Why did nobody like this?

Had a huge following on Sup Forums. Probably still does. I liked it.

People thought of it as nothing more then a generic college film, which to a small extent it is, but I thought the final thirty minutes and the more dark/mature message of the film made it significantly stand out.

it was pretty good

what even was the message of the film? College blows?

I did.

No matter how hard you try there are certain careers or things in life you just can't fucking do because of your own abilities. Doesn't mean you aren't going to be great at something else.

Is this the most unnecessary prequel of all time?

Little Mermaid Prequel

I do find it disturbing that the message of the film basically tells kids that despite how hard you try, you may never achieve your dreams

There are more important things, like a big buff horny boy friend.

I liked the message of this film. Sometimes you're going to fail at life and you need to learn to deal with it. Not many kids movies tell you that so blatantly.

Because Doug Walker is a dumbass with tastes shitter than Egoraptor.

Still mad at his Old vs New Spiderman

I did it's really good. The Lake scene is one of Pixar's best, and it's a genuinely challenging movie with a complicated, difficult moral.

Pokemon exist.

Holy shit what?

Did you noticed that everyone liked that shitty movier, fantastic beasts? the reason is that while the harry potter movies were popular they got extremely lazy, no sense of wonder of world exploration, 7 movies on the same fucking castle. And the rest is just forests of london, people liked the idea of other wizard worlds, and weird creatures, it's all about the sense of wonder (TLJ and TFA fail in the same way, no new worlds that look different).

Monster inc has a whole world out there, you had the doors, there's no limits to where they can go and how to explore the monster world...

And you spend 90% of the movie in a college.
it's that simple m8, when people like something they want to know more.

It was fucking awful, that's what

Nothing special. I have not seen it since the time I saw it in theaters.

I saw it on a flight it was okay desu.

What said. If the Pokemon anime has any moral lesson at the end, it's that you should keep trying and never give up on your dreams, even when you probably should. And now its protagonist has spent 21 years in an endless cycle of losing and not making any progress. And because he can't move on, the other main characters can't, either.

At least this movie acknowledges that you have to realize your limitations and move on to discover your strengths. It's much healthier than repeating a cycle that dwelling on something you can never achieve.

This is the goal that I can never achieve. I've realized that and moved on.

Kids liked it, what else matters?

It is a hard, unpleasant lesson, but it is such an important one for real life. Not everyone can be in the major league. Dreams are not pieces of Perfection! where each piece has a specific mold.

...

I like that factor now, but it scared the SHIT out of me when it came out because it was my senior year of high school. This movie made me actually really think hard about my future, which was probably a good thing, but I came out of the theatre with anxiety and did not feel good at all.

it was fun to watch and pretty good. message of the film wasn't too bad either. solid 8/10

yes, but there is also a lesson in that while your talents may not fit into one category, there's no one route to success and you can still achieve your goals in alternative measures. Mike spent his whole life planning on going to MU and becoming a top scarer. Eventually, it was him dropping out and working as a team with Sully that helped him become one of the top scarers in Monstropolis (though it wasn't necessarily him as an individual).

Best girl

I liked it

It's hard but good lesson to teach.

I think part of why so many people are depressed as fuck in their adult years is because we grow up being told that we can do anything and to keep trying because hard work always pays off! Then we enter the real world and have no true understanding of failure or how to cope with it.

I liked it, it was okay... I thought it was better than Coco.

The best pixar movie since Toy Story 3. I know that isn't saying a whole lot, but I think it's way better than Inside Out.

>Movie stresses that you don't need a degree from the best school to do what you want
>All the Pixar animators went to Calarts or SCAD

It's a libertarian mental illness. They like the idea of a disadvantaged person pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, but strongly dislike anything that would allow people to do that and would never actually hire someone like that.

First nuPixar movie.
Funny how the original's ending goes against its lesson.

just finished rewatching the film. i just realize Monsters Incorporated is essentially a monopoly that's probably bought out every other utility company in their country. At the end of the film, you see all the Scarer cards listing companies like Fear Co and Scream Inc. By the end of Monsters Inc., it's the only remaining company in town and the sole provider of energy.

So, through the entirety of the time Mike and Sully have worked there, Monsters Inc has bought out and absorbed every company in town.

...

The fact that Ariel's mom was hot is absolutely essential information.

She was just an Ariel recolor, literally the laziest choice possible.

Greek Fraternity colleges just seem weird and stupid.

Also, every one of those monsters was studying for a job you KNEW would be completely obsolete by the end of the first movie.
The world pixar made for these movies doesn't work if you think about it too much, so expanding on that world with movies like this is self-destructive.

I know there are tons of current majors that have strong student populations that will either stop existing or experience massive layoffs in the next 15 years. That's just life man.

user, these films weren't mean for you to think on them too hard. It was just a way for John Lasseter to hit on women and score some free hugs

I'm not talking about life, I'm talking about a movie.

If you make a prequel, you have to deal with the fact that the audience will know a shit ton of information the characters in the movie don't know.
Especially when that information is "Everything you do at this school is a waste of time."

Which is probably why nobody like it.

...that last bit sounds pretty much just like real life man.

Prequels area a waste of time in most situations if you look at it that way. The end point is ALWAYS set. It's the journey though.

Why wouldn't they have a massive college program focused on scream energy? It makes sense in a scream based economy, and whatever WE as the audience know, logically why wouldn't they continue to focus on scream energy? Not like they knew what would happen.

I liked it. It's hardly a Pixar classic though.

Was Sully in the wrong to cheat for Mike?

There were aspects of the movie I really liked, but overall it felt extremely run-of-the-mill and unexciting. It just felt like the movie was going through the motions most of the time.

Mike achieved his dreams, just not the way he expected. He's a god tier trainer and has the knowledge and innovation to make Sully better, who had a lot of natural potential but none of the savvy.

It showed that limitations exist, and not everyone is going to be able to accomplish the things they want, but you CAN still succeed.

I do wonder if it would have been better recoeved it it was it's own thing rather than a prequel?

I liked it fine because i never saw those 80s college movies since that kind of culture doesn't exist where i live.

>And you spend 90% of the movie in a college.

To add, 90% of a college setting that no longer exists.

>Mfw going to college/uni and this shit is nothing like the movies.

I much prefered Mike as the protagonist to Sully.
Sully and Boo's relationship is adoreable but overall his personalitites kind of bland in Inc.
Mike was the foil, so as a protagonist he's got all his flaws like his overconfidence and self-centerdness but they expand on his strengths like his smarts and determination. He's just more engaging and both he and Sully get really strong internal chatacter arcs.

I remember it had a good following here... at least, everyone wanted to fuck, at least, one of the monsters in the movie.

damn straight

seems like plenty of people liked it. It's just that it's a silly prequel that doesn't really have much to do with the events of the original, so, I guess there's not much to talk about. Oh wait, there were a couple monster waifus that people loved to talk about.

I remember the dean having a cool design.

There's enough porn of it out there that i'm fairly sure it was well liked

Unironically better than the first movie.

Because it was a highly unimaginative, cliched college story.

idk about that but it was good

this

Same. Except I never saw them because I was born in 1998.

I kinda agree

tfw no sully bf

>no big furry bf to cuddle with on the winter
This hurts me.
Did it at least got good fanart from the japs?

Damn, why didn't I get it then? Had to waste 4 years until I'm finally studying something realistic for me.

They do

>projecting your life onto a 10 year old boy who just goes around catching bugs
lmao

It was so generic and plain with its message, the original had this amazing take on the monster in the closet and this was a "overcoming your shortcomings/adversity" basic story. It was a sequel that no one, and I mean no one, asked for.

>"overcoming your shortcomings/adversity" basic story
Show me a story like that where the mc doesn't get exactly what he wanted at the end.

Meh, it was an unimaginative premise that had nothing imaginative done with it plotwise until the very end that actively dumbed down the universe set up by the first movie. 6/10.

For a company that was once so renowned for its creativity and heart, the movie offered very little. The premise wasn't interesting or unique. "What if we took our characters from a really beloved film and stuck them in college" is a shit idea.

this is a great shot

Of course it does, you just have to be a Chad or a Chad magnet

No Sup Forumsmrade shold ever say that.

Pretty bold of people working at fucking Disney to say "hey kids you might not land that dream job but at least you'll work 9-5 at a factory job for a living in an apartment with your heterosexual life partner!"

Just think of all the potentially wasted effort that was saved by that message.

It hit like every cliche in its genre (college movie) there was and didn't do anything unique with its setting. Like Cars.

>Then we enter the real world and have no true understanding of failure or how to cope with it.
This. One of the most critical parts of a graduate school application is showing that you are capable of handling failure (because research WILL fail in one way or another) and building it into something. Its amazing how hard you have to beat failure into someone before they realize that they can keep going

>It hit like every cliche in its genre (college movie) there was
..wait for itttt......
>..and didn't do anything unique with its setting.
..steady now..
>Like Cars.

badum-tsshhhhh!

Holy shit dude

What? He has legit shit taste, how can anyone prefer the Webb movies to the Raimi ones.
