Literally speaking, the
monsters are among us. It is simply
that time of the year!
The monsters that we are
speaking of are of the cinematic kind as the “Hollywood” studios having been
taking turns of late in selecting street dates for their summer blockbusters —
post Labor Day street dates are the most lucrative.
So it is with Walt Disney
Studios Home Entertainment’s announcement this past week that director Dan
Scanlon’s animated smash, Monsters University (a prequel, if
you well) will be settling in on Oct. 29 as a four-SKU product offering.
The ARR is 130 days and
the box office haul was an eye-popping $258.6 million.
Planned for consumer
buying options are a stand-along DVD release, plus three Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack
SKUs — one includes a 3D viewing option, while the other two are either with or
without a Digital Copy bonus (premium for that is five bucks).
Bonus features for the
Blu-ray product offerings include the short animated film, “The Blue Umbrella,”
deleted scenes, unspecified audio commentary (we think writer/director Dan
Scanlon — no word on Billy Crystal or John Goodman) and nine featurettes.
