The trailer also featuresBilly CrystalandJohn Goodman, reprising theirMonsters, Inc.roles of Mike Wazowski and James “Sulley” Sullivan. They’re put in charge byBob Peterson’s Roze — not to be confused with his gravelly-voiced Roz from the original film. Will they be up to the challenge of shifting their company’s entire philosophy? At least their experiences at Monsters University have prepared them for turning a group of hapless misfits into a well-oiled machine.
Many of their fellowMonsters, Inc.cast members are also returning, includingBonnie Huntas Mrs. Flint,John Ratzenbergeras Yeti,Jennifer Tillyas Celia, andStephen Stantonas Smitty and Needleman. They’re joined byAisha Tyleras Tylor’s mom, Millie.
Originally slated for release in 2020, the series was delayed due to the pandemic, asCrystal told us back in January.In spite of the revised production schedule, Crystal remained enthusiastic about the project, gushing, “It’s fantastic looking, it’s hilarious, and we’re having a. Lot of fun doing it.”
Monsters at Workpremieres on Disney+ on July 2. Check out the synopsis for the series below.
“Monsters At Work takes place the day after the Monsters, Incorporated power plant started harvesting the laughter of children to fuel the city of Monstropolis, thanks to Mike and Sulley’s discovery that laughter generates ten times more energy than screams. It follows the story of Tylor Tuskmon, an eager young monster who graduated top of his class at Monsters University and always dreamed of becoming a Scarer until he lands a job at Monsters, Incorporated, and discovers that scaring is out and laughter is in. After Tylor is temporarily reassigned to the Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team (MIFT), he must work alongside a misfit bunch of mechanics while setting his sights on becoming a Jokester.”
