Monsters At Work From The Monsters Inc. Franchise Has Finally Announced Its Release Date!

Computer animated comedy film Monsters, Inc. first came out in 2001 and became one of Walt Disney’s biggest names. Directed by Pete Doctor, this feature film did amazingly well at the box office and even went on to get a sequel in 2013 titled Monsters University. The second film was directed by Dan Scanlon and did not just cash in on the first one’s success but went on to receive a positive response itself. Randy Newman worked on the score for both the films, and they starred voice actors such as Billy Crystal (When Harry Met DSally, 1989), John Goodman (The Big Lebowski, 1998), Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs, 1992) and John Ratzenberger (Toy Story, 1995).
