to combat other messages releated to dreams

I like the more grounded message that some people just aren't cut out for certain jobs, and that it's not the end of the world that you don't get that dream job, because you're skills may lean elsewhere.

Case in point, when he encourages Randy to use his camouflaging ability for his technique.

Best quote is said by Mike as he's self reflecting on his situation: "I did everything right." You get good grades like they say, go to college like they say, and fully dedicate yourself to your future career, working yourself to the bone. Your work becomes your identity. When failure hits, when you realize you have to chose another option, the crash that you feel is so hard to explain. I love this movie because it happened to me.

@DaNintendude Год назад

Last time I watched this film I had a realization that blew my mind. Mike was responsible for coaching being added to the scare program. We see in the original film how important scare coaches are. But in the prequel, there is no emphasis placed upon them. The scarers go in on their own. We see some coaches in the field trip, but if you don't pay attention you won't even notice them. There is no coaching program at the University. And Hardscrabble mentions at the end of the film how there may be potential changes to the scaring program or something like that (I don't remember exactly. it's been awhile). So the implication is that coaching was added to the scare program. I think it's crazy that I never realized this before, because I'm sure it was so obvious to other people. But it was so cool to realize. Mike's ability to help cause the biggest scare was inspiring and made Hardscrabble realize that everyone has potential to be a scarer, even if they aren't scary. Please anyone let me know if I am wrong about this. I actually thought that MIke was the first scare coach, PERIOD. But when writing this comment I looked back at some scenes and saw the coaches in the field trip scene. But I definitely think he's responsible for coaches being involved in the scare program. Unless there's some mention of being a coach at the university that I didn't pick up on.

I think it's similar to Music Degrees such as Music Education vs Music Performance degrees. Mike could very well go into the scare program learning how to teach others to scare proper, which is similar to Music Education. And Sully being the one to scare is similar to someone that gets a degree to a specific thing.

I think it's less that they didn't realize it but rather were so used to scaring kids that they never thought about anything else. Besides, it's really just a different emotion and stimulus that separates laughter from screams, isn't it?

@@realdragon There's a small part of the movie where Mike tries to scare the kids in the real world, but they just kind of laugh instead. The point is Mike failed at being scary, but they make sure to cut to the door gaining some level of power as a result of this for a split second.

You're only human, born with what you have. You may not get exactly where you want to go due to many factors, but there are so many options now. Don't stop looking.

I LOVE the scene where Mike and Sulley just talk at the lakeside. No BS'ing, no pretense, just letting down their defenses and being empathetic. The sort of thing that would make you believe that they became best friends for life. "Why didn't you tell me this BEFORE?" "...Because we weren't friends before."

@BlackCatPrincess914 Год назад

I decided on a whim a couple years ago to rewatch Monster’s University and it hit SO MUCH harder as a college student. Because I related to Mike soooo much! I had always wanted to be a scientist and that was my whole personality, it’s what my family expected of me, I was known for being “that girl that loves science” “that girl who is so smart” “that girl who is so good at school”. Then I went to college, and everything kind of shattered. I was no longer the best in my classes, I was struggling, my life felt like it was crashing around me. Because if I wasn’t all those things then who was I? I ended up switching to Accounting and I’m a lot better suited for it, but it was hard because almost no one in my life supported my choice to change majors because that isn’t who people saw me as. And it was in the switching majors part of my life when I choose to rewatch this movie. It really impacted me and comforted me in a weird way, because I felt less alone and it helped me feel like I was less of a failure. So this movie is really special to me now after having been through all of that 🥰❤️

I relate to Mike on a personal level, which is why on recent rewatches this movie def has a place in my heart. I've always wanted to do animation as a career but due to my grades not being high enough despite them being relatively honor role grades I wasn't let into the program. This destroyed my entire life at the time because I thought I had nothing else and believed that I was going to end up a failure in life but eventually I found another passion- writing. I now am studying English as my major and now am much happier. I am still studying art on the side, but I'm not making it as my main focus. The movie's message that there is always another route towards success really resonated with me because it's an experience I personally found myself relating to as well. Great video!

Randall wore glasses and, when he took them off, he’s seen squinting throughout the rest of his appearances in the movie.

Monsters University makes complete sense as a companion piece to Inc. Mike as a young adult studies hard to be a scarer, up there with legends. It's what his whole life has lead to. He doesn't quite get there due to his limitations, but still makes it onto the scare floor as the brains behind the brawn. Eventually, scare power is made outdated, and he taps into his other strength as an entertainer, making strides in an alternative to scare energy. An extension of Pixar's commentary on the ever-changing, career-shaking working world.

Oh, I need to mention a correction at 14:27- the kids DONT laugh at him. They kind of don’t know what to really MAKE of him, but they don’t laugh. I mention this correction cause laughter being more powerful then screams is an important factor at the end of the original Monsters Inc, so if Mike got laughed at, this would have been discovered far before it’s time. It’s kind of genius that in MU, the kids reaction to Mike is… NO reaction. Mikes problem at that point is finding himself in a cabin filled with curious not-frightened children who are just looking at him like “what are you?” Also, I think at that point, Mikes got a lot MORE reasons to not go back: 1) like you said, he'll have to admit that he's not scary 2) the one girl blocks the closet door, and 3) He just did something that even IF by some bending of the rule, it isn't considered HIGHLY illegal would ABSOLUTELY be a shame that would follow him, and his family for the rest of time that would get him hated by pretty much everyone he met. In a way, he's banishing HIMSELF there, cause he knows that after doing this one extremely unorthodox hail mary he can't go back anyway.

Entertainment is my passion. I wanted to be an animator because I loved cartoons so much. I even took courses in college to learn. I was inspired by my childhood cartoons. Learning of the stories of those animators coming from big studios and making their own shows was inspiring for me. I wanted to start my own studio and treat my employees with the utmost respect because I would be very grateful to have them and give all their hard work. I sadly struggled with trying to animate and draw. My parents were telling me the reality too of where I'm going to find the job for it, how long it will take to get to industry standards, and all that. It was hard, but I quit animation. But there was something I realized I could still do with passion for entertainment. I now want to be a voice actor for cartoons. Someone said I had a voice like a cartoon, and it was really inspiring. I'm happy doing it too. I hope to voice act in some big cartoons. I also want to start a studio to distribute and produce movies like Disney, Warner Bros, Universal, Paramount, etc. That way, I can still fund ideas for movies, shows, games, animations, etc. To anyone reading this, I hope you find your passion one day that you are sure you can achieve, and if you fail, that's OK cause there's always more options out there. Good luck to everyone out there. :)

WOW, are you me? I also went to college for animation, basically forced my parents to allow me to take it. The slow realization that it was not for me was terrifying and I had a hard time really accepting that fact. I still graduated with a degree in 3d animation, though. My first job ended up being in graphic design, a good job, but still not the one I wanted, and I was convinced it was only a stepping stone. But if I'm being honest, even back then I knew I couldn't work in animation, especially in 3d. I am now in multimedia design with a strong focus on motion design, so I guess I still sort of ended up in animation! Just not the one I expected when I was younger. I'm enjoying it, though! This actually sort of feels like something I should be doing. Good luck with voice acting! I'm rooting for you!

As an Aspie, I couldn't help but see Mike's story as an allegory for disability. The first time I watched this movie, it really made me cry. I could relate to Mike, because there are social things and certain types of jobs that I know that I can never do as well as my Neurotypical peers. There are many ways that I know that I can never measure up to my peers no matter how hard I work at it just because of my different neurology and sensory issues. I have had to learn to value my more niche skills that I am good at like art (I do sketching and painting) and academics (I am really booksmart and have a good memory) rather than try to be as socially successful or popular as my Neurotypical peers. Sometimes you just have to acknowledge your limitations in life and that your reality or skillsets may not be what you imagined them to be, and I love how this movie has that message.

@jorgecastillo2391 Год назад

Don’t think this MU was the best Pixar film but the message that hard work doesn’t guarantee anything is probably one of the most profound lessons a kid could ever learn. It is important that they learn the world isn’t fair, nothing is guaranteed even if you work harder than every one else, and other people can still have an advantage just by being born to the right people. On the other side, just cause you’re born into a certain lifestyle with wealth and prestige, doesn’t make you inherently successful either. Both very important since every kid can identify with that since the movie covers both extreme sides of the spectrum. Mike working his butt off to no avail and sully being born prestigious and talented and still failing for letting that carry him.

Might be a controversial take but because MU is so good, it makes me appreciate the ending of Monsters Inc a lot less… The story with Boo was beautifully crafted, don’t get me wrong, but watching Mike and Sully bond to become the perfect scaring team worked so well that it makes me oddly upset when Sully throws it all away in Monsters Inc. It also feels a bit pointless when you watch the Oozma Kappas succeed - utilizing their differences to win during the final challenge…only to realize that their scaring talents will be null and void in several years. I’ve never been a big fan of the whole “laughter” plot, but I realize it was necessary for Sully and Boo’s dynamic to have a happy ending. To me though, it felt pointless because scaring the kids was never out of malice until Waternoose came along…it was simply a way of life for the monsters. Idk maybe that’s a bad take, I just feel really conflicted about it. I love both films equally but I feel like MI’s ending constricts everything about MU

@Buglin_Burger7878 Год назад

I think you have it reversed, everything about MU contradicts MI's ending. That is why as good as the writing in MU is... when you throw in it was made after MI it becomes bad. Even something as small as Randall hating the duo becomes more justified due to how they ended up creating situations that hurt him. Depending on how you look at the two main character's growth... it can appear very differently like manipulators. Praising and supporting those who help them but those who don't they hurt are fine. It makes them look like horrible people. It even makes Randall look even more right when you consider had the duo not figured out laughing worked... then society may have collapsed due to a power shortage. They were right through dumb luck. Had the conflict not happened the idea of using laughter would not work.

Any form of education, whether it be for something that might one day soon become obsolete, is in no way a waste of time. The early years in a person’s life develops them into a functioning adult, and the relationships and life skills you learn are really what’s important about secondary education rather than the contents of the lessons.

I think a better analogue for the end of the video would be a sports star. You can train at, for example, basketball all of your life, learn everything there is to know, practice every single day, but if you are too short, you will never make it to a professional level. But a person like that could still become an excellent sports commentator, teacher, coach, or even a basketball manufacturer because they will know so much. Same goes for nearly every sport, there's a specific body type, and if you aren't born with it, you're unlikely to make it no matter how hard you try.

Maybe because it's compared to the original Monsters Inc. (which is a masterpiece in its own right) that makes it look less impressive, but this is my personal favorite Pixar movie

This movie also has the a really important image imo, that you can do everything right and sometimes, you can still fail. Mike worked harder than anyone, studied hardest, wanted it the most, but at the end of the day, he just wasn't meant to be a scarer. It's important because often it can get hard to keep going when everything you ever wanted is just.....out of reach or unattainable.

This movie actually has a special place in my heart because I’d watch it on repeat after I got a tonsillectomy when I was 9.

I loved Monster Inc as a child and this movie made me ball as they expanded on the world the monsters live in. The soundtrack, the animation, and how Sully and Mike became close friends and colleagues in the first film. I loved everything about this movie as it also gave my why Randal hated Sully.

At least OK's not going to give you up, let you down, run around, desert you or make you cry for that matter

ive always deeply appreciated this movie for its disability narrative (that's the way ive personally always read its message), but even more so for the way it treats the disability angle. mike doesn't just suddenly accomplish his dreams because he "believed in himself" or him not being scary suddenly makes him Better than everyone else. in the end he does not achieve his dream, and in spite of that he still finds happiness. its a really nice message that i really appreciate, since most movies that go for the disability metaphor often times have a sorta messed up message ("you can do anything u want if u work hard enough and change!")

This story gives out a powerful message that you can want something with your entire soul and do all of the work, and still it’ll never happen. This definitely made me emotional 😢

This movie just made me love Mike as a character more. He isn’t just a dude relying on his best friend. He’s a hard worker thats scared to help a human because he could lose the thing he busted his ass for.

it hurts to want something so bad only for it to be unattainable it’s a sad truth that we have to live with

Something I enjoy is how "cute" the teams designs are. They're still monsters, just not scary. But their scare tactics were so creative and actually scarier than the other monsters.

Looking at this again, I realize something that probably needed to be said: Before Sully tampers with the scare dummy, what REALLY gives him that thought that he HAS to do it is what the dean says: and the dean doesn't even SAY that Mike isn't scary: She asks SULLY if HE thinks Mike is scary. Thats when Sully starts trying to justify Mikes importance to the team: he got everyone to work together, he's the heart of the team, he's pulled miracle victories out of NOWHERE all this time. But the dean keeps asking him "Do you think he's SCARY?" Honestly, that part makes me tear up. I love Dean Hardscrabble. Shes both an imposing figure AND someone who you HAVE to give respect to. Even when Mike and Sully are trapped in the human world and she's got the door on lockdown- she's just trying to prevent any possible BIGGER problems that would come about from having anyone try to be a hero and get Mike out until the authorities can arrive. Also, I notice that the ONLY time Mike actually UTILIZES his biggest personal issue: the fact that he goes unnoticed, even getting covered up in photos of him is when he breaks ranks to enter the door as a kid, when hes trying to prove himself by commandeering the door, and when he's trying to set the aura of fear so Sully can scare the rangers. Every other time in the series, it just seems to happen just cause its a thing that happens- Mikes used to it.

Si eso se compensa con el típico chiste de taparle el rostro a mike cuando aparece en fotos

Extremely underrated. And brilliant for them to mold this around the audience that grew up watching the original movie.

Right and I would have never guessed their back story but it's so well done.

I'm so glad someone else likes this movie I mean a lot of people do but it deserves way more praise

I absolutely love how at first Mike wasn't scary and that people telling him he's not gonna be great, but ends up being the very first comedian, Monsters Inc. CEO, and now lots of people are looking up to him to learn jokes (Because laughter is powerful than fear)
