Monsters, Inc. [VHS] [2002]

Love it

I have been watching this for years all through my son growing up and he is now 21 but I still can’t help myself but to keep watching

A classic for all ages

Without a doubt one of Pixar’s all time greats. Picture quality was excellent, last time I’d seen the film was when I was about 7 on our family VHS player. Played in high definition Blu-Ray on my PlayStation 4 and Samsung T.V everything looked gorgeous, plus the sound quality was really top notch.The missing star in my review simply comes from the box the film came in. Slight dent in the top right corner, unfortunate. Also the box didn’t come in the sleeve as I had assumed the photo showed. Regrettable but hardly a major catastrophe.Overall a wonderful childhood experience relived with a slight diminishment upon inspection of the box.

Funny easy watch

Perfect my little girl loved this.

Kids loved watching this

Grandson loves it

Adult or kids, everyone will fall in love with that movie and the main characters, specially Mick. Again the script is well written and it will touch you. emotionally. Need to see.

Just a little more than two months ago I sat down at my keyboard and wrotea review on Disney's Blu-ray release of Finding Nemo. I was filled with excitement,as I raved about the remarkable job the animation team did with the film's 3Dtranslation. When all was said and done, I placed Finding Nemo at the top of thelist as the best animated upconversion that I had seen to date.Now, I sit here again, filled with the same exhilaration, having just watchedthe newly released 3D Blu-ray of Monsters, Inc. which I can completely assureyou benefits greatly by its new dimensionality added in post production.The success of Pixar's 2001 release rests mostly on the charm of its voicetalents. The pairing of Billy Crystal (Wazowski) and John Goodman (Sulley)provide some of the best comedic performances found in any Pixar film todate. For those of you who still may not be familiar with the story, it concerns apair of specially-trained monsters WHO work 9 to 5 at the largest scream-processingfactory in Monstropolis. As they sneak into bedrooms, the screams of frightenedchildren are collected and used to power the Metropolis. Believed by Monstersto be toxic, children are strictly forbidden from entering their world. As you wouldexpect, that is exactly what happens as a little girl named Boo (Mary Gibbs)enters the factory, creating complete chaos. As Sulley and Wazowski try toreturn Boo, they uncover a dangerous plot about to be set off by a multi-leggedchameleon-like lizard named Randall Boggs (Steve Buscemi), that could bedeadly to them all.Monsters Inc. translates flawlessly to 3D Blu-ray, which amazes me becauseoften you'll hear skeptics talk about how wearing format eyewear diminishesoverall picture quality. Through my active shutter glasses, I was astonishedto find no such degradation. In fact, what I saw before me was strikingly perfectimagery with its palette of rich colors and vast amount of textures that are reallypleasing to the eyes. There's just a wonderful array of vivid, neon-rainbow colorsto behold here. Black levels are fantastic. Even more astonishing is the levelof detail that only Blu-ray could provide. You can see every strand of furacross Sully's Monstrous body, and with the added depth that 3D provides, itappears to be more realistically soft and natural. This is another one of thosetransfers that turns your display into a picture window where everything seemsso perfect inside that you could almost reach in and touch it. In a word, it'sbreathtaking.The 3D itself is quite excellent, opening this film up to an entirely new viewingexperience thanks to a noticeable amount of depth that makes each scenelook limitless in size. While there are no blatant gimmicks it's very cool to seejust how many body...err...monster parts protrude outwards. Take notice howRandall Bogg's slinky lizard head pokes itself outside the boundaries of the display.Check out the snakes in Celia's hairdo as they move in and out of the spacebetween film and viewer. I even enjoyed the opening title sequence with its many doorsthat jettison outward when opened. And speaking of which....the most thrilling 3Deffects can be seen during the door vault sequence. If you have a subwoofer andturn the sound up loud, you almost feel as if you are on a roller coaster ride as doorsrace down a conveyor belt. The pure depth that is portrayed as you look to the bottomof the vault is immensely impressive. I also loved the overhead shots of the CDAswat team and all its helicopters converging on the city. This is the kind of perspectiveyou just cannot replicate in 2D.And up to this point you haven't heard me complain about crosstalk. Well, that's becausethere is absolutely no ghosting to be found here. That's a real thumbs up for this transfer.While the 3D is impressive enough, nothing can prepare you for the explosive DolbyTrueHD 7.1 soundtrack (downconverted to 5.1 on my system). I don't think I could writeanything about the acoustic experience and do it justice. Let me just say that I haverarely been so sonically immersed in a film as I was here. There is such an unbelievablelevel of effect placement and panning that are perfectly executed as if without any effortattached. At any moment, you could expect sounds to emanate from different cornersof the room. At times, I heard helicopters encircling my head. Other times it was thescreams of frightened children. Every stomp, thump, drop, crash and pounce in thisfilm is heavily accented by powerful LFE that can be felt as well as heard. I talkedabout how great the door vault sequence looks in 3D. Just wait until you crank yoursystem high and find yourself in the middle of the action as you feel the floor vibratebeneath your seat cushion. Make no mistake about it -- this is reference quality audiothat will be the subject of conversation with your friends long after the credits roll....and when you are done assaulting your senses with Monsters, Inc., don't forgetto take a look at the included short, Partysaurus Rex. It stars the lovable Rexdinosaur of Toy Story fame as he throws a party for discarded bathtub toys. Ifound it a highly entertaining short, mostly thanks to its effective use of 3D, brilliantneon colors and pumping techno track. Very worthwhile addition to this package.The Ultimate Collector's Edition of Monsters, Inc. arrives as a 5-disc set. Thereare single 2D and 3D feature film discs, a bonus Blu-ray disc with a wealth of extrafeatures, and separate DVD and Digital Copy Feature discs. The Blu-ray case issleeved with clever lenticular packaging that gives the effect of Wazowski and Sullyopening a bedroom closet door.I continue to praise Disney for their efforts in bringing new life to their existing librarywith 3D upconversions that are extremely well done. Monsters, Inc. looks more expansiveand feels more impactful and emotional than ever before thanks to the amount of depthand realism this format is able to provide. If one could afford it, I would recommendenthusiasts purchase every single 3D animated feature Disney has released to date.However, if you could only afford to buy two, I would place Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc.at the top of the list (in that order).

Very good movie. I always wonder from where Disney gets all these ideas. Whoever at Disney gets these ideas are awesome. Even more awesome is Disney being able to make it an enjoyable movie out of every unique thoughts that are presented to them.My son and I enjoyed this movie 100%. Will recommend this movie to all kids and adults!

Mittlerweile habe ich mir den Film auf Blue Ray gekauft. Ich habe den denke ich sicher schon 20 Mal gesehen, ich hätte mich echt über einen Nachfolger gefreut. Ob der Film was für Kinder ist, die zb. Angst im Dunkeln haben, oder recht leicht schreckbar sind, Angst alleine haben, das wage ich zu bezweifeln, das müssen die Eltern für sich entscheiden. Animationstechnisch und von der Unterhaltung her einer der besten Disney Filme die ich kenne.

Le meilleur film d’animation des studios Pixar !Si vous ou vos enfants adorez les aventures des p’tits monstres Bob et Sully à Monstropolis un conseil, offrez-vous ce Blu-ray ! Personnellement je l’adore à la folie. 😀✅ Cette version comporte un Blu-ray avec le dessin animé + les bonus à se tordre de rire avec la maman de Bob. 😂✅ Le disque est très joli et comporte la même photo que la boite.✅ La langue est bien en Français, en DTS-HD HR 5.1, ce qui offre une qualité de voix excellente.Les graphismes sont incroyables sur une télévision 4k HDR !Une histoire pleine d’humour, d’émotions et de bienveillance à regarder seul ou en famille ! 😍Je l’ai reçu le lendemain grâce à Amazon Prime.
