Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarer — and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University. But during his first semester at MU, Mike’s plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, ‘Sulley’ (voice of John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pair’s out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University’s elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.

Screaming with laughter and oozing with heart, Disney/Pixar’s Monsters University is directed by Dan Scanlon, produced by Kori Rae and features music from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and award-winning composer Randy Newman. The film also stars the vocal talents of Steve Buscemi, Helen Mirren, Alfred Molina, Dave Foley, Sean P. Hayes, Joel Murray, Peter Sohn, Charlie Day, Nathan Fillion, Bobby Moynihan, Julia Sweeney, Aubrey Plaza, Tyler Labine, John Krasinski, Bonnie Hunt, Beth Behrs and John Ratzenberger and opens in U.S. theaters on June 21, 2013, and will be shown in 3D in select theaters.

UPDATE: In addition, we have learned that ‘Roar’ will be digitally released on its own on June 4, accompanied by remixes by MC Yogi and Style of Eye.

This latest trailer for Monsters University also features ‘Roar’ by Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso

UPDATE: Also featured in the film is the music of Mastodon, used to ‘serenade one the film’s new monsters.’

‘We wanted to capture the college feel in Monsters University, said Scanlon, ‘and music is a big part of that. The score and the inclusion of other great musicians like Axwell & Sebastian Ingrosso [of Swedish House Mafia] and Mastodon help us convey a fun, freewheeling college atmosphere.’

Walt Disney Studios and Pixar Animation Studios have provided us some official ‘fun facts’ for its upcoming animated release, Monsters University. In addition, we have also received several new hi-res stills and recently released concept art for the Monsters Inc. prequel, which we have added to our galleries below.

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY FUN FACTS

  • Don Carlton’s business card lists his address as 1200 Dark Ave. Pixar’s Emeryville address is 1200 Park Ave.

‘Monsters University’ Grumblr Viral Site Goes Live

Instagram Entry on the MU Grumblr

As we first reported on Twitter back in January, the marketing machine for Disney/Pixar’s Monsters University continues to go viral while keeping it organic to the film’s content. This time around, it’s a Tumblr account known as MUGrumblr.

The Grumblr account purports to be maintained by a ‘Monstropolis transplant’ and ‘self-diagnosed coffee addict’ who is currently a sophomore at the prestigious University and is filled with all sorts of memes, animated GIFs, faux-Instagram photos and other updates on school activities and sports.

You can check it all out for yourself and follow along at mugrumblr.tumblr.com.

‘Monsters University’ New Viral Ads Promote Campus Life, Share New Footage

'Monsters University' Character PosterA couple of new viral ads have been released in support of Pixar Animation Studios’ Monsters University, in theaters on June 18. One of the ads in particular comes very close to sharing some of the new footage previously shown in the Japan trailer, which includes visits to the Monsters. Inc Scare Floor. Mostly, however, the ads promote campus life with the school of scaring in particular.

Welcome to Monsters University:

‘Monsters University’ Japanese Trailer Shows Young Mike Wazowski, Plot Points

MIKE.  ©2012 Disney/Pixar. All Rights Reserved

It’s in Japanese (naturally), but this version of the trailer for Disney/Pixar’s upcoming film Monsters University gives a whole new dimension to the story we’ve come to know so far. In it, we see a very young Mike Wazowski in an apparent field trip to the Scare Floor at Monsters Inc. in which young Mike receives a gift that starts to shape his entire future.

There are also additional scenes which Mike appears to meet Sulley for the first time, as well as the scene in which Dean Hardscrabble (voiced by Helen Mirren) appears to be kicking the future pals out of the esteemed Scarer program.

‘Monsters University’ Poster Full of Character, Intrigue

'Monsters University' Character PosterA new international poster for Disney/Pixar’s Monsters University has been released and it’s chock full of characters from the film along with several confirmations (such as Randy Boggs (aka Randall) being affiliated with the Roar Omega Roar (ROR) fraternity as well as George Sanderson being in Jaws Theta Chi (JOX)), but what’s perhaps most telling is that none of the Omega Kappa (OK) students are in their respective uniforms. Instead, Mike, Sulley, Don, Squishy, Terri & Terry and Art all simply appear in clothing reading Monsters University. This and the fact that Omega Kappa’s fraternity house is actually in the basement of Squishy’s Mom’s house starts to make one wonder just how official OK starts out.

‘Monsters University’ Director Hints at Boo Tribute, Talks Prequel Timeline

'Monsters University' Teaser PosterEarlier this month, we had the opportunity to sit down with Monsters University director Dan Scanlon and producer Kori Rae, along with John Goodman, for a few minutes as part of a roundtable at the Disney/Pixar presentation at the 110th American International Toy Fair in New York City.

Following up on a tip I had received the day before, I took the opportunity to explore what overlap — if any — we might see between Monsters University and the original Monsters Inc. film. Unfortunately Scanlon nearly skirted the question altogether: ‘Well I don’t want to say that, I think you should wait and see. I will say that it’s teeing up to the original film nicely.’

Almost as cryptic was Scanlon’s and Rae’s response to my question about a tribute to Boo in the upcoming prequel. Although I realized it would be impossible for Boo to directly appear in the film and I personally felt it would be impractical for her to appear in any direct form, I imagined with Pixar’s knack for inside jokes and tributes, it wouldn’t be far off to anticipate getting Mary Gibbs (who voiced Boo as a toddler) to return to the recording studio. So can we expect the voice of Boo to return to the big screen in some form? ‘I can’t say anything about that, but,’ Scanlon replied before producer Rae interjected with ‘but there’s a bunch of new characters that we’re really excited about.’ Scanlon followed up with ‘there’s a lot of new characters. There’s lots of fun cameos here and there, so… yeah, keep an eye out.’

And new characters there are plenty. While we’ve been introduced to fellow Oozma Kappa students Don Carlton, Art, Terri & Terry Perry and Scott ‘Squishy’ Squibbles, there are plenty more characters to be formally introduced, especially sisters of the Slugma Slugma Kappa (EEK) and Eta Hiss Hiss (HSS) sororities. In addition to Carrie, we can probably look forward to getting to knowing fellow students Nadya, Sonia, Rosie, Violet. Carla, Brynn, Rhonda and more.

And just in case you missed it, be sure to check out our additional coverage of the Monsters University Toy Fair event including an exclusive in-depth look at upcoming toys for this spring and fall.
