Monster Inc University Latino 720p
Sofia Gilcrease
After hearing requests for Latin American monsters, Murdy brought La Llorona, the vengeful mother who drowned her own children in a jealous fit, to the Universal Scare Zone in 2010. In light of her popularity among attendees, she was given her own haunted house the following year.
However, the mazes that focused on these Latin American folk tales were short-lived and did not continue in the Horror Nights event again until 2022. Murdy brought back La Llorona in 2022, along with other monsters in the nearby scare zones: El Cucuy, La Chupacabra, El Cadejo and more.
Inside, the first mythical monster that visitors encounter is Tlahuelpuchi, a cursed shape-shifting vampire witch with an insatiable desire for blood. Though variations of the story exist along the Nahua region of Mexico, Tlahuelpuchi typically turns into a Mexican turkey vulture.
The second monster to greet visitors is La Lechuza, a mythical creature from Mexico and southwest Texas. She is a half-owl and half-elderly woman, who seeks revenge on the village that put her to death for suspicions of her being a witch.
Though these stories of monsters and tragedy might be new to the theme park, they are not new to the Latinos who grew up with them as cautionary tales. The impact of Latin American horror is a testament to the power of intergenerational storytelling that honors tradition in terror.
Cómo recomendarías "Monsters University" a un público latino?
"Monsters University" es una película para toda la familia que nos va a hacer reír con todas las aventuras, anécdotas, juegos y tradiciones que ocurren en las universidades. Pero también nos deja un mensaje muy bonito de amistad y de cómo encontrarnos a nosotros mismos, nuestro talento innatos y nuestras debilidades, cómo tomar ventaja de estos para alcanzar nuestras metas y cumplir nuestros sueños. Y esto es precisamente lo que viven Sulley y Mike en la película. No se la pierdan!
In the spirit of political phenomena such as the Hillary Clinton support group Pantsuit Nation or Trump-inspired pussy hats; cultural ones like the Netflix series Orange is the New Black; and literary examples, such as the Stieg Larsson Millennium trilogy, female monsters are more prominent than ever, moving from the shadows toward the spotlight in a world that now champions and celebrates them.

Monsters University tells the story of how Mike and Sulley met and became friends while they attended Monsters University's "School of Scaring". When they first met, they were rivals who both dreamt of being the scariest monsters on campus. However, when their overly competitive nature winds up getting them, both kicked out of the school's elite Scaring Program, they have no choice but to pair up with a gang of misfit monster outcasts to have any hope of setting things right.
At their first day of class, Mike, Randy and the other students are greeted by the orange, dinosaur-like Professor Knight, who teaches Scaring 101. When Professor Knight explains how the class will go, the dean of the school, the dragon-like, millipede-legged Abigail Hardscrabble - a legendary Scarer - drops in on the class unexpectedly. Her belief is that scariness is the true measure of a monster, letting them know how high her expectations are. She explains that there will be a final exam at the end of the semester, and failure will result in being kicked out of the program. After she leaves, an 18 year old student arrives late, James P. Sullivan, a natural Scarer. Despite having a lot of potential, Sulley never studies and always forgets his pencils and books whenever he goes to class.
The day of the final exam arrives, and Johnny threatens to kick Sulley out of ROR if he fails the exam, declaring that it's time for him to stop showboating and start delivering on his family name. Each student must perform the appropriate scare tactic assigned to each mock child using a scare simulator set to its medium setting. Roar Omega Roar watches from the back of the lecture hall and Sulley sees Mike studying. In order to antagonize him, Sulley pushes Mike's books off his desk, causing the two to argue. Mike begins to roar at Sulley, to show him what he's capable of. Unimpressed, Sulley roars back. That goes on until they gain the attention of Dean Hardscrabble. Suddenly, Sulley trips over one of Mike's books and stumbles into the pedestal Dean Hardscrabble's scream canister rests on, knocking it to the floor and braking it open, sending it rocketing all over the room until finally collapsing right before Mike and Sully and ruining it. They both expect the full brunt of Hardscrabble's fury for their catastrophic bumbling. But, strangely enough, Hardscrabble acts quite calm about it, dismissing it as an accident where thankfully, nobody was hurt. She continues the exams, taking over Mike and Sulley's tests herself. She asks Mike to inform her which scare would be used for a child afraid of lightning and he remembers the scare tactic perfectly but Hardscrabble dismisses him before he can even demonstrate or even try it on the simulator. When she is about to test Sulley, he just roars at her impulsively without letting her finish declaring the task, arrogantly claiming that he doesn't need to know any of that "stuff" to scare a child. Hardscrabble informs him "that stuff" would've informed him that the child was afraid of snakes, meaning a roar wouldn't have made it scream; instead it would have made it cry, alerting the parents to his presence and possibly exposing the monster world to the humans which would very much mean the end of their lives as they know it. Sully's laziness proves to be his undoing when Hardscrabble promptly dismisses him from the program and he storms off in anger just after ROR does the same when they witness his failure. She explains to Mike that while his knowledge of scaring is spot-on, what he lacks cannot be taught, and she dismisses him from the scare program as well believing that he is not scary at all. Mike tries to plea to her by trying his skill on the simulator, hoping to surprise her. But she refuses him the chance, claiming to not be easily impressed, leaving him standing in horror with his lifelong dream of being a scarer shattered like glass.
When they return from winter break, instead of becoming Scarers, Mike and Sulley join the extremely boring Scream Can Design school where Sulley is visibly angry at Mike. Mike is so upset that his dream of being in the Scare Program has ended so soon, that he throws his book at the wall knocking down his calendar revealing a poster of the "Scare Games". That gives him the idea for getting out of his misery. He runs out his dorm room, past an angry Sulley who follows him. The sign-up for the Scare Games is nearing a close as the school gathers to listen to Hardscrabble explaining that in order to win the games, a team must be the "most fearsome monsters on campus!". Just before the end of the sign-up, Mike stands up on a car and shouts out his sign up for his new fraternity - Oozma Kappa! Everyone breaks out in a laugh as Oozma Kappa isn't really the scariest group of monsters on campus. Hardscrabble doesn't think Mike stands a chance, so he baits her into a wager: if OK wins, they must be allowed into the Scaring Program. She agrees, but also tells Mike that if they lose, he will leave Monsters University. And she also tells him there must be six members to join the games, and they only have five, as the rules of the games only count bodies as team-members, and so the two-headed monster Terri and Terry count only as one. Mike asks Randall to join Oozma Kappa, but he finally became part of the cool guys at Roar Omega Roar and he warns Mike to not mess that up. Sensing an opportunity Sulley decides to join OK. With no one else willing to join and desperate to get back into the Scare program, Mike reluctantly agrees.
