Monsters, Inc. makes its UHD debut with a 2160p/HDR UHD presentation. This is a fairly basic UHD upgrade, presenting an compared to the Blu-ray, which offers the same materials looking flat and smooth by comparison. Sulley's fur enjoys sharper strands, and the barrage 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. 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. But when a human girl (voiced by Mary Gibbs) finds herself

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. current leader is a monster named Sulley (voiced by John Goodman), but hot on his trail is Randall Boggs (voiced by Steve Buscemi) and several The next section, Behind the Screams, begins by offering the outtakes reel that was already available on Disc 2's main menu. Of course, the bulk of the bonus features are reserved for the second platter. Navigating through the labyrinth of Disc 2 menus is not an easy task (more on this later), but once achieved, there's a lot to discover. The main menu screen presents two doors, one marked "Humans Only" (material for the film enthusiast) and the other labeled "Monsters Only" (material for younger viewers). Entering either provides access to an abundance of bonus material but before doing so, there are three features accessible directly from the main menu. WALL•E (3-Disc Special Edition) • Up (Blu-ray & Deluxe DVD Combo) • Toy Story & Toy Story 2: The Ultimate Toy BoxFirst, 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. they are accompanied by very informative commentary by Thomas Porter, Steve May, and Michael Fong. "Opening Title Animation" (2:06) discusses the idea for and creation of the film's very jazzy opening credits sequence. "Hard Parts" explains the methods used to achieve the most difficult (and most impressive) animated portions of the movie, like the door station and Sulley's hair. "Shots Department" (2:12) similarly delves into the creation of some of the more difficult shots and character movements. 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.

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. Pete's Dragon • Halloweentown & Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge • The Nightmare Before Christmas • The Princess Bride 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, seemingly not present in the original 2-D Blu-ray; the link above points to the 3-D set.

Screams are captured and transformed into energy to power the monsters' solidified low end depth and beefier detail but offering good essential clarity and naturally immersive spacing to what's there.
