    Disney+ Reveals First Look at Monsters, Inc. TV Spin-Off

    Disney has revealed a first look at Monsters at Work, the upcoming Disney+ animated show that will spin off Pixar’s Oscar-winning Monsters, Inc. into a new expanded series.

    Monsters At Work stars Ben Feldman as a brand new character in the Monsters world, Tylor Tuskmon. And, of course, Monstropolis wouldn’t be the same without the original Monsters, Inc. voices Billy Crystal and John Goodman returning as Mike and Sulley.

    The series picks up six months after the original movie’s story, with the Monsters, Inc. power plant now harvesting laughter (instead of screams) to fuel the city of Monstropolis. Tylor Tuskmon is an eager mechanic on the Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team (MIFT) who dreams of working his way up to the factory “Laugh Floor” to become a jokester alongside his idols Mike and Sulley.

    In addition to Mike and Sulley, other fan-favorite Monsters, Inc. characters will appear in the show as well! Including Celia, voiced by Jennifer Tilly, and Yeti, voiced by Pixar mainstay John Ratzenberger (who will also voice a new character, Bernard). Plus, Bob Peterson returns as Roz… as well as her twin sister Roze?!

    On top of these classic characters, there are tons of new characters as well! Joining the cast of the new animated series is Kelly Marie Tran as Val Little, Tylor’s lifelong friend and confidante; Henry Winkler as Fritz, the scatterbrained boss; Lucas Neff as Duncan, an opportunistic plumber; Alanna Ubach as Cutter, the rule follower; Stephen Stanton as Smitty and Needleman, the bumbling custodial team, and Aisha Tyler as Tylor’s mom Millie Tuskmon.

    The series is produced by Disney Television Animation, executive produced by Disney animation veteran Bobs Gannaway (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Planes: Fire & Rescue) with Ferrell Barron (Planes: Fire & Rescue) serving as producer.

    Disney+ launches in the U.S. on November 12, 2019.

    2319 Day is Finally Here and ‘Monsters, Inc.’ Fans Are Celebrating

    Today may be Super Bowl Sunday, but it’s also a big day for Pixar’s 2001 hit Monsters Inc. Since it’s Feb. 3, 2019, fans of the Pixar’s 2001 hit film have been having fun with the date today and are calling it “2319 Day.”

    A 2319 is a company or factory code in the Monsters Inc. world. When an employee is contaminated with a foreign object of a human child, a 2319 goes into effect and alerts the Child Detection Agency (CDA). The CDA removes and destroys the foreign object and decontaminate the employee.

    The Monsters INC Facebook page even made an announcement to employees as you can see in the post below:

    “Attention all employees: You may notice your calendar is warning of a 231 9 in progress — DO NOT BE ALARMED. The CDA has confirmed that this is just today’s date and not a child loose in the facility,” the post read.

    Enjoy 2319 day! It only comes once every one hundred years.
