The Hollywood Reporter has the answer:The sequel to Disney/Pixar's Monsters Inc. has a title: Monsters University.
Disney revealed the moniker at its presentation at CinemaCon Tuesday.
Monsters Inc. was one or Pixar's early hits, released in 2001 as the company's fourth movie. Pete Docter and David Silverman co-directed the pic, which featured voicework from John Goodman and Billy Crystal as fright engineers Sully and Mike Wazowski. The movie scared up $525 million worldwide.
Sully/Goodman and Wazowski/Crystal are expected to be back as will monster bad guy Randall Boggs (voices by Steve Buscemi). Disney has scheduled the sequel for a 2012 release.
The premise for the new movie is under lock and key although Disney said it will be a prequel.
-Joey's Two Cents: Looks like we're getting this and Brave in the same year, which is good news to me...thoughts?
I need to revisit Monsters Inc.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty excited myself.
ReplyDeleteYup yup
ReplyDeleteI am not really looking forward to this. Really, University, really? Is that the best that they can come up with? I think Pixar is falling prey to what they were fighting with Dinsey in the first place, sequels and prequels. I am in love with Brave, but unless they come up with an amazing trailer I am probably going to ignore this.
ReplyDeleteJust keep in mind that Toy Story 3 didn't appear to have the strongest story this far out, and it wound up being one of the best things Pixar has done.
