Oscars funnyman Billy Crystal has spoken about Pixar’s forthcoming Monsters Inc. prequel Monsters University. Following on from the previously released teaser trailers that saw our familiar monster heroes Mike and Sully enjoying some classic dorm room pranks, Crystal has confirmed that the new film will indeed borrow from classic college capers like Revenge of The Nerds.

Here’s what Crystal had to say about the new pubescent monster adventures:

“They end up in the same fraternity where they have this scare competition – like Greek Games in college. They have to mobilise a group, sort of like Revenge Of The Nerds monsters, and get them ready to be scary.”

In keeping with the Nerds homage Crystal also confirmed that his one eyed pea green monster will definitely wear a retainer in the new film, just to make the stereotype clear. Though we suspect that John Goodman’s Sully might be more of a furry blue Jock.
