Pixar's 2001 film Monsters Inc - about monsters who scare kids for a living - is to have a sequel, the Disney studio has announced.

The animated follow-up will be released on 16 November 2012, Disney chairman Rich Ross revealed.

Another Pixar film, The Bear and the Bow, is to renamed Brave and have its release put back from December 2011 to 15 June 2012.

Disney is also to make a new Muppets movie, Ross confirmed on Thursday.

The film, to be directed by Flight of the Conchords creator James Bobin, will introduce a new puppet character called Walter.

Featuring the voices of Billy Crystal and John Goodman, Monsters Inc made more than $525m (£342m) worldwide.

It is not known if its director Pete Doctor - who went on to make the Oscar-winning Up - will direct its sequel.

Featuring the voices of Reese Witherspoon and Billy Connolly, Brave tells of a Scottish princess who dreams of being an archer.

Set in 18th Century Scotland, Brenda Chapman's movie is the first Pixar feature to be directed by a woman.

Other future projects from Disney-Pixar include a retelling of the Winnie the Pooh story using hand-drawn animation and Frankenweenie, a stop-motion cartoon based on a story by Tim Burton.

Pixar release Toy Story 3 this summer, with a Cars sequel due in cinemas next year.

Pixar should be careful, one of the best things about them is that they only usually do one film and that's it. I hope they don't rely on sequels from now on.

I was always a bit meh with Monsters Inc.

What with all the sequels, Pixar? Don't get me wrong, I'm buzzing for Toy Story 3, and a Monsters Inc sequel does arouse my interest just because the original was so brilliant, but I hope it doesn't become a regular thing. The Cars sequel doesn't interest me at all, nor would a WALL.E, Up or Ratatouille sequel to be honest. I could probably get on board with a Finding Nemo sequel though (not that I think it should happen). If anything I'm surprised that they haven't gone with an Incredibles sequel, as the ongoing story would have worked in its favour. Most of the other films stand alone perfectly.

I agree, I remember hearing whispers about a second incredibles but they missed a beat by not doing it I think. The others don't really need sequels.

I do agree that the Incredibles is the one that's screaming out for a sequel. Very classy little flick.

I love this film, and Boo was so cute.
I hope they bring her back, although she'll probably be like a teenager now right?

Well they are making sequels of Monsters Inc, Toy Story, Cars movies of which alot of us never thought we would see sequels to since they have been out a while.

So anything is possible.

I bet they do Nemo or somthing aswell.
