Two of four monsters remain in Minion Land. The Minions have been steadily defeating them.
Aerial photos of pyro mortars on the roof of Monsters Unchained. Pyro for the Celestial Goodnight show that is paired with similar display at The Wizarding World.
Some of the crane sightings possible in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. Cranes at construction of the Monsters Inc roller coaster.
The protocol droid assisting me in my passage through Star Wars Galaxy's Edge said the cranes in distance were the Jawas building an encampment. The droid explained further that it is called "Monsters-inc land. Or Monstropolis."
Current brick work at the theater in Monstropolis. All bricks to be painted soon in the style or theme of Monsters Inc.
