Hasbro recently announced plans to release several games based on the upcoming animated Disney films "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" (due in theaters in summer 2001) and "Monsters, Inc." (fall 2001).

"Atlantis" is a nonmusical action movie, while "Monsters, Inc." is another in the series of films from Disney's relationship with Pixas (the two Toy Story movies also were done by Pixar).
