Monsters Inc. [DVD] [2002]

Product Information

Everything is improved across the board. While not a transformative experience, the textural solidification and color improvements make this UHD well city. But there's a shortage of screams. Children have grown desensitized to scares and become less and less likely to be terrified by a monster. The The obligatory virtual game is "Peek-A-Boo: Boo's Door Game", an extremely easy but somewhat time-consuming activity. It involves searching various rooms for pieces of Boo's broken door, of which there are six in total. While simple, it is impressively rendered and in keeping with the content and spirit of the film, and therefore better than some others in its ilk. Next up, rounding up the kid-targeted, game-like features, is "Storytime." It tells the Monsters, Inc. story inside a highly interactive storybook, which can be explored manually or read aloud by a narrator. Music and Sound includes three featurettes. "Monster Song" (3:15) is a behind-the-scenes look at the Goodman-Crystal duet of Randy Newman's "If I Didn't Have You" with interviews from all three parties. "Sound Design" (4:13) is a conventional but adequate look at the sound effects and scoring devised for Monsters, Inc., covering both the technical and the creative. The last and most unusual is "Binaural Recording". It begins with an introduction that explains the meaning of binaural audio and its use in the movie. Viewers are then urged to view the rest of the material in this section with headphones plugged in, where John Goodman and Billy Crystal first have fun with left-ear/right-ear audio gags in an in-studio video. After that, one can compare three different mixes of a piece of film score: the final stereo mix, the binaural live stage recording of the orchestra at work, and the 5.1 "Special Surround Mix". The latter would be better with headphones off, but the others offer some neat exploration of cinematic sound production. 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,

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. To sweeten the already juicy deal, use of the DVD remote's angle button allows viewers to seamlessly toggle between the three. Textural gains within the 2160p resolution are not dramatic, but viewers will certainly note modest, but ultimately critical, adds to sharpness monsters, humans are toxic, and every precaution is taken to ensure monster safety.

The video doesn't necessarily enhance the Oscar-winning tune, as it's just film clips with audio excerpts that occasionally override the music, but the song itself earns approval. Perhaps the two most exciting features of this section: a poster gallery and a section devoted to trailers and TV spots. The former houses fifteen unique and creative posters used to promote the film. The latter includes both theatrical trailers, the theatrical teaser, and four different TV spots. Disney DVDs almost never include the trailers for the films they carry these days, so it's delightful that Pixar's Collector's Edition DVDs make so many of them available to consumers. dynamic color qualities that blend the teal and purple to terrific visual result.

The seventh chapter of the "Production Tour" inside Humans Only reveals a sub-menu of Easter eggs, hidden behind seven new doors. Selecting them reveals either a very short and fairly random video clip or a gallery of some sort. One is a repeat of the DVD credits and one is important enough to have made it to the main Animation menu (a test scene with dialogue audio), but the rest are fun and fancy free, exactly the kind of thing Easter eggs are meant for.

Colorful, charming, and visually and 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.

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.
