Reprising once again the beloved role of Mike Wazowski, Funnyman Billy Crystal landed in Toronto to promote eagerly-anticipated  Monsters University for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictues.  The Film set ten years prior to the events of Monsters, Inc., centers around the friendship between Mike and  James P. “Sulley” Sullivan (John Goodman) and how they went on to become elite Scarers.

The nine-time Academy Awards Host was up and at it early today with a visit to City‘s Breakfast Television, before speaking to a room full of Journalists at the Rooftop Lobby Peess Conference in his Hotel, moderated by Film Critic/Author Richard Crouse.  Appearances on eTalk, Entertainment Tonight Canada and CBC also were slated.  Watch Crystal‘s Breakfast Television appearance right here.

Crystal, who looks a young 65, was amazingly nice to stop for a couple round of Autographs, signing generously despite initially stating “One only each”, to a large group of Fans. Bringing my own little “Monster” along for the occasion, he was beyond nice to stop of a quick Snap with another popular Billy (of the Doggy variety).  “Now, I know you didn’t name your Dog after me!”, he tells me upon being introduced.

This definitely is something special. The final Trailer for Monsters University, the long-awaited Follow-up – make that Prequel – to 2001’s Monsters Inc., has arrived.  Here we get a close look at how the Friendship between Mike (Billy Crystal) and Sulley (John Goodman) developed and we even see them when they weren’t necessarily the best of Friends.  We also get a sense of their own roads to fulfilling their destinies as Scarers.

Just two months to go before School starts. Monsters University that, is! We all loved 2001’s Monster’s Inc. and this Prequel in the Franchise has long been overdue and at long last a Trailer has surfaced for the Animated Feature featuring the Voicework of John Goodman, Billy Crystal and Steve Buscemi.

Official Synopsis below:

Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) was a little Monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarer—and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike’s plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan or “Sulley” (voice of John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer.  The pair’s out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University’s elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.

John Goodman certainly is anything but short of work.  The Actor was in Toronto earlier today doing Press for Argo, directed by Ben Affleck.  Despite being notoriously difficult with Fans, he was kind enough to stop for a few Snaps earlier today on his way to the Press Conference for the Drama.  On his way out, he did a Queen-like gesture, waving goodbye to Fans.

Will Argo be Goodman‘s second Best Picture in a row?  He starred in last year’s Winner, The Artist.

Goodman currently is working on .
