Watch: ‘Monsters University’ Featurette Details Plot, Features New Footage and Concept Art

We have been eagerly anticipating new details, concept art, and video from Monsters University. After the film’s impressive viral campaign kicked off with a website and advertisement for the fictional school, Pixar has been keeping the prequel close to its chest, as we have yet to see a full-length trailer. There may be some new material debuting at Toy Fair next week during the scheduled press event previewing toys and merchandise that will tie into the film. Now, there is a brand new featurette that gives us a better overview of the film’s plot and features new footage and stunning new concept art. Watch it after the break!

Monsters University - Gates

Animation Fascination has posted the Monsters University featurette (via Upcoming Pixar), which appears to be the one that will be included with the upcoming re-release of Monsters, Inc. on Blu-ray. Be aware that there is far more information about the plot in this video than we have heard to this point, but rest assured that the studio is rather good at keeping essential story points from the public.



Watch the featurette below:

    Just watched the whole thing.. I recall this time last year when previews for Brave were coming out, i was so nervous that each preview would give away huge spoilers.
    I almost had the the same feelings while watching this until I recalled how surprised i was when i finally watched Brave. im trusting Pixar didn’t give away too much this time!

      Lol I’m feeling just like you right now! I couldn’t finish watching the featurette because I sensed a big spoiler coming. I’m better off in doubt really.
