On the UHD, tones are deepened but After I've gone to bed at night, there's a brief period of time between being fully awake and completely losing myself to sleep. It's been this way as long as I can remember, and I think about lots of things as I try to make myself rest. 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, The Animation section is loaded with video featurettes. The first is "Animation Process" (3:11) which, as the name implies, details the process of creating a CGI-animated feature film. "Early Tests" (8:02) shows some of the first scenes animated to explore the possibilities for the movie and as there's no audio,Disney will add seven new titles to its 4K Blu-ray catalog in March 2020. They are: WALL-E (2008), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Beauty and the Beast (2017), Up (2009), A Bug's Life (1998), Monsters, Inc. (2001), and Monsters University (2013). Everything is improved across the board. While not a transformative experience, the textural solidification and color improvements make this UHD well Monsters, Inc. might not be the first choice when debating Pixar's best film, but it's up there. Colorful, charming, and visually and Writers: Andrew Stanton , Daniel Gerson , Pete Docter , Jill Culton , Jeff Pidgeon , Ralph Eggleston The next section, Behind the Screams, begins by offering the outtakes reel that was already available on Disc 2's main menu.

It turns out there's a reason monsters haunt children's closets, and it's not to devour them. Instead, monsters wish to harvest their vocal energy. dynamic color qualities that blend the teal and purple to terrific visual result. Mike's green body finds added color depth and nuance, a deeper, more din inside the Monsters, Inc. headquarters. Ringing phones, chatty employees, and the like pleasantly fill the stage to impressive result, with plenty ofno shortage of spectacular colors to enjoy for the duration, each of them beefed up with more vitality, clarity, and accuracy compared to the Blu-ray. The Humans Only door opens to a far fuller and more substantive platter. Inside it, there are seven more doors which can be opened. They are: Pixar, Story, Monster File, Design, Animation, Music & Sound, and Release. The Humans Only menu also presents a "Production Tour" (20:00), which strings together the lead video featurette (i.e. the most production-centric ones) from each of the first five doors into one featurette. It's a worthwhile inclusion for those looking to merely skim through Disc 2, but it also likely confuses people who find themselves re-watching the same material inside each of the doors. Those who plan on watching everything are better served by viewing the components individually.

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. Starring: John Goodman , Billy Crystal , Mary Gibbs , Steve Buscemi , James Coburn , Jennifer TillyProbably the coolest feature inside Design, though, is "Location Flyarounds", which presents a digitally rendered tour of five different sets from the movie: Downtown, The Apartment, Monsters Inc., Simulator, and Boo's Room. These invite viewers to explore the world of Monstropolis without all the distractions of plot and characters, though there are a few surprises. The environments created for the film are all the more impressive after experience these "flyarounds". 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. monsters, humans are toxic, and every precaution is taken to ensure monster safety. But when a human girl (voiced by Mary Gibbs) finds herself Finally, there's a music video (1:13) for the Goodman/Crystal-sung "If I Didn't Have You," a pleasant number that captures the protagonists' friendship. 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.
