Billy Crystal Talks Monsters University!

Monsters, Inc. 2 (Monsters University) News

The Los Angeles Times recently spoke with Billy Crystal about his voice work as Mike Wazowski in Monsters University.

Almost 10 years have passed since Crystal first took the mic as the walking, green eye ball. In the upcoming prequel, we learn that Mike and his hulking blue friend weren’t always best pals.

Behind the scenes, however, Crystal and John Goodman (voice of Sulley) are getting along fantastically. "We’re having a blast together… It’s a really great script, it’s really funny," says Crystal of Pixar’s first prequel.

Set in the monster’s college years, Billy Crystal wasn’t able to provide many new details about the film. He was able to let slip that "Mike has a retainer." Crystal also added that "Monsters University ends where [Monsters, Inc.] starts." I wonder if he meant that literally…

Directed by Dan Scanlon, Monsters University opens June 21, 2013.
