Don’t freak out, but Monsters, Inc. is 20 years old as of 2021. Its prequel Monsters University is only seven years old but still, wow. 20 years since the world fell in love with a little green eyeball with legs, a giant hairy blue guy with spots, and the weird, wild world hiding behind our childhood closets. Now, the monsters are back for an all new Disney+ series about life on the Laugh Floor.
The first Monsters At Work trailer establishes the premise as a direct sequel to the first movie, with Monsters, Inc. converting from a scare factory to a laugh factory. In an almost too-real plotline, a new monster named Tyler Tuskman shows up from scare school and is told his degree is completely useless. He’s reassigned to the facilities team, with a new squad of monsters working under dual CEOs Mike and Sully.
Monsters At Work premieres on Disney+ July 7.
