Monsters Inc. NOT in 16:9
Review date: 2008-12-14 Rating: 8 out of 10
A previous reviewer 'corrected' someone by pointing out that all films in this collection are widescreen - this is not true! While 'A Bug's Life' can be flipped over for a widescreen version, Monsters Inc. is definitely 1.33:1 / 4:3, not widescreen, and there is only a single side to the disc. This was obviously very disappointing, and I cannot think of any reason why the widescreen version would not be included.
The specifications on the packaging confirm this ("Full Frame 1.33:1").
Will now have to shell out more for a proper version of this film. Buyers beware.
Reviews
All films in 16:9 format
Review date: 2008-11-23 Rating: 10 out of 10
Just to clear up a point another guy's made Bug's Life is not in 4:3 format. They didn't flip the disc and there they'd find the full 16:9 format of the original movie. Not sure how they've found a Toy Story film at 4:3 as well, as both are in full 16:9. So every movie is in 16:9 format and all the discs are stored safely in thinner DVD plastic clip cases.
So don't let the review below put you off - this really is one of the best pressies you can buy yourself or someone else this Christmas! The Pixar story & shorts are all excellent too and well worth watching especially for the history of the Pixar animation team in the early days.
A Great Box Set
Review date: 2008-09-18 Rating: 8 out of 10
All of these films are absolutely magnificent in their own way. A truly great purchase if you don't already have them on DVD. I had all but 3 of these films on DVD, so decided to sell the ones I had and buy this. Only things is, the Monsters INC and Toy Story 1 films in this Box Set are 4:3 as opposed to 16:9, unlike my previous versions - so a bit annoyed about that. Otherwise, this is an excellent purchase. 8 quality films for £45 is amazing value and well worth the investment.
From now, I'll be buying films on Blu-ray though, but this is a great way to say goodbye to Disney Pixar DVD's! Save yourself the trouble of buying each DVD separately and get this!
8 films and more
Review date: 2008-07-01 Rating: 10 out of 10
I purchased this to replace a number of aging VHS tapes and as a £43 pre-order is exceptional value. Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles and Ratatouille are 2 disc collectors editions (though The Incredibles doesn't say this on the cover). Cars, Monster Inc and a Bugs Life all came with postcards - 10 in total. The final 2 discs contain 13 'shorts' and a documentary (purported to be approx 85 minutes in length). The disks are contained in 'slimline' cases.
Well that's the kids viewing over the summer holidays sorted!
