Registration Day for Monsters University #MonstersUEvent


Photo-A-Day #2922

Today I flew out to San Francisco to register for orientation at Monsters University (Pixar Animation Studios Campus). I’m here with a bunch of other bloggers to learn as much as I can about the upcoming Pixar movie Monsters University.

I can’t say much right now but I did get to see the first 40 minutes of the movie and I’m very excited about seeing the rest of it on June 21, 2013. I also got the see the full short film The Blue Umbrella which will play before Monsters University. It was an amazing short film.

I also had the opportunity to speak with both the director of Monsters University, Dan Scanlon and the director of The Blue Umbrella, Saschka Unseld. Great conversations with each of them and I’ll talk more about the content of those conversations in further posts.
