Monsters University is an upcoming American CGI-animated or just animated television series, based on the 2013 Disney-Pixar prequel film of 2001's Monsters, Inc. of the same name. It follows the adventures of Mike and Sulley still in their college years along with their Oozma Kappa fraternity brothers. It also takes place before the events of the Scare Games. It will also be the second Disney TV series both produced by Walt Disney Television Animation and Pixar Animation Studios, ever since Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, back from 2000.
Plot
The series is still set in Monsters University and centers around and features Mike Wazowski and James "Sulley" P. Sullivan and their fellow Oozma Kappa brothers in many different adventures at Monsters University, which all take place before the events of the Scare Games. Students who did not speak in the film will also have speaking roles in the series as well. Things revealed in the Monsters University Fearbook and Monsters University: The Essential Guide that are never seen in the film will be seen in the series, too. The rest of the student body and staff besides the frats and sororities according to the Fearbook will also appear in the series, too. MU's rival, Fear Tech, expect it's mascot, Archie the Scare Pig, will also appear in the series too, and Archie himself will also appear in some episodes of the series, too.
There are six fraternities and six sororities at Monsters University. The fraternities are Oozma Kappa (OK), Roar Omega Roar (ROR), Jaws Theta Chi (JOX), Omega Howl (OH), Slugma Oozma Python (EOP) and Gamma Roar Roar (GRR). The sororities are Python Nu Kappa (PNK), Slugma Slugma Kappa (EEK), Eta Hiss Hiss (HSS), Slugma Kappa Theta (EKO) Chi Phi Argma (XOA) and Argma Slugma Argma (AEA). OK, JOX, ROR, HSS, EEK and PNK are the competing frats and sororities for the Scare Games in the film, and only one OH brother has been shown. Scarers that had graduated from MU past years and Scarers who are currently working at Monsters, Inc., Fear Co. and Scream Industries will also be mentioned in some episodes, and also, Scare Cards will also sometimes be mentioned and seen in some episodes as well. Besides the Scare Games, other events at MU would be seen in the series as well, such as the Horrorful Entrapment All Upon the Full Moon Formal, an institution masquerade dance taking place on Halloween (or called the HEAUTFM dance for short), parties at on campus houses besides the JOX party and the ROR party that humiliates the OKS as seen in the film, institution football games between MU and Fear Tech, Christmas events, graduation events, and many more. The Monsters University alma mater will also be heard and sung in some episodes of the series as well. The OKs will also be the protagonist fraternity in the series. The RORs will also be the antagonist fraternity, Johnny J. Worthington III (the leader of the RORs) will also reprise his role as the main antagonist and Carrie Williams (the leader of the PNKs) will also be a secondary antagonist in the series, too. Voice actors will also reprise their roles as those characters too or not.
