Pixar has finally released some information on the upcoming Monsters, Inc.  sequel.

As it turns out, the film is actually a prequel entitled Monsters University, according to Disney’s Dave Hollis.

“The film is a prequel that tells you a little bit about how Mike and Sulley first met, attending Monsters University,” Hollis unveiled at the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas. “Obviously everybody knows at this point Mike and Sulley are amazing friends-- the best of friends-- but as it turns out, in this story, that wasn’t always the case. From the moment they met at university, they could not stand each other.

“This story takes you through the ups and downs, and how they overcame their own differences.”

According to Empire and Entertainment Weekly, Billy Crystal and John Goodman will be returning to voice the main characters, and there is the possibility that Steve Buscemi’s character, Randall, will make a return appearance as well.

Turning back the clock allows Disney and Pixar to create introduce all new characters into the mix, also. And I can only hope they will find a way to let the audience know what has become of Boo and Monstropolis over the years.

There is no official release date yet, but expect Monsters University to be rolling into theaters towards the end of 2012.

Since Disney and Pixar have been a fan of sequels and prequels lately, maybe we will see a Finding Nemo 2 soon? Just sayin'.
