If you've ever watched TV, I can almost guarantee you've stumbled upon Monsters Inc. It's a tale of two monsters, Mike and Sully, who work together as professional scarers. Not only are the coworkers, but they are friends and roommates. But have you ever wondered what happened before they were hired at Monsters Incorporated and became the top scarers? Well, your answer lies in the sequel, Monsters University, which hit the theaters in 2013.
Not only does this movie show an adorable baby Mike, but it also gives a back story to a great friendship and shows the hardship that both Mike and Sully had to go through during their University years.
I think this is an important movie for incoming college freshmen to watch, simply because it shoves the reality of college life in your face in a way that is easy to relate to. The first time I watched it was shortly after I moved in during my freshman year. Not only was it cute af but it also, as crazy as it sounds, was really informative. Almost everything that was shown in the movie was something similar to what I had ended up actually experiencing my freshman year of college.
