The holidays are approaching, easily the busiest time of the year for many families. When the pressure starts to get to me, I declare it “family movie night” and watch a movie the entire family can enjoy. Our next movie night will feature Monsters University, released on October 29th. This collector’s edition features a blu-ray, dvd, and digital copy and tells us the heartwarming story of how Mike and Sully became lifelong friends. Mike, voiced by Billy Crystal, has dreamed of becoming a scarer since he was a little tike and what better place to learn than Monsters U? When he crosses paths with campus hotshot James Sullivan, voiced by John Goodman, the two begin a competition that gets them kicked out of the elite scare program. Now the two of them must work together, along with a group of misfit monsters, if they ever want to get their plans back on track. Bonus features in the film include The Blue Umbrella theatrical short, Scare games and scare tactics, deleted scenes and more.
Ready to embrace your inner monster? Try this ideas to create a cool Monster U party at your home.
Make green kool aid and serve it in monster cups. Use clear plastic cups and cut out white circles for eyeballs. Using a black marker, make black dots in the middle of the circle and surround this dot with a line using a blue marker. Glue onto the plastic cups.
Make monsterously good snacks. Each snack requires a green apple, marshmallows, paste food coloring and a small paintbrush. Chop each marshmallow in half with a knife. Using a clean paintbrush and black paste food coloring, make a dot in the middle of the marshmallow. Using blue paste food coloring make a circle around the black dot. Wet the cut end of the marshmallow with a small amount of water and press the marshmallow against the apples.
What ideas do you have for a Monsters U party at your house?
This site was… how do I say it? Relevant!! Finally I’ve found something
which helped me. Thanks!
We watched this for our family movie night last weekend! I LOVE this movie.
Oh goodness, we must watch this. Since we have no kids, but we love animated movies and cartoons, our typical movie night is to make dinner and literally do dinner and a movie in our living room LOL
We loved Monsters University when we first saw it. These are some great ideas for enjoying it over and over with the family.
See that really would make it so much more fun if you got fun with dinner and snacks and such on movie night!
We haven’t seen this yet, but I think I’m getting in On Demand for the kids tomorrow night! =)
Great family movie, I can’t wait to see it again
I can’t wait to see the movie! I love all your super fun snack idea with the marshmallows! I am sure my grandchildren would get a kick out of that.
This is the perfect family night movie!
Monsters University will most definitely be making an appearance at my family movie night! Thanks for the snack ideas!
Thanks for the Monster U party snacks ideas. We need to rent this soon for family night.
My kids have been asking to see this movie. I’m thinking I’m gonna have to put this on the Christmas list for sure. As for a party, hmm, I’d have to think about that.
We went to the movies and saw it and loved it. I have no ideas for a Monsters U party but I’m sure my kids could come up with something. 🙂
This is perfect for a family movie night! I was wondering what we were going to watch this weekend… definitely Monsters University!
We love Monsters University! I haven’t bought the DVD yet, and my husband still hasn’t seen it, so I need to get out quickly!
My boys and I love this movie. We saw it back when it was out in the theaters and they were psyched when I got it on DVD for them. We’ve already watched it about 100 times 🙂
We watched this last night on Halloween! Great movie. I’m not always a fan of sequels, but this one is definitely a keeper!
I loved this movie, it was really cute!I can see why so many people are raving about it.
I didn’t know that this was out yet! I need to get a copy for my son because he dressed up as the Mike monster. He hasn’t seen this movie yet and will love it.
I haven’t seen the movie yet and need to get my rear in gear…. I love the green drink idea, only I would serve herbs to make it green instead of koolaid.
Such a cute movie! I definitely can’t wait to see it!!
This is such a fun movie and one that my kids love!
