Paula Hammond - Features EditorDisney Gets It Pitch Perfect With An All-New Monsters Inc. TV series.
From the jazzy opening credits, to the feel-good vibe, from all of our favourite characters, to new-ones we’re destined to love… Monsters At Work is a loving tribute to a franchise that may be 21-years-old, but still feels fresh and fun.
Taking place the day after the Monsters Incorporated power-plant started harvesting the laughter of children to fuel the city of Monstropolis, Monsters At Work follows the story of Tylor Tuskmon (Ben Feldman). Appointed to his dream job by the now disgraced Waternoose (James Coburn), Tuskman arrives to discover that scaring is out and laughter is in. Now 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.
Monsters At Work will premier on Disney+ on July 7th, with ten weekly episodes planned. Billy Crystal and John Goodman reprise their roles as Mike and Sulley, with Henry Winkler (Fritz), Lucas Neff (Duncan), Alanna Ubach (Cutter) and Bonnie Hunt (Ms Flint) joining the line-up.
