Dan Scanlon illustrated a comic book called Unmentionables.
The latest 3-D computer-animated comedy film from Pixar Animation Studios is Monsters University, directed by Dan Scanlon.
Ever since Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a professional Scarer — and he knows that the best Scarers come from Monsters University (MU). However, during his first semester at MU, Mike’s plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot MU student Sulley (John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer.
Mike and Sulley’s out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University’s special Scare Program. To make matters worse, they then realise that they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.
Catch the action, fun and spectacular animation when Monsters University hits local cinemas on August 1.
