Monsters University is the prequel to Monsters Inc., a movie I sort of didn’t get. Apart from the endearing animation, I found the story somehow convoluted and generic at the same time. I would say the same of Monsters University, which finds Mike (voiced again by Billy Crystal) pursuing...
Lil Bub is a tiny tabby with deformed legs, extra toes, no teeth, buggy eyes, an overbite, and a perpetually protruding tongue. She is also an internet sensation. One look at Lil Bub, who, according to her owner, is just visiting from another planet, and your heart will simply...

There’s something about it that reduces otherwise intelligent, dignified characters into hysterical half-wits, but maybe that’s because it’s difficult creating comedy out of...
