Disney/Pixar has revealed that the 2012 sequel formerly known as Monsters, Inc. 2 will be officially titled Monsters University. No word yet on whether or not Billy Crystal and John Goodman have signed on to reprise their roles, but it is expected they will be back.
The sequel is rumored to be a prequel that follows Mike and Sulley’s days at the University of Fear when they were enemies, before they became the best of friends. This certainly ties in with the new title.

Charlie Rose sits down with Bob Iger, President and CEO of the Walt Disney Company to discuss all things Disney, including Pixar and Marvel and what their plans are to bring Disney fully into the digital age.
