Disney presents Monsters, Inc. in a lively, energetic Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX mix, crafted by Oscar-winning Gary Rydstrom and the team at George Lucas's Skywalker Sound. Happily, it's as lush, active, and vibrant as it was in the theaters. The dialogue is crystal clear, the sound effects are bold and epic without being overpowering, and Randy Newman's beautiful, hauntingly loving score comes across with harmonious perfection. The mix makes Monsters, Inc. an awesome aural experience. Disney has released the fur-tastic Pixar film 'Monsters, Inc.' to the UHD format. New specifications include 2160p/HDR encoded video resolution First, inside the Monsters Only menu, selecting the eye in the Monsters, Incorporated logo on the right of the screen opens a 71-second reel of animation tests and "dailies" that include some comical gags inserted by the animators.

The monsters, humans are toxic, and every precaution is taken to ensure monster safety. But when a human girl (voiced by Mary Gibbs) finds herself When you thought that a monster was behind your closet door waiting for the opportune moment to scare you, did you ever think about them? Monsters, Inc. takes us into their reality and explains that scaring us is nothing personal. It's just their job. Forget batteries or solar energy -- scares produce screams, and screams are used as energy to run the monster world. The problem is that there's a shortage of screams in Monstropolis because kids just don't scare like they used to. Even so, only the bravest monsters will do anything about it, because they're just as scared of us as we are of them! Children are toxic, and one touch could be life-threatening. So naturally, widespread panic ensues when a child finds her way through the other side of her door and right into the monster world. Also concerning early plans for the film are four "Banished Concepts", which are sort of like deleted scenes, presented in rough animation and accompanied by an introduction. There's also "Original Sulley Intro" (1:00), which shows the way Sulley would have been originally introduced to the audience (much of which found its way into the movie). Finally, there's "Storyboard to Film Comparison" (5:42), which offers a scene from the movie in three forms: original storyboards, final product, and a split-screen presentation of both.

My general feeling on DVD Easter eggs is that while the idea sounds nice on the surface, in practice, they needlessly complicate access to bonus features that are "hidden" for no real reason. Unless they are especially playful or frivolous, I'd rather have them listed up-front along with everything else. That's no exception for the several Easter Eggs found on the Monsters, Inc.: Collector's Edition DVD,Title #16, Chapters: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 . dramatically robust, the film certainly stands as one of the studio's best.

The last section behind this door is Orientation, which plays out a lot like it sounds and will probably be the most fun for children, assuming the interactivity required isn't too much to ask. First is "Welcome to Monsters, Inc." (0:58), the scare factory commercial that plays inside the movie. Naturally, it's nice to have this available as a stand-alone featurette and it works nicely as an introduction to this section. "Your First Day" (3:34) gives new employees an effective overview of the company and its facilities. It's followed by "History of the Monster World" (1:36), a sketch-animated short that gives a humorous account of monsterkind's history. result.
