Here is the preliminary synopsis:

?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.?

And yet, the sequels always sell better than the original properties. And when people fall in love with characters, they want to see them again. We will get an Incredibles sequel and a Wall-E sequel before too long as well.

wouldn't be surprised

I remember coming across a list sometime in 2007 or 2008 that listed all the Pixar movies coming out, new properties as well as sequels. I wish I still could find that list. MI2 was on the list.

Monsters University is an upcoming 2013 computer-animated comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, intended to be a prequel to the 2001 Pixar film Monsters, Inc. Dan Scanlon is the director and Kori Rae is the producer. John Goodman, Billy Crystal, and Steve Buscemi will reprise their roles from the first film. The film is set for release on June 21, 2013, and will mark the first prequel Pixar has ever produced.Set about ten years before the events of Monsters, Inc., James P. Sullivan and Mike Wazowski meet in college and plan to become scarers at Monsters, Inc.

Plans for a second Monsters, Inc. film have existed since 2005. Following disagreements between then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner and then-Pixar owner Steve Jobs, Disney (who at the time owned the rights to make sequels to all of Pixar's films up to Cars) announced that a sequel to Monsters, Inc. would be made by Circle 7 Animation. However, Disney's change of management in late 2005 (which saw Eisner replaced by his lieutenant Robert Iger) led to renewed negotiations with Pixar, and in early 2006 Disney announced that they had purchased the studio. The Disney-owned sequel rights were then transferred to Pixar, leading to the cancellation of Rob Muir and Bob Hilgenberg's version of the film and the subsequent closure of Circle 7. A Pixar-made sequel was confirmed in 2010. On April 5, 2011, it was announced that the film's release date would be June 21, 2013. It will be the studio's fourteenth feature film.

Really can't wait for this, Monsters Inc was one of my favourite movies as a kid and still is!

Still think they're going to ruin the first one.

It had a perfect story, a perfect ending... just hoping it isn't ruined. Cash cow still rings in my ears though.

The only negative product I have seen from Pixar was Cars 2, which was missing the heart and soul that all of their other movies had. Cash cow? Hardly. Cars 2 aside, Pixar has been delivering solid, quality movies.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
