Monsters University - Drunk Monk - 08-12-2013
This film is exactly what you think it is. Exactly. Crystal is super annoying.
The opening Pixar short Blue Umbrella was amazingly real looking.
MU was based on UC Berkeley, and that's somewhat amusing. There might have been a swordfight because I fell asleep in the beginning and missed about 10 minutes.
Ratzenberger voices The Yeti, which worked really well for me personally.

...that this will probably be the last movie i will see with my dad.
My dad loved westerns, 'shoot-em-ups' as he called them, samurai films and kung fu films. We went to so many films together when I was young. Since his stroke, we only went to kid flicks with my kid. We didn't really go to movies together after I moved out until the kid films came up. My mom loves kids movies. Me too. And after Dad's stroke, I think he found them amusing as well.

No sword fight. It seemed dumbed down. Didn't have the usual intelligence of the Pixar films. Didn't watch the short. I didn't like any of the characters enough to get invested in the film. It probably would have helped to have seen Monsters Inc more recently so I would have gotten more of the referential jokes. Not a laugh for me in the film.
Is the streak of great Pixar films over? I'm looking at the Haggis Killer for answers. (Which I think he gave when he said the story editor who oversaw all the great Pixar films had left the company) It is probably indicative of how far their fortunes have fallen by the plethora of sequels Pixar has released.

I can't remember anything about this film now.
