Summary: DVD Quality is fantastic!
Review: I got an advance look at the 2-disc special edition of "Monsters, Inc." today. let me just start off by telling you about the movie on DVD.

The video quality is very very sharp due to the fact that it is taken from Pixar's original digital source. I watched the specially formatted Fullscreen presentation because my dad hates widescreen versions (when he's not around I watch them in widescreen) which looks pretty well done.
The sound quality is pretty good too. It is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX.

I don't want to review the 2nd disc until I have viewed all 207 minutes of it. Yes, I said 207 minutes. That is the time length that is said on the disc. I really recommend the movie and the DVD to all Disney DVD fans. You will also notice that Disney did not release the DVD. Its affiliate Buena Vista Home Entertainment released it. I don't know why, maybe its a manufacturing error or what, I do not know. Anyway, check out the DVD when it is released September 17th, 2002!

Summary: Something was missing.
Review: This movie had a few exciting parts, but it really wasn't all that great in the theater. Perhaps viewing it on DVD would have been a better choice. I wouldn't feel as if I wasted money...

Summary: A wonderful family movie & the best extras ever on DVD...
Review: The folks at Pixar have really outdone themselves with this joy-filled DVD package, which I was lucky to receive about a month before the official release.
If you have not yet seen the movie, have no fear, buy the DVD, do not rent. You will not regret it. Wildly imaginative, totally hilarious and yet filled with deeper meanings and fine acting, Monster's Inc. is first-rate family entertainment that rewards multiple viewings.
And like other Pixar pictures, Randy Newman's unique musical talent is a wonderful antidote to the schlock you will find in other companies' animated pictures.
As for the 2-disc DVD set, the bonus disc alone is worth the price of admission. Most DVD "deluxe" packages that I have seen to date have a haphazard collection of lame "making of" features, a few deleted scenes and previews. Not with Monsters Inc. This well-thought out disc is packed with fun games, entertaining documentaries on the movie and on the crazy people at Pixar, and the bonus "Mike's New Car" short among the hours of features on this disc. Instead of 90 minutes of movie, you are really getting four or five hours of real entertainment.

The director's commentary track is also a well-thought out addition to the disc, not just an annoying throwaway that you will find on other discs. My wife and I really enjoyed the story behind the story, and the fun that the Pixar folks had in making this movie is infectious.

I can't recommend this enough.

Enjoy!

Summary: 'S Wonderful!
Review: Pixar and Dreamworks score a perfect Ten! The advances in animation since "The Toy Story" are breathtaking. The villain, Randall, is so shudderingly slinky, I have to invent a new verb for him: he just "slimes" around!

The Monster World is generated by the power of children's screams when said Monster leaps out of the closet. However, there are problems: the latest generation of children don't seem to scream as much, and the Monster World is running low on power. All of this must be done without coming into physical contact with said children because they are toxic to the monsters.

Sully, the #1 power-maker, is just as lovable as only John Goodman can make him. His voice is so comforting; it should be declared a National Treasure. Mike, done to perfection by Billy Crystal, is Sully's fast talking, one-eyed sidekick. Little girl, Boo (voice done by a real little girl, Mary Gibbs) is a pocket-sized sweetheart who will make the toughest go "Awww--" My whole family were agonizingly stumped over the voice of the Yeti (Abominable Snowman--"who IS that guy? I KNOW that voice!") For other aurally challenged customers, John Ratzenberger is Cliff the Mailman in "Cheers." He carries off the big, dumb but friendly "I don't know my own strength" character with aplomb.

The package: Loaded with goodies. You have a choice of Widescreen or Pan and Scan. Has an original short of "Mike's New Car" (fairly funny) and a delightful Oscar Winning Animated Short Film, "For the Birds." There are a couple of very primitive games for the toddler set inexplicably (to me) overdubbed from Japanese. I loved going through the Monster Door that told you how the animation was done and discarded takes. My favorite was the "hard to do" stuff that explained how Sully's furry coat was made to move and blow and get snowed upon. No one could ever say they were shorted in the "extras" department. The sound and picture quality were excellent.

Summary: The Best Pixar Flick Yet!
Review: Monsters Inc. looked like a really good animation movie when the commerical's were playing and when it finally came out in the theatres I had to see it the day it came out.The theatre was packed and I was looking forward to the movie.

When the movie started I was very happy and by the time it was over I was sad.The movie was extremly entertaining and it was funyn and it was touching and it was all perfectly combined to make one hell of a movie.I loved it so much about a month later I saw it for a second time with the "outtakes" and "deleted scene"which was very funny.

The plot was simple like all G rated movies.Mike and Sculley are two monsters living in Monstropolis and work for Monsters Inc.Monsters Inc. is a company filled with the doors to kid's bedrooms where the monsters go when there sleeping,scare them,and then collect there screams so they could get power in the town.Scully is Monsters Inc's top scarer and his rival Randell(voiced by Ghost World's Steve Buscemi)wants to take Scully down and become top scarer.One night Randell decides to do some late night scaring without anybody knowing.Scully stays late to to do some of Mike's paperwork and discovers the door.Scully goes inside the door and the little girl behind the door ends up into Monstropolis by accendent.Since monsters are afriad of children Scully runs in fear and Randell is left wondering where the kid behind the door is.Now Scully and Mike have to keep the little girl(who Scully named Boo)a secret or all of Monstropois will be in a panic.

The movie has humor for children and adults alike and the DVD adds to the fun.The DVD is supposed to have a short created just for the videa called "Mike's New Car".So see Monster's Inc if you already have not.It's a great movie.
