Jack and Jill are supporting characters in the Disney/Pixar animated series, Monsters at Work.
Background[]
Personalities[]
Jack and Jill are a quick talking, witty pair. Between the two of them, Jack tends to be more optimistic and open-minded, while Jill is more cynical and resorts to strawman tactics. While the two get along relatively well, they are not above quickly devolving into bickering like typical siblings, especially since they are connected to one another. Jill tends to be slightly more boastful than Jack, who is always relaxing with a cup of coffee. However, they both share a positive moralistic common ground as they empathized over the fact that Henry J. Waternoose III's plan to kidnap children to extract their screams was wrong and cruel, with Jack stating, "We may be monsters, but we're not monsters".
Physical appearances[]
Jack and Jill are a two-headed, reddish-pink, centipede like monster. Both Jack and Jill themselves have a single eye with Jack's being blue and Jill's being green. Jack is short and stout, wears a suit and tie, has big blue hair, a mustache, and a tiny horn on the left side of his head. Jill is tall and thin, wears a dark pink dress, white pearls, single frame glasses, long blond hair, and a long horn on the right side of her head.
Role in the series[]
Jack and Jill first appear in the episode "A Monstrous Homecoming" where they are the first, or rather Jill is, to question Monsters, Inc.'s newfound laugh power. They later return in "Setting the Table" where Jill lowballs Sulley by making his responses look bad, while Jack attempts to give him time to speak.
Trivia[]
- They're the second pair of conjoined twins in the Monsters, Inc. universe after Terri and Terry Perry.
- Jack and Jill are clearly meant to be a parody of the "Point/Counterpoint" segment from 60 Minutes.
- They are also a reference to the popular nursery rhyme of the same name.
