Pixar Play Parade Photo Blog: Part 1 Monsters University

As I mentioned in my previous blog about the Inside Out Pre Parade  Float---I hadn't seen the Pixar Play Parade in a couple of years.   Probably the last time I saw it was when Monsters University came out and they added the Monsters University stuff to the beginning of the parade.   Getting a spot for this parade is a lot easier than across the street at Disneyland.

 The Pixar Play parade has been performing on and off since 2008 with a break during the Carland construction.  It is a fun parade that include water effects that spray water out at the audience that features Pixar characters exclusively.  

In Part one we take a look at the Monsters University section of the parade.   Leading the parade is   Roz. 

Followed by  Squishy, Art and Terry & Terri (characters from Monsters University.    

Then comes Sully in Monster University Letterman's jacket.

The main parade float now reads  "Celebrating 60 years of Fun"  

 a Reference to Disneyland's  60th Bithday

Disney/Pixar Animated Short Reviews: #38 Monsters University: Party Central 9 out of 10

Monsters University: Party Central 9 out of 10

This Pixar short that preceded The Muppets Most Wanted was great.  It feautures the hapless Revenge of the Nerds like Frat that our favorite Monsters from the film.  They are  trying unsuccessfully to throw a college party.  Mike and Sully show up with a couple of Monsters Inc doors which they use to cleverly steal the party from the more popular frat.   It was really funny with many interesting sight gags they sneak the party piece by piece through doors that pass through a couple of humans bedroom.  It was the perfect use of the characters in the Monsters University setting.   The gags involving the use of the doors were great.  Definitely check this short out if you like the Monsters universe.

The Monsters are ready to scare up some business at the theaters and the parks

Monsters University the prequel to Monsters Inc that shows us how Mike and Sully meet,  had a Monster sized opening weekend of about  82 million dollars taking first place over  the zombie epic  World War Z at the box office.

With this big new Monsters Inc movie hitting theaters....The Monsters were of course all over the parks as well.    The Monsters Inc ride that you can normally walk right on has seen a new influx of people waiting in  long lines for it and there is a new Monsters University section in the daily Pixar parade to check out.

In addition to the parade featuring Monsters University----there is a new meet an greet section in Hollywood as well.
