Disney+ Announces Cast and New Image for Upcoming ‘Monsters at Work’ – Rotoscopers %
Disney has announced the voice cast of its highly anticipated series Monsters at Work along with images of our favorite monsters and some new faces. According to Animation Magazine, the upcoming animated show starts where the film Monsters Inc. left off.
Monsters At Work takes place the day after the Monsters, Incorporated power plant started harvesting the laughter of children to fuel the city of Monstropolis, thanks to Mike and Sulley’s discovery that laughter generates 10 times more energy than screams. It follows the story of Tylor Tuskmon, an eager young monster who graduated top of his class at Monsters University and always dreamed of becoming a Scarer until he lands a job at Monsters, Inc., and discovers that scaring is out and laughter is in. After Tylor is temporarily reassigned to the Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team (MIFT), he must work alongside a misfit bunch of mechanics while setting his sights on becoming a Jokester.

Sullivan, John Ratzenberger as Yeti, Jennifer Tilly as Celia Mae, Bonnie Hunt as Mrs. Flint, and Bob Peterson as Roze—the twin sister to Roz from Monsters Inc.

Disney Television Animation produces the animated series, which is also executive produced and developed by Bobs Gannaway (Planes: Fire & Rescue) with Sean Lurie (Inner Workings) as producer.
