I ordered this because it is Disney and if and when this sells out, the going rate will be higher than the current asking price. With that said, I completely understand the argument of wanting more for your money. I did hear from a friend though that this one is disappointing to Monsters Inc. I may cancel for that reason actually.

Just like cars 2 sucked, lets see how the second fidning nemo movie turns out.

 

[Blu-devil]

Personally I'd rather get the Blufans version as I want the complete package

Lets not forget Toy Story 3. That was incredible. They've just had a few sub-par movies. Finding dory already has lovable characters. Not much else can go wrong, I hope.

I didn't like the Cars in the first place. Just couldn't suspend my disbelief for that one. I like most of the others, but in my opinion, even the best of Pixar can't beat the best of Disney's animated features. What Pixar has done is take the best of the Disney and Warner Bros formulas and then paid attention to contemporary cinema. It would be great to see Pixar take some real risks again. That said, Monsters Inc is probably my favourite Pixar film. I'm really looking forward to Monsters University though I do not really expect it to have the depth of the original.

With all the recent sequels, I get the impression that Pixar have run out of ideas or would rather just go for the safer option

 

[hayemaker]

3 of the their last 4 films have been sequels and they have Finding Nemo 2 upcoming along with Planes, a Cars spin-off.

 

[crazytaxinext]

I enjoyed Monster Uni but yup, it doesn't come close to the original or Pixar's finest. Toy Story 3 was their last great but I'll still pick this up. It's somewhere in the mid-range for Pixar.

Ignoring the content/pricing controversy for the moment, the actual art is ok, not stunning but sometimes "less is more".
Be interesting to see what Blufans come up with though.

 

[Mrhoyt]

Planes is not Pixar

 

[BluSteel2012]

Planes is not Pixar

You are absolutely right. Well spotted.....

I have never heard of this movie before? Is it a collection of short Pixar/Disney movies?

Its the prequel to monsters inc. Now out in cinemas in the uk!

my german steelbook of the first monster inc is a 2 disc set with hell of a content and a super colourfull glossy finish which costs me only 10€ by the way. this right here would look really poor next to it, way too plain with the white background.

hope the blufans and german one have better artwork and more content.

A super glossy finish, printed back, no inside art, no 3-D copy, and a low price because it's 18 months old and still not sold out - hardly a fair comparison.

The background of 'University' will almost certainly be shiny bare metal. It looks white on the mock up / proof because there's no artwork.

Ordered this one,but may very well cancel it,once there's more information on the blufans edition.which will be far superior,in every sense,I'm sure

 

[Bastiensmum]

Passed. Saving for a house so prices need to be under £15 for me to bite.

So, if it's not up to scratch, rather than not buy it, you steal it?

I know so many ways in which companies steal from costumers, but because they do it using the legal way, it makes it right.

I think it's **** that this does not include the 3d disc, so what do I do?

I simply don't buy it.
The main reason I buy movies is because I want to have something you can't get "online for free", the extras, the cover, the whole package that make the purchase special.
Netflix, LoveFilm, .... or even free, there're plenty of places to can get the movie for a lot of cheaper, and when I want to buy something, I look for the whole package. I want to feel that I have got as much as I can from the movie.

Otherwise, this year you get the 2D version steelbook, next year Zavvi will decide to re-release a different steelbook with a different cover with 3D included, so the same people who spent money on this version will buy the same movie again.

I buy another version that does. Any thief will find means to justify their actions, but it doesn't make it right.

Right and wrong is subjective right?

 

[Lollard2002]

can't perceive 3D so it's wasted on me anyway........

The thing is they're doing the wronge sequels, who thought 'we need another cars or monsters inc' when incredibles is still a thing. That film is the only one that I personally think would benefit from a sequel.

All disney steelbooks should be 3d hands down even the regular amarays always come 3d so for these exclusives not to have it total let down
