The theater replacing Muppet*Vision 3D in Disney's Hollywood Studios has a new title: Welcome to Monstropolis! With Sulley & Mike.

The name appears on the Glob Theater model in Walt Disney Imagineering's D23 display. A giant eye sits above the marquee, while a banner from the Monstropolis Chamber of Commerce welcomes human visitors.

The Glob Theater welcomes humans with Sulley and Mike

WDW News Today first reported the full show title from the August 13 media preview. Disney's earlier Monstropolis announcement established that the former Muppets Courtyard theater would remain part of the new land, but did not name its replacement show.

The land's story casts humans as invited guests after Monstropolis shifted from scream power to laughter. Sulley and Mike now have the job of welcoming them into the city.

Monstropolis wildlife includes a splitting hare

The display also includes sculptures for the land's animal life. One squirrel has horns, fangs and three eyes. A pair of pigeons share a joined body, and a three-eared rabbit is labeled a “splitting hare.”

Those small figures widen the land beyond familiar film characters. Disney has not said exactly where each animal will appear when Monstropolis opens.
