Brand New Extended 'Monsters University' Trailer

Posted byBy Kim Burnell | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The newest trailer for Monsters University sheds some light on the plot, while revealing some quirky new characters.

Monsters University is a prequel for the original Monsters Inc. From Monsters Inc, we learned that  Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) had dreams of being a Scarer ever since he was just a little monster. MU rewinds to when Mike and James P. Sullivan aka “Sulley” (John Goodman) first meet as freshman year roommates, both enrolled in the elite Monsters University scaring program. From the new trailer, we can gather that Mike and Sulley’s friendship is more of a rivalry at first. Mike and Sulley’s competitive antics cause them to get kicked out of the Scaring program.

Determined to get back in the program and fulfill their dreams, Mike and Sulley are forced to join an underdog fraternity. With their fellow members of Oozma Kappa they must enter the “Scare Games,” a dangerous and terrifying competition for monsters to prove if they have what it takes to be a professional Scarer. If Mike loses the competition he will be expelled Monsters University, as will his dreams of ever becoming a Scarer.

Along the way Mike and Sulley become the best of friends and we meet some new characters, like a funky philosophical frat brother Art (Charlie Day) and the seriously sinister Dean Hardscrabble (Helen Mirren).

Enjoy this new, extended trailer, and get ready for some serious scaring (and laughing) when Monsters University hits theaters June 23.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
