After scaring up big
laughs in theaters, the in-home release of “Monsters
University” opens its doors to
the movie in stunning high definition Blu-ray, and provides hours of all-new
bonus material, in-depth behind the scenes features, deleted scenes, the
animated theatrical short “The Blue Umbrella” and much more. Directed by Dan
Scanlon ("Cars," "Mater and the Ghostlight," "Tracy"), produced by Kori Rae
("Up," "The Incredibles," "Monsters, Inc."), and written by Dan Scanlon and
Robert Baird & Dan Gerson (“Monsters, Inc.”), “Monsters University” marks
Pixar’s 14th consecutive film to debut at number one at the box
office.
Ever since college-bound Mike
Wazowski (voice of Billy
Crystal) was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarer—and he knows
better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University
(MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike's plans are derailed when he crosses paths with
hotshot James P. Sullivan,
"Sulley" (voice of John
Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pair's out-of-control competitive spirit
gets them both kicked out of the University's elite Scare Program. To make
matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd
bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right. “Monsters
University” bravely explores
themes of self-discovery and the revelations that come with growing up.

Joining Crystal and Goodman as part of “Monsters
University’s” monstrously talented voice cast are Steve Buscemi (voice of Randy
Boggs), Helen Mirren (voice of Dean Hardscrabble), Alfred Molina (voice of
Professor Knight), Charlie Day (voice of Art), Sean P. Hayes (voice of Terri
Perry), Dave Foley (voice of Terry Perry), Nathan Fillion (voice of Johnny
Worthington) and Aubrey Plaza (voice of Claire Wheeler). Featuring a score from
recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and award-winning composer Randy
Newman ("Monsters,
Inc.," "Toy Story
3"), MU also includes music from
Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso of Swedish House Mafia.

- Color and Light – How can a single painting set the tone for an entire scene? We'll look at the creation of the colorscripts and how they were realized technically in the final film.
