Opinion | Sam Thielman: New Disney+ animated series 'Monsters at Work' doesn't live up to its 'Monsters, Inc.' legacy. - NBCNewsTHINK

July 9, 2021, 10:00 PM UTCDisney’s new animated streaming series, is an office comedy. There are so many beloved office comedies in the TV canon that even if all your protagonists are inventively designed monsters rendered in very expensive-looking computer-generated imagery, these characters have big shoes to fill — seven or eight of them, in some cases — and despite some great acting and a few good gags, the new series just doesn’t measure up.

The conflict at the beginning of “Monsters at Work” is the happy ending of “Monsters, Inc.”: The factory is in disarray after the big revelation at the end of the original film — that beloved CEO Henry J. Waternoose III was in fact hoarding energy to maintain his company’s monopoly and hiding the truth that scaring screams out of little kids was less effective energy extraction than making them giggle, which lights up the whole town.

The new series, which began streaming with its first two episodes Wednesday, follows Tylor Tuskman , a fresh-faced graduate at the top of his class at Monsters University who shows up eager to get to work as a Scarer of young children. But when he arrives, he’s informed that all his training and high marks are — as of the previous day — obsolete. Through some inadvertent bureaucratic kindness, he’s not fired, just remanded to the Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team .
