History Heartwarming / MonstersUniversity

* The scene where Oozma Kappa spy on Monsters Inc. and Mike and Sullivan try to settle their differences. It's really heartwarming to see.

* All of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLR6DiOQiyw "Drama Class"]] DeletedScene. Mike calls out on Sulley for studying a basic manual on scaring and offers to help him learn if he'd only ask. Sulley storms off, yelling angrily during an acting assignment, "I don't need help! I don't need anyone, alright?!". It soon becomes obvious that Sulley just isn't much of a book learner and struggles with just only few lines in the play. This causes some of the drama students to mock and insult him when he freezes up on opening night. Realizing this, Mike wrote all of Sulley's lines on his eyelid so Sulley could read off of him and then messed with the actors for making fun of Sulley. It's just a storyboarded scene, but seeing someone like Sulley getting picked on for once and Mike backing him up despite their tensions was pretty sweet.

** And the gentle smile she gives at this scene. Remember, the Dean does not smile throughout the whole film, only at this scene.

* Mike and Sulley's talk to each other by the lake. It may be a TearJerker, but when Sulley tells Mike that he feels he's an insult to his family's reputation, Mike asks him why he never told him that before, promoting him to reply that it was because they weren't friends before. It was that moment when Sulley fully accepted Mike as his friend.

* This [[spoiler: last]] line from Dean Hardscrabble, where even though she [[spoiler: keeps Mike and Sulley expelled]], wishes them good luck.
-->'''Dean Hardscrabble''': Oh, and Mr. Wazowski? [[spoiler: Keep surprising people.]]

* Mike and Sulley's [[spoiler: Group Hug with the Oozma Kappa fraternity Club near the end of the film.]] No words need to be said to describe that scene because it's just that heartwarming.
** The [[spoiler: Oozma Kappa fraternity Club Group Hug]] was fully drawn and coloured, as well as included in the children's illustration book of Monsters University.

* Mike and Sulley's [[spoiler:happiness at doing their jobs as they rise up the ranks of Monsters Inc. From Mail-room operators to Scare-team in the first film!]]

* ''Everything'' about Randall, before [[spoiler: he decides to join ROR]]. Mike cheering him up and assuring him that his invisibility is cool. The scenes with him quizzing Mike for the tests, and just how happy he is to be helping.
* Despite [[spoiler:never becoming a scarer himself,]] Mike still gets enough recognition for his later work in Monsters Inc. that he gets included in the Scare Cards, which have the only good, full image photo of his. Being a collector himself, and considering how happy Mike gets when his partial image appears in any important photo, you can imagine how much it means to him to have his full image in a Scare Card, right next to his best friend.

* The intro with Mikey as a child visiting MI on a school trip. Frank [=McCay=], one of the Scarers, actually stops to share some nice words with the class. [[spoiler: Mike then gets the idea of sneaking after Frank into a child's room while he does his job. He manages to be so still and quiet that Frank doesn't even notice him and is immediately impressed. So impressed, the he gives Mikey his MU baseball hat that Mikey cherishes for most of his life]].

** Also, doubles as both a FreezeFrameBonus and a CallBack, but [[spoiler: the way Mike scares the test dummy child in the last round of the Scare Games resembles how he saw Frank [=McCay=] back when he was little...erm...more little than he was, scare the child back at the beginning of the film.]]
** Along the lines of the above, [[spoiler: just before Mike performs his scare, he hears one of his classmates, Johnny Worthington, and Dean Hardscrabble telling him he doesn't belong. But the last thing he thinks of is Sulley coaching him the night before. Perhaps it's {{Foreshadowing}} their relationship as HeterosexualLifePartners.]]

* Don revealing [[spoiler: he and Sherry are getting married.]]
* Oozma Kappa going berserk [[spoiler: when they discover that Mike is stuck in the dangerous human world. And even after the revelation of Sulley's cheating, they still love and trust him unconditionally to help him rescue Mike.]]
** OK's willingness to stand up to Hardscrabble when she [[spoiler: shuts down the door to the human world while Mike and Sulley are trapped inside]]. Ineffective, but it shows how much they care about their teammates.

-->'''Hardscrabble:''' [[spoiler: Until the authorities arrive, this door stays ''off.'']]

** Sulley's reaction. His charging [[spoiler: through the door into the human world]] to rescue Mike somewhat resembles his rescuing Boo from Randall [[spoiler: and Waternoose's using the Scream Extractor on her.]]

* Sulley finally expressing his respect and understanding of just what makes Mike special: [[spoiler: "Mike, you're not scary. Not even a little. But you are ''fearless''." Doubly heartwarming when you realize that Mike settling for "It's ok to be ok," ''seems'' to be the film's message, only for Sulley to subvert this message and understand that it ''seems'' ok at first, but in truth, it's extraordinary.]]
* Mike's farewell to O.K. "you guys are the scariest out there, and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise." [[spoiler: Mike, as well as Sulley, have to live with the dishonor of their expulsion, but Mike was able to give O.K. their happy ending.]]

** In [[DVDBonusContent Bonus Features]] of Monster's Inc, the interviewer asked Sulley how he became Monster's Inc's top scarer, he replied that he didn't do it alone, as he has the world's best assistant: Mike Wazowski. [[spoiler: After seeing this]] we realize that Sulley wasn't simply being modest; he actually meant it.
** He cares that much for Mike that he does some last minute training on practical scaring with him, telling him to dig deep. It becomes a TearJerker when [[spoiler: he doesn't have the heart to tell him he doesn't have it and he considers cheating to spare Mike from the truth.]]
** It was foreshadowed previously [[spoiler: Sulley was willing to cheat in order to get himself in the Program. But by the time he becomes friends with Mike, Sulley does cheat but with a more benevolent intentions for both Oozma Kappa and Mike.]]

-->'''Sulley''': Thanks for the help.
-->'''Mike''': Anytime.

* The montage where Mike and Sully finally start to get into a groove, cooperating and working together, eventually waking up at 6 AM and getting ready in a symbiotic, almost choreographed routine. It just shows how well they've come to know and work with each other.

* Don Carlton's farewell to Mike and Sully, asking them to keep in touch and handing them his usual business card. On the card, Don had scribbled the word "Scarer" over his original occupation title.

* A subtle moment at the ROR party. Squishy does his little dorky dance and coax Sully to join him at the dance floor. Sully just stands by with a frustrated sullen expression, since he still considers it a disgrace to be part of O.K. But after many gestures from Squishy, Sully relents, grins, and joins Squishy on the dance floor, showing that he is warming up to his O.K. brothers.

** For that matter, the whose sequence with Mike's locker, where you see that, working from all the way at the bottom, Mike and Sully managed to make their own happy endi- ah, ''beginning'', actually!

* Even when the Dean forcefully asks Sully if he thinks Mike is scary, the first two times he adamantly responds, "We couldn't have gotten this far without him!" and "He's the heart and soul of the team!"
