Believe it or not!
Almost all of the unlikely seeming beauty treatments the Queen undergoes are actually real treatments you can get at spas all over the world.
Among the real ones are: the bird poop paste, the chocolate (or clay, it’s not clear which it is since it’s brown) mask, the snake massage, the snail slime, the maggots and the tiny fishes that eat away dead skin cells.
One of the few (if not the only) fake treatments shown is the bee sting to the lips to plump them up, although lip plumpers really do contain (usually botanical or chemical, not insectoid) irritants.
Can you spot this?
When Mike and Sully are first shown their room at the frat house, the light switch is under the top bunk bed. In subsequent shots it has moved closer to the door and is no longer directly under the bed.
Trivia!
The Monsters University campus is based largely on the University of California at Berkeley campus, which is very close to Pixar’s headquarters in Emeryville, CA. The Monsters University gate is based on UC Berkeley’s famous Sather Gate, and the clock tower in the film is based on Berkeley’s Campanille clock tower. (UC Berkeley also carries the 510 area code, seen in the film.)
What’s it about?
Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn’t always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn’t stand each other. ‘Monsters University’ unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends.
Movie Talk:
Mike Wazowski: You don’t think I’m scary. Sulley: You’re not even in the same league with me.
