Synopsis and trailer follow...

Ever since Mike Wazowski 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. But during his first semester at MU, Mike's plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, aka Sulley, 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 realise they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right. Monsters University bravely explores themes of self-discovery and the revelations that come with growing up.
