After being in a bit of a slump, Pixar rights the ship, somewhat, with
Monsters University. (Of course, a "slump" is all relative: Their last two films,
Cars 2 and
Brave, combined to bring in about $1.1 billion worldwide.) The new film, a prequel to
Monsters, Inc., is consistently funny and likeable, which isn't the same as great. My review is up at
Deadspin.
