Disney Monsters University Baseball Cap for Adults

Product Information

Monsters University is the first Pixar film that used global illumination, a new lighting system introduced as part of the overhaul of the rendering system used since the first Toy Story film. In the planning stage of the film, director of photography, Jean-Claude Kalache, asked: "What if we made these lights just work?" Before the new system, artists had to build reflections and shadows manually, which became increasingly complex as the models and the setups became more technologically advanced. The new lighting system uses ray tracing, a technique that imitates the behavior of the light in the real world; this automatized the process, delivered more realism, produced soft shadows, and let the artist spend more time on models and complex scenes—some of which contained thousands of light sources. The return to Pixar ensured that the film could tap all of the original voice actors, most notably Billy Crystal, John Goodman, and Steve Buscemi. And by now, the Pixar films were prominent and prestigious enough to attract stars such as Helen Mirren, Nathan Fillion, and Alfred Molina to play new characters (respectively) Dean Abigail Hardscrabble, Johnny J. Worthington, and Professor Derek Knight. Aubrey Plaza voiced Claire Wheeler, a monster with a suspicious resemblance to Aubrey Plaza, and other actors came in to voice or cameo minor roles—including now reliable Pixar stalwart John Ratzenberger, playing a mail room employee in a nod to his role on Cheers. Monsters University also contains some delightfully sly moments—a bit showing an Aquatics School located underwater, because, water monsters; a scene where a few monsters gleefully rejoice in eating garbage (since quite a few of them somewhat resemble Muppets, and thus, Oscar the Grouch, this makes quite a bit of sense); every bit of dialogue voiced by Helen Mirren, and the visual homages to Helen Mirren. It also somewhat answers one of the lingering questions from the first film—namely, how did all of those magical bedroom doors end up the world of monsters? (SCIENCE, kids! SCIENCE!)

Monsters University starts out with an adorable little Mike monster taking a field trip with other students to the great institution of Monsters, Inc. When I say adorable, I mean, adorable: Everything about little Mike, from the voice of kid actor Noah Johnson (who would go on from this to voice Schroeder in Peanuts, and who I hope to hear more from after he graduates school) to the animation is so adorable that I want to reach through the screen and squeeze and cuddle him. (Yes, I know, Disney has plenty of merchandise to let me do that.) Alas, Mike’s classmates do not agree, refusing to buddy up with him and leaving him with—sniffle—the teacher. And he’s too little to see through the other monsters and the other younger monsters say that he doesn’t belong on the Scare Floor. An upset but still adorable little Mike sneaks onto the Scare Floor anyway and right through one of the doors to the human world. In the ensuing drama, he gets a hat from one of the star Scarers—I was reminded of the similar scene in Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail—and Mike knows what he wants to do with his life: scare kids.
