The whole thing is part of a promotion for the upcoming 'Monsters, Inc' prequel 'Monsters University,' released nationwide on June 21st. The new feature film will also debut with the new short 'The Blue Umbrella.'
“This summer, Disney Parks are bursting with a monstrous lineup of new thrills, shows and happenings,” said Kalogridis. “Guests can start Memorial Day Weekend with a 24-hour-marathon of memory-making as three Parks stay open all day and all night to celebrate the bi-coastal kick-off of a Monstrous Summer at Disney Parks.”
To announce the new 'Monstrous Summer' program Disney took EPCOT's iconic Spaceship Earth into a 180ft tall, fully animated Mike Wazowski.
