About Monster University
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 (MU). 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 (“Cars,” “Mater and the Ghostlight,” “Tracy”), produced by Kori Rae (“Up,” “The Incredibles,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and features music from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and award-winning composer Randy Newman (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Toy Story 3”).

Finally! Finding Nemo’s Dory is Back with Ellen DeGeneres with Disney•Pixar’s “Finding Dory”

Director and Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton tells the press that “Finding Dory” will take place about a year after the first film and will feature favorites from “Finding Nemo” Marlin, Nemo and the Tank Gang, among others. It will be set along the California coastline and will have some new characters, including a few who will prove to be a very important part of Dory’s life.

We loved Ellen DeGeneres’ comment “I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time… I know the people at Pixar were busy creating ‘Toy Story 16.’ The script is fantastic… It’s got a lot of heart, it’s really funny, and the best part is—it’s got a lot more Dory.”

New rules – each movie had to had 5% of the vote in the #1 slot to be considered for Best Picture. We narrow it down to The Artist or The Help. The Help won big at the SAG Awards but as Kristyn points out the SAG Awards is about acting not that’s not a best picture. We all loved The Artist due to the romance and nostalgia celebrating movies – if you haven’t seen it, there’s still time.
