Monsters Inc. Blu-ray Review

One of the best monster movies and best animated movies makes its Blu-ray debut on November 10th when the Monsters, Inc. 4-Disc Combo Pack is released. This Disney Pixar film comes in a Blu-ray+DVD+Digital Copy from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.

Without question one of Pixar’s best and most critically and commercially successful productions of all time, Monsters Inc. was originally released in 2001.  Potentially a film that would scare away parents of children afraid of monsters, it actually offers quite the opposite opportunity.  This upbeat, visually stimulating and positive look into the secret world of animated monsters is a brilliant way to introduce yourself to the fact that monsters aren’t scary.

A secret society of monsters may actually be hiding behind the doors of your kids room.  Long thought to be make believe, monsters are very real in this G-rated family friendly classic.  Each monster character has its own unique identity and persona, which gives the film itself great character.  The voice talent is great with John Goodman, Bonnie Hunt and Billy Crystal leading the way.

A great movie is not the only thing you get in this amazing Monsters Inc. Blu-ray Combo Pack.  Along with the spectacular graphics made possible by Blu-ray, the pack comes with the following special features and bonuses:
