WAMG At The MONSTERS UNIVERSITY World Premiere

On Monday, June 17th, 2013 WAMG attended the the WORLD PREMIERE of Disney•Pixar’s frighteningly fun “MONSTERS UNIVERITY,” featuring the voices of Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and Helen Mirren. The event was held at the El Capitan on Hollywood Blvd. and featured the ESPN College Scareday hosted by Lee Corso and Desmond Howard as they provided play-by-play commentary on the blue carpet, a photo ID station where guests could create their own student ID, the MU pep squad drum corps and cheerleaders, as well as the Disneyland All-American college band, appearances by Mike & Sulley, a monster obstacle course, games like Eye Ball, Sulley’s Shuffle Air Hockey and EEK ball, temporary tattoos, opportunities to design a monster head piece, Build and Growl replica race cars from Lowe’s Build and Grow, and MU team spirit accessories.

Attending the event were Billy Crystal, Sean P. Hayes, Charlie Day, Bobby Moynihan, John Ratzenberger, Noah Johnston, director Dan Scanlon, and executive producer John Lasseter. Also, guests Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, Alessandra Ambrosio, Ed Begley Jr., Wayne Brady, Kate Flannery, Melissa Joan Hart, Oscar Nunez, Tito Ortiz, Scottie Pippen, Karina Smirnoff. From ESPN: Lee Corso and Desmond Howard. From ABC: Molly Ephraim (“Last Man Standing”), Isabella Cramp and Max Charles (“The Neighbors”), Rico Rodriguez (“Modern Family”), and Eden Sher (“The Middle”) were there to show their MU team spirit.

Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) 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 (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike’s plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, “Sulley” (voice of John Goodman), 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 realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right. Screaming with laughter and oozing with heart, Disney•Pixar’s “Monsters University” is directed by Dan Scanlon (“Cars,” “Mater and the Ghostlight,” “Tracy”), produced by Kori Rae (“Up,” “The Incredibles,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and features music from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and award-winning composer Randy Newman (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Toy Story 3”).
