History Trivia / MonstersUniversity

* ActorAllusion: While [[TalkingInYourSleep talking in his sleep]], Mike mentions a princess being in love with a stable boy, referencing ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' (in which Billy Crystal had a role).

* {{Defictionalization}}: To promote the film, an [[http://monstersuniversity.com/edu/index.html M.U. website]] has been created that greatly resembles that of a real college.
** Disney Press also produced a Monsters University Yearbook (meant to be Mike's and signed by numerous characters) as a tie-in, though done in a more illustrated style resembling concept art and the opening titles.

** Earlier storyboards seem to indicate that Terri enjoyed experimenting with personas, including becoming a goth, much to Terry's annoyance.

** The Italian dub did not use any of the "Monsters Inc." voices except for the Yeti's and Roz’s Partially due to the fact that both Tonino Accolla (Mike) and Daniele Formica (Randall) died before the film got dubbed.

** Originally Monsters University was going to be a sequel to Monsters Inc.,and was called "Monsters, Inc. 2: Lost in Scaradise," which was created by Circle 7. It would've been about Mike & Sulley dropping by Boo's room to wish her a happy birthday, only to discover that somebody different is sleeping in Boo's room. It seems that Boo and her family have moved since Mike and Sulley last visited her. Sulley is so determined to see Boo again that he and Mike venture out in the human world in order to find her. Once Mike and Sulley cross over into the human world, they then aren't allowed to return to Monstropolis until they actually reunite with Boo. It would also include an older Boo trying to hide Mike and Sulley from other people.
