[Matt Bloxham]

My family and I can't wait for Monsters, INC to come out on DVD Those features sure do sound great and look to rival the Shrek DVD, can't wait

 

[Adam_WM]

Monsters, Inc. looks like a great DVD. Pixar always delivers. The one thing that people are probably going to start pissing and moaning about, though, is going to be no DTS. "NO DTS = NO BUY" they'll say. boo-hoo.

 

[Jeff Kleist]

Dear GOD! Look how many extras!

Pixar just keeps having to outdo themselves don't they? I'll be buying PH because A-I like Michael Bay, and B-the supplements are worth the price of admission

 

[Craig_T]

I'm definitely getting Monsters Inc. the day it's released. I won't be getting Pearl Harbor unless I need an extra boat anchor.

 

[Marc_E]

WOW!

Hey! I am one who wanted DTS, but I WILL WILL WILL buy it anyway! It looks awesome, my family will love it! DAMN 9/17 is a long way off!

[Rob Tomlin]

I did not see this in the Theater, but since it is a Pixar release, it is a definite purchase.

September is a long wait, but it should be worth it!

[Craig S]

Both of those releases sound fantastic!!
Here's another interesting tidbit from the linked article:

there'll be a 3 disk version of "Beauty and the Beast" on October 8th

Hopefully 3 discs means one of them will contain the workprint version that was previously released on laser.
Edit: Oops!! Much more info on this here .

Here's the complete Disney press release from today that includes the specs on several 2002 DVD releases.

[Dan Brecher]

Disney...you've come so far! Monsters, Harbour, Beast, you got sales from me in all of these titles AND I just saw those 1961 Parent Trap specs over at DVD File!

Dan

 

[LukeB]

Good thing about Monsters Inc: NO standard edition release. Just the 2-disc Collector's Edition and $29.99 SRP! Disney's CEs just got better, and now at THAT PRICE they're without a doubt better than any other studio's 2-disc sets. Can't wait to own both Monsters Inc and Beauty and the Beast 2-disc sets!

 

[Larry Gardner]

Here's the package!

 

[Tim RH]

That pic is old, old news I'm afraid. For one thing, there's only three discs in the photo, when there should be four!
