Monsters Inc. is another link in the chain of amazing films that PIXAR has produced. This is only comparable to the original run a Disney films (sleeping beauty, the jungle book until beauty and the beast).
Monsters, Inc.
The stars of this film are John Goodman and Billy Crystal as the monsters who work at Monster, Inc., the biggest scream processing plant in Monstropolis. When a girl named Boo wanders into their world, it’s the monsters who are scared silly. When Sulley and Mike think that she’s dangerous, they do their best to get Boo to her bedroom, but there are some monstrous hurdles along the way.
If I could say ANYTHING about this Blu-Ray set, it’s that you should just run out and buy it now!!!!!
The Blu-Ray remastering is great, the viewer can really see the texture in all of the animation and the 5.1 soundtrack is just as amazing. There are about 10 hours of special features. The commentary is light hearted and fun and not as technical as you would expect, and it sounds like they had fun making the film.
There are two shorts “Mikes New Can” and “For the Birds” which are a lot of fun. There is also an inside look at a new Monsters, Inc. theme park ride. And thats only the first disc of features.
The second disc contains a fun game for the kids so they can figure out what they would do at Monsters, Inc. There is a tour of PIXAR that was way toooo short(I needed to see more). They included a lot of deleted scenes, all of which I am glad were cut as they really wouldn’t have added much to the film (except to the length). Tons of features about building the production and the story and characters are also included. My favorite was Monster File, which was an inside look at how a monster thinks.
This has quickly become one of my favorite Blu-Ray sets. Anyone that has children or is a animation fan should purchase this immediately.
