It may not be as good as the earlier Pixar films, but this sequel is still better than other animated films currently out there. Even though the story is a carbon-copy of every eighties college movie (minus the sex and drugs) they still manage to stick in so much amazing visual detail, texture, and beautiful lighting that I don't even mind the lazy by-the-numbers storyline. The environment designs are incredible. I especially like how the entrance to every building looks like a monster's mouth. In the end, I'd much rather see a sequel in this universe, than a prequel. I want to see the characters making kids laugh now. We've already done the scaring bit before and it's getting old. "Twins! In a bunk-bed!"
