Monsters at Work?
Monsters at Work, we immediately encounter a familiar scenario for fans of
Monsters, Inc. Mike has paperwork he hasn’t filed. Mike is being handed paperwork to run by Roze, Roze’s sister, when Gary (who looks just like Mike, but he’s blue), wanders up. Gary is clearly a favorite of Roze’s, and gets out of filing his own paperwork when he says he’s been practicing for the Bowl-off-a-thon.
Later, Tylor and Val are sent up to repair a ball return machine at the Monsters, Incorporated bowling alley. While not working, Tylor reads a book about comedy. Both Val and Tylor are surprised to find Mike in the ball return, where he says he’s been stuck because he was trying to “be the ball.” He reveals that he’s too busy to participate in the Bowl-off-a-thon, despite his deep love of bowling. Gary emerges in the bowling alley and taunts Mike, who lies and says he’s sponsoring a team for the Bowl-off-a-thon.
