A Movies Anywhere digital 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.

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 former houses fifteen unique and creative posters used to promote the film. The latter includes both theatrical trailers, the theatrical teaser, and four different TV spots. Disney DVDs almost never include the trailers for the films they carry these days, so it's delightful that Pixar's Collector's Edition DVDs make so many of them available to consumers.

Monsters, Inc.: Other Editions

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.

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,

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.

Disney presents Monsters, Inc. in a lively, energetic Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX mix, crafted by Oscar-winning Gary Rydstrom and the team at George Lucas's Skywalker Sound. Happily, it's as lush, active, and vibrant as it was in the theaters. The dialogue is crystal clear, the sound effects are bold and epic without being overpowering, and Randy Newman's beautiful, hauntingly loving score comes across with harmonious perfection. The mix makes Monsters, Inc. an awesome aural experience.
