Monsters University New Images

Monsters University will be hitting big screen this summer as Mike and Sulley are back.

Dan Scanlon is in the director’s chair this time around while Billy Crystal and John Goodman are back.

But this movie takes up back to their university year and Mike and Sulley are the not the firm friends that we saw in the first film.

While there are some familiar characters there are also some exciting new additions as Helen Mirren, Charlie Day and John Krasinski are lending their voices to the film.

Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (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’ (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.

Monsters University is released 12th July

Monsters, Inc remains my favourite Pixar movie ever and I have to admit that I was a little nervous when I heard that they were making a second film.

I was even more worried when it was revealed that it was going to a prequel rather than a sequel but the movie I see of the film the more I am looking forward to it – and let’s face it no summer is complete without a Pixar film to enjoy.

You can check out the Monsters University trailer on FemaleFirst.

Billy Crystal is back voicing Mike Wazowski while John Goodman is also back as Sulley.

Now I am a huge lover of Pixar movie and my all time personal fave has to be Monsters Inc – so you can imagine that I am excited and apprehensive all at the same time for Monsters University.

Steve Buscemi is also back to bring Randall Boggs to life while Joel Murray is another of the names on the cast list.

Brave Spoof Trailer

Brave is set to be one of the must see animation movies of 2012 as Pixar return with the first original story in three years.

I have to admit that brave is a movie that I have been looking forward to for about twelve months because it looks completely different to what they have produced before.

And we have a great spoof trailer for the movie for you to take a look at:

Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson).

Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane).

Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish.

The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.

Brave is released 22nd June

Brave Character Posters

No summer would be complete without a Pixar movie to enjoy and this year the animation giants bring us an original story in the form of Brave.

Now I don’t know about you but I am a huge Pixar fan and am always excited about their latest release – Brave in particular as we have heard bits and pieces about this movie for the last twelve months.

And we have two new character posters for you to take a look at as we introduce you to Merida and Angus.

Passionate and fiery, Merida is a headstrong teenager of royal upbringing who is struggling to take control of her own destiny. She feels most at home in the outdoors honing her impressive athletic skills as an archer and swordfighter, and racing across the magnificent Highland countryside with her faithful horse, Angus.

With a spirit as vibrant as her untamed hair, Merida also has a softness of heart, especially when it comes to her wee triplet brothers.

As the daughter of the King and Queen, her life is weighted with responsibilities and expectations, causing her to yearn to preserve her freedom and independence.

When Merida blatantly defies an ancient tradition, the consequences of her actions prove disastrous for the kingdom. She must race against time to make right the result of her reckless behavior, her journey compelling her to look inside to discover the meaning of bravery and reveal her true fate.

Black as night with ivory muzzle and fetlocks, Angus is Merida’s powerful Clydesdale and her most trusted confidant.

Angus is Merida’s escape from castle life into the deep forest and the highlands beyond. Merida target shoots from her perch on his broad back and is able to coax him into one adventure after another.

Angus can be balky, stubborn and faint-hearted at times, but is ultimately a devoted and faithful friend to Merida.

Brave is released 17th August.

La Luna Clip & Artwork

In front of every Pixar movie comes a short is always as entertaining as the movie itself – Birds; which was in front of Monster Inc is my personal fave.

Cars 2 already has it’s short – the Toy Story piece Hawaiian Vacation – it’s uncertain where La Luna is going to feature.

La Luna is the timeless fable of a young boy who is coming of age in the most peculiar of circumstances.

Tonight is the very first time his Papa and Grandpa are taking him to work. In an old wooden boat they row far out to sea, and with no land in sight, they stop and wait.

A big surprise awaits the little boy as he discovers his family’s most unusual line of work. Should he follow the example of his Papa, or his Grandpa?

Will he be able to find his own way in the midst of their conflicting opinions and timeworn traditions?

Take a look at a clip from the short.
