Monsters University

Monsters University (3D) Note: Above Rating is for Packing and Content Quality, not for Movie. My Rating for Movie : 4/5=========================================================Very good movie but to be honest not upto my expectations. First movie released more than a decade ago is much better. Monsters University is a prequel to earlier one. So you don't have to watch the "Monsters (2001)" movie to enjoy this one but I seriously recommend anyone to watch earlier one also. You will enjoy the overload cuteness and adorable "Boo" character in earlier one.Now coming to this Blu-ray 3D ... It's wonderful 3D depth and perfect 7.1 track to keep you amazed.Now lets see the most important and main thing you would like to know before you buy this disc pack,that is Disc information.=================================================================Disc Packing info:No Slip cover(atleast to me) but good thing is it comes with 2 Blu-ray discs.Blu-ray 3D and 2D Disc. 2D disc comes with good extras.

UPDATE 11/4/13: Blu-ray details review.QUALITY: Unsurprisingly, the video quality is stunning. Little else needs to be said about the transfer. It's flawless.EXTRAS: There are a TON of extras!If you like the behind-the-scenes process of filmmaking, the extras here are about as extensive as I've seen before. Not only do the shorts give a background of life on Pixar's campus (Campus Life), but plenty of dedication to each aspect of making the film. Of course, there's also some deleted scenes.What's nice about the scenes is that director Dan Scalon talks you through the scene in detail and why it was cut. They are of course unfinished, but still interesting to see what could have been part of the movie.If I have one complaint, it's the layout of the bonus features menu. Despite the features being on a blu-ray disc, the menu does not operate like a blu-ray menu. Typically, you're able to operate within the menu while the movie (or features) are playing on screen. Instead, you need to return to the menu screen to select the next option. It's a small caveat, but there we go.SPOILERS BELOW. DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FILM.If you don't care about the end being discussed, then by all means read on...My wife and I saw Monsters University and both loved it. Many of the Top Critics on Rotten Tomatoes however, seemed to miss the point of the film entirely."This is a safe, predictable, edge-free, nearly bland effort from a studio that rarely hedges its bets." - Richard Roeper"[It] conforms to [Pixar's] apparent drift toward the average, with toy sales taking priority over originality." - Liam Lacey"Monsters University is cute, and funny, and the animation, though not exactly inspired, is certainly colorful." - Steven Rae"Mostly memorable for being fine but forgettable." - Betsy SharkeySince 1995, Pixar has dominated computer animated filmmaking. They constantly win Academy Awards (9 nominations, 7 wins for Best Animated Feature) and are universally praised for their efforts by the critics. Nearly each Pixar movie has a handful of lessons or dominant themes it tries to teach and tell. The Toy Story Trilogy (friendship, getting older) A Bug's Life (self-esteem, ingenuity, teamwork) Monster Inc (greed, pride) Finding Nemo (father-son relationship, growing up, letting go) The Incredibles (family values, honor) *Cars and Cars 2 (I'm pretty sure these are just about marketing toys) Ratatouille (friendship, trust, confidence) WALL-E (consumerism, environmentalism) Up (love, living life in the moment) Brave (family values, respect, love, mother-daughter relationship).However, after seeing MU and reading the critical reviews, I was shocked how many reviewers missed the point of the film and the important lessons Pixar chose to address in the film. You could even make the argument that the lessons in MU are more bold than any previous Pixar film. Which leads to why MU is ultimately about failure and why that's okay.Obviously, as this is a movie about college, there are your typical and inherent lessons for the characters (finding your place, growing up, building friendships), but the most important and surprising lesson is watching Mike Wazowski fail. This lesson is a particularly unique and groundbreaking approach for the age groups in Generation Y (Millennial) and Z. Generational scholar and author Ron Alsop argued that the Millennial generation is a group of "trophy kids", who were given rewards just for participating. I'm a Millennial and like many of my friends growing up, we all received gold stars on our homework, ribbons for events, etc. constantly rewarding us for just doing our job. You could also argue we've been constantly told that we could achieve anything we want if we just worked hard. We were told there was no way we could fail. This is the definitive issue that MU tackles head-on.From the age of little monster, Mike is enthralled with the career of being a scarer - the job that every monster dreams of. It's for the cream of the crop. Mike is told continually as a small monster that he's too small and not scary enough to succeed. It's only after he sneaks into a live door on the Monsters, Inc. scare floor that people believe he's capable of great things. He uses that moment to work hard and get into Monsters University to study at the School of Scaring.The main plot is the competitive nature between the hard-working Mike and the famous-last-name Sullivan. Their antagonistic rivalry drives the story until they are forced to work together to get back into the School of Scaring. Like all feel good movies, Mike and Sullivan ultimately save the day, win the Scare Games and are cheered and admired amongst everyone at the school. They defeat the oppressive Dean and defy expectations, the day is theirs! But it's right that that the writers (Robert L. Baird, Daniel Gerson, Dan Scanlon) drastically changes things.Sullivan admits to cheating to help his team of lovable losers win and save face for Mike who he believes isn't scary. When Mike finds out, he breaks into the door testing laboratory to prove to himself that he is indeed scary. However, he quickly learns that he does not in fact scare the kids in the cabin. Crushed, Mike goes to the nearby lake and wallows in self-pity. Everything he's dreamed about and worked for has been for naught - he's failed to be scary, what society tells them is the only thing monsters should be. In the end Mike accepts this and along with Sully works his way from the mailroom at Monsters Inc. to the scare floor where we find him and Sully in Monsters, Inc.While this journey from the mailroom to success supports the "work hard and you can accomplish anything" mentality of our generations, it also addresses the fact that Mike isn't ultimately meeting his initial goal. He acknowledges his failure and grows past that. No other examples come to mind of children movies in which a character or character fail and are okay with it, at least not in the end. This is what the critics missed. Pixar has chosen to tell a story about children (monsters) who grew up and realized that they cannot achieve their dreams, that their dreams are out of reach and totally unattainable. This bold lesson is actually a fantastic one for kids who watch this film.For some, it's been decades of being taught that it is okay to fail, but that with hard work you can still achieve those dreams. For many that's true, but for some it's just not feasible. MU has managed to tell a story that supports that second statement. Failing isn't bad and realizing that some dreams really are out of reach is also okay. The real lesson is to be comfortable with who you are, what you're truly capable of and utilizing your strengths to better yourself and your community. That's what Mike does, he becomes the coach and teacher. His knowledge of scaring helps Sullivan to eventual massive success. He helps the rest of Oozma Kappa reach their dreams.It's not a story about settling, it's a story about failing, learning from it and growing from the experience to make yourself and others better. It's a life lesson that we should share with this current and future generations. Yes you can reach your dreams with hard work, but if you can't, that's okay too.

merci pour ce film

Story (3,5)«Die Monster Uni» von 2013 ist das Prequel zu dem 2001 erschienenen sehr erfolgreichen Animationsfilm «Die Monster AG». Die Pixar-Studios erzählen, mit gewohnter Originalität, die Vorgeschichte der beiden Monster-Hauptfiguren Mike und Sulley.Pixar hat eine gelungene „Fortsetzung“ auf die Leinwand gebracht, die sowohl von der Story , als auch von der technischen Umsetzung her zu überzeugen vermag. Mit einem gigantischen Budget von ca. 200 Millionen Dollar konnte aus dem Vollen geschöpft werden, und das ist diesem Streifen auch deutlich anzusehen. Regisseur Dan Scanlon machte seine Sache ausgezeichnet und lässt völlig vergessen, dass er hier sein Regiedebut gab.Nicht unwesentlich zum Erfolg dürfte auch die ausgezeichnete Filmmusik beigetragen haben, welche von niemand Geringerem als Pixars „Hauskomponisten“ Randy Newmann komponiert worden ist.Alles in allem eine runde Sache, die beste Unterhaltung bietet und vergnügliche 104 Minuten bereitet.Wie so oft kommt dieser zweite Film jedoch, vor allem was emotionale Momente anbelangt, nicht ganz an den genialen ersten Teil «Die Monster AG» heran…BLU-RAY-BILD (5)Das Bildseitenformat liegt in 1.78:1 (16:9 – Neuer HD-Video und TV-Standard) vor.Eine grandiose Bildschärfe mit einer ausgezeichneten Detailzeichnung und einer beeindruckenden Tiefenwirkung wird uns hier geboten - Pixar eben...Auch die Farben sind sehr natürlich und atmosphärisch ausgezeichnet gelungen. Bildtechnisch ein Referenz-Film, was die HD-Umsetzung anbelangt.BLU-RAY-TON (4)Das Tonformat liegt in Deutsch Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 vor.Schön ist die Tatsache, dass es eine 7.1-Tonspur gibt - weniger schön, dass es sich bei der deutschen Spur nicht um einen HD-Ton handelt.Grundsätzlich ist die Tonumsetzung sehr gut ausgefallen. Vor allem die Räumlichkeit ist dank der vorbildlich umgesetzten 7.1-Abmischung beeindruckend. Die Dialoge sind jederzeit bestens zu verstehen. Dynamik und Tonbalance können ebenfalls überzeugen.Eine beachtliche Tonumsetzung, die aber aufgrund des fehlenden HD-Tones deutlich hinter ihren Möglichkeiten zurückbleibt. Das wird deutlich, sobald man sich die englische Originalspur anhört…ExtrasGibt es viele, habe ich mir jedoch nicht angesehen.FAZITEin hervorragender und unterhaltsamer Familienfilm, in dem jedoch die Geschichte nicht die für Pixar übliche Tiefe erreicht. Sehenswert ist er allemal!Die technische Umsetzung der Blu-ray ist zudem ausgezeichnet ausgefallen.Prädikat: Sehr sehenswert!

Witzig bis zur letzten Sekunde. Ist sogar noch besser als der erste Teil. Ist alle Altersgruppen. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

My kids really loved Monsters Inc. They don't watch a lot of "mainstream" movies. I mean, our criteria for movies is very strict, so Monsters Inc just barely makes the cut. But we also enjoy the occasional trip to Disney, so it's nice to have a general understanding of the major Disney movies before they go on the rides, watch the parades, etc. So I let a few Disney ones slide by the filter,Anyway, they enjoyed Monsters University even more than the original. It had much better jokes, fewer "scary" moments, and even the grown-ups thought it was funnier than Monsters Inc.
