The beginning of the teaser trailer makes a nod to both Monsters, Inc.'s teaser trailer and the film's opening scene, using similar shot techniques and narration.

Monsters University is the untold story of how Mike and Sulley became best friends and tried to become the best scarers in Monstropolis. The return to Pixar ensured that the film could tap all of the original voice actors, most notably Billy Crystal, John Goodman, and Steve Buscemi. And by now, the Pixar films were prominent and prestigious enough to attract stars such as Helen Mirren, Nathan Fillion, and Alfred Molina to play new characters (respectively) Dean Abigail Hardscrabble, Johnny J. Worthington, and Professor Derek Knight. Aubrey Plaza voiced Claire Wheeler, a monster with a suspicious resemblance to Aubrey Plaza, and other actors came in to voice or cameo minor roles—including now reliable Pixar stalwart John Ratzenberger, playing a mail room employee in a nod to his role on Cheers.

When Mike and Randy become roomies, on Mike's desk there is a spiked and double-headed Luxo lamp to the top left. To write and direct the film, Pixar tapped Dan Scanlon, who had worked as a story artist on Cars 2 and as part of the creative team on Brave. Prior to that, Scanlon had also worked on a number of the more questionable Disney direct-to-video sequel films, including Tarzan 2, 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch’s London Adventure, and Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea, which if not exactly portents of high creativity and talent, at least demonstrated that he had some experience working to create sequels to popular Disney properties that were at least good enough to keep small children quiet for one or two minutes. (And in Scanlon’s defense, he was not involved with many of the worst of those direct-to-video sequels.)
