‘Monsters At Work’: Billy Crystal & John Goodman To Reprise ‘Monsters, Inc.’ Voice Roles On Disney+ Animated Series
Billy Crystal and John Goodman will reprise their roles as Mike and Sulley in Monsters At Work, the upcoming animated series set to premiere on the Disney streaming platform, Disney+, in 2020.
Produced by Disney Television Animation and inspired by the world of Disney and Pixar’s Oscar-winning Monsters, Inc., the series picks up six months after the original movie’s story, with the Monsters, Inc. power plant now 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.

Aisha Tyler (Archer) voices Tylor’s mom, Millie Tuskmon.
Produced by Disney Television Animation, the series was developed and is executive produced by Disney animation veteran Bobs Gannaway (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Planes: Fire & Rescue) with Ferrell Barron (Planes: Fire & Rescue) serving as producer. Kat Good (Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero) and Rob Gibbs (Monsters, Inc.) are directors.
