11/08/09
OVERVIEW: This November, get ready for monster laughs and monster fun as
Disney•Pixar’s Academy Award® winning classic Monsters, Inc. roars to life as you’ve never seen or
heard it before on Disney Blu-ray Hi-Def! For the first time ever, this blockbuster hit will be presented in
the pristine manner the Pixar animation team always dreamed it would be – with scarily clear high
definition picture and monstrously good sound that’ll have audiences screaming with delight. This all new
Blu-ray also comes packed with exclusive new bonus features and a DisneyFile Digital Copy of the
movie.
Monsters, Inc. features revolutionary, eye-popping animation and inspired vocal performances by John
Goodman, as the lumbering and lovable Sulley, and Billy Crystal, as the wisecracking Mike Wazowski,
two monsters employed by Monsters, Inc., the biggest scream processing plant in Monstropolis. When a
little girl named Boo wanders into their world, it's the monsters who are scared silly. Thinking she is
dangerous and toxic, Sulley and Mike do their best to return Boo to her bedroom, but there are some
monstrous hurdles in their way. Also featuring the delightful voice talents of Bonnie Hunt, Frank Oz, John
Ratzenberger and Jennifer Tilly, Monsters, Inc. is frightfully fun entertainment families will want to enjoy
over and over in Blu-ray Hi-Def
BLU-RAY: The film is
presented in 1080P widescreen in a 1.85:1 aspect ration
preserving its theatrical format. The picture is just
flawless, bringing to perfection the colorful animation of
the film. World Disney Home Entertainment has done it again
with this transfer. Not only the picture looks great in this release,
also the sound it is good, a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio
(48kHz/24bit) that provides a good complement to the
picture.
