The topic for today’s post came from my brother. He is a huge football fan and discovered this amazing bit of Disney marketing while watching a college football game. During the commercials different colleges advertise their campus hoping the fans will want to come attend their college. Along with Ohio State and USC there was an ad for Monsters University. It looked and sounded like all the other college ads, and for a moment my brother was intrigued. What was this Monsters University? Did they have a football team? It took a moment for him to realize they were advertising a movie, not a college. It was so true to form that he thought for a second this was some new college option.
Monsters University is a new Disney Pixar movie coming out Jun 21, 2013. It is a prequil to the popular Monsters, Inc. If you enjoyed watching Mike and Scully scaring all the childen then why not see where they learned it all. You can explore Monsters University before the movie arrives. Visit monstersuniversity.com and immerse yourself in the campus life.
This is an amazing website. It looks like every college website I have ever seen. It is difficult to tell that it is designed to promote a movie. Be sure to click on the store. I love the four sleeved hoodie. If the movie is as detailed as their website it is sure to be a hit. Happiness squared.
Goofy Tip: If the website leaves you wanting more you can spend time with Mike and Sully at Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sully to the Rescue! at Disney California Adventure and the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor at the Magic Kingdom.
