‘Monsters Inc.’ Looking Towards Next Chapter

If you ask Pixar why sequels to their movie gems are few and far between, they’ll tell you they only do sequels when they have a good story. They must have had a larger shipment. Joining Toy Story 3 and Cars 2 comes news of the sequel to the 2001 animated hit Monsters Inc.

Though news from Disney/Pixar is still in the realm of the unofficial, rumors are that they are close to booking Up director Pete Docter for the third chapter of monsters Mike (voiced by Billy Crystal) and Sully (voiced by John Goodman). Technically, the first sequel was the animated short, Mike’s New Car, which was included as a bonus feature on the Monsters Inc. DVD.

Jim Hill Media was approached by Disney about the project at the Licensing International Expo 2009 in Las Vegas.
