Bring home the humor and heartfelt emotion of the epic adventure that captured the Academy Award for "Best Animated Feature Film" (2003) -- now more awesome than ever on Disney Blu-ray 3D! It's Magic In A New Dimension!
Review: I'm a lifelong fan of animation.  I have grown with the cartoons as we were brought into a world of more serious storylines, ala Batman: the Animated Series in the 1990s, but nothing could prepare me for what Pixar was going to bring to Disney.   Their films are full of depth, well produced and authentic characters, as well as the exploration of very serious themes like life, death, abandonment, our place in the world, etc.  They really give their audiences, children and adults alike, respect through their real storytelling.  Finding Nemo was a film that I didn't intially think I would be interested in when it came out, until I saw the magic of Pixar bring the ocean to life.  I find it easy to forget that I'm watching an animated feature!  If any Pixar was just dying to have a 3D transfer it was this one!  The film is charming as ever and is really brought to life with the addition of 3D!  The movie is gorgeous in high-definition, which you can get in the standard 2D blu-ray that is included in the set.  This set gives fans a ton of special features, including interviews, artwork and in-depth looks at the making of the film.  This is the ultimate collector's pack for Nemo and we cannot recommend it enough.  Add this one to your library today!

Available To Own For The First Time On 5-Disc Blu-ray™ 3D Combo Pack “Ultimate Collector’s Edition” -- Debuts February 19, 2013

“Monsters, Inc.,” one of Disney•Pixar’s most beloved and visually imaginative feature films, arrives for the first time on Blu-ray 3D in the “Ultimate Collector’s Edition” 5-Disc Combo Pack on February 19, 2013.  In addition to hours of delightful bonus features, the “Monsters, Inc.” Blu-ray 3D “Ultimate Collector’s Edition” features a sneak peek at the upcoming all-new Disney•Pixar release “Monsters University.” The now-classic Academy Award®-winning animated comedy adventure “Monsters, Inc.” is set in Monstropolis, a thriving company town where monsters of all shapes and sizes reside. Lovable Sulley (voiced by John Goodman) and his wisecracking best friend Mike Wazowski (voiced by Billy Crystal) are the top scare team at Monsters, Inc., the largest scream-processing factory. The main power source in the monster world is the collected screams of human children—and at Monsters, Inc., an elite team of scarers is responsible for gathering those precious natural resources.  Believed by monsters to be toxic, children are strictly forbidden from entering Monstropolis.  But when a little girl named Boo (voiced by Mary Gibbs) accidentally follows Sulley back into his world, he finds his career in jeopardy and his life in utter chaos. Assisted by Mike, the two pals plot to rectify the mistake and return Boo to her home.  When the trio encounters an unexpected series of complications, they become embroiled in a cover-up catapulting them into a mystery beyond their wildest dreams.  Directed by Oscar®-winner Pete Docter (“Up”) and produced by Oscar nominee Darla K. Anderson (“Toy Story 3”), “Monsters, Inc.” features a screenplay by Andrew Stanton and Daniel Gerson and music by Randy Newman.
