A long list of Hollywood heavyweights has been announced as the voice cast for Disney/Pixars upcoming CGI feature MONSTERS, INC. The star-studded cast includes Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, James Coburn, Jennifer Tily, Bonnie Hunt and first-timer Mary Gibbs. The film chronicles what happens when a careless monster lets a human girl into the land of spooks and scares. Goodman will voice James P. Sullivan, a large, furry and horned employee of Monsters Inc. Voicing Sullivans sassy one-eyed sidekick will be Crystal. In her debut, Gibbs will provide the voice for the girl who stumbles into the freak factory. Coburn will be the crab-like factory CEO, Tily the snake-headed seductress and Buscemi, a sarcastic shaped-changing spook. Pete Docter (TOY STORY) and David Silverman (THE SIMPSONS) are co-directing the film, which is set to hit theatres in November 2001. So far the industry buzz on this film is only good
