Billy Crystal and John Goodman Lead an All-Star Voice Cast for Disney/Pixar's Upcoming Animated Feature, ``Monsters, Inc.''

RICHMOND, Calif.Billy Crystal and John Goodman lead a group of top vocal talents in adding frights and delights to Disney/Pixar's upcoming animated comedy-adventure, ``Monsters, Inc,'' it was announced today (8/10) by Thomas Schumacher, president of Walt Disney Feature Animation, and Steve Jobs, CEO of Pixar Animation Studios (Nasdaq:PIXR - news). The film, which is scheduled for a November 2001 release, also features the voices of James Coburn, Jennifer Tilly, Bonnie Hunt and newcomer Mary Gibbs. ``Monsters, Inc.'' is directed by Pete Docter, an Oscar nominee for his role in creating the original story for ``Toy Story,'' and co-directed by David Silverman, the Emmy Award-winning supervising director of ``The Simpsons.'' Darla Anderson (``A Bug's Life'') is the producer with John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton serving as executive producers.

Following the enormous international success of ``Toy Story,'' ``A Bug's Life'' and ``Toy Story 2,'' ``Monsters, Inc.'' is a comedy set in the realm of things that go bump in the night, where chaos breaks loose after a hapless monster accidentally lets a human child into the monster world.

``Monsters, Inc.'' is being created and produced by Pixar at its Northern California studios.

Monsters, Incorporated is the largest scare factory in the monster world and James P. Sullivan (John Goodman) is one of its top Scarers. Sullivan is a huge, intimidating monster with blue fur, large purple spots, and horns. His Scare Assistant, best friend and roommate is Mike Wzowski (Billy Crystal), a green, opinionated, feisty little one-eyed monster. The cast of characters also includes the factory's CEO, a crablike monster named Henry J. Waternoose (James Coburn) and the snake-headed, beguiling receptionist Celia (Jennifer Tilly). One of the top Scarers is a sarcastic chameleon monster named Randall Boggs (Steve Buscemi). Visiting from the human world is Boo (Mary Gibbs), a tiny girl who goes where no human has ever gone before.
