Hello guys. Been a while since I’ve been on this site, but now I’m gonna start a project that I will actually complete this time…

“Monsters, Inc.” - Original Theatrical Presentation is a project that attempts recreating the original theatrical version of the 2001 Pixar comedy, “Monsters, Inc.”. The project will recreate the following:

Original Theatrical Trailer Reel - The trailers that originally proceeded the film theatrically, as proven by older forms from Film-Tech. The trailers include:

  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
  • Ice Age
  • ET 20th Anniversary
  • The Rookie
  • Snow Dogs
  • Stuart Little 2
  • Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
  • Return to Neverland (attached)
  • Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (attached)

The trailers that aren’t labeled with “(attached)” will be optional trailers when the final product arrives.

For the Birds - The short that proceeded the feature will also be involved in the project. As evident by an old bootleg recording of the film, the credits of the Short were shortened for time. As such, the short’s credits will be altered for this project.

The Feature Film - The film will run at 24fps and will be available in 1080p. A 4K version will be made if I ever decide on doing it. For planned audio tracks, scroll further down on the page. In the film, there is a scene that is censored. The scene in general is the snow-cone scene, where the snow cones don’t have the snowy texture to them in most versions of the film. The only releases that uncensor this include the old DVD, and the 3D version of the film: the 3D version will be the source used for the scenes where the cones are visible. For the film itself, the original BD release will be used.

Versions - Two versions of the film will be available. One version features the outtakes at the end, while the other version doesn’t. I have already done a test of the outtake credits, so if you want to see that, PM me. The versions will also contain the optional trailers mentioned above.

Audio - The standard audio source for the film will be the English DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track from the BD. The trailers will be presented in 2.0 if a 5.1 track isn’t available. The 5.1 track will be altered for the “outtake” edit of the film.

Outtake Credits - The version of the feature film that includes the outtakes during the credits is a very strange case in terms of finding a 1080p version. It has appeared on several international TV broadcasts (like Star Movies HD in Chinese & Disney Junior Latin America), but no 1080p version is fully accessible publicly on any physical media. If you have a rip of these outtakes, please PM me! It’s definitely needed for the project.

This project will be a big one, hoping that this actually ends up working in the end!

SOURCES:

  • Monsters, Inc. - Blu-ray from 2009 (Feature & Short Film)
  • YouTube & Various DVD releases (Trailers)
  • Any international TV airing of the film that utilizes the outtake credits.
