"Story is King" (SD, 2-minutes) looks at the storyboard process, and really strikes home the point that the movie should be as emotionally effective with still drawings as it will be in the final CG render. It's fun and shows off the unique vibe that the company has. "Humans Only" contains the "Pixar Fun Factory Tour" (SD, 4-minutes), an inside-look at the studio facility, toured by John Lasseter. A new Blu-ray game, "Roz's 100 Door Challenge" is a cute trivia / interactive game that provides you with 100 questions - once you get three wrong, though, you're "placed" in a position at Monsters, Inc. Popping in the second disc, we are faced with a menu very similar to the DVD release: "Humans Only" or "Monsters Only".
Not included is a Cine-Explore feature, which would have been a nice exclusive, but I suppose its easier to do that for newer films than older films. is also available, featuring insightful thoughts and discussions with Pete Docter, Lee Unkrich, Andrew Stanton and John Lasseter. Finally, the feature-length audio commentary for Monsters, Inc. The original made-for-DVD tie-in short, Mike's New Car (HD, 4-minutes) is also included, with an optional "children's" commentary track.

Ride and Go Seek: Building Monstropolis in Japan" (HD, 8-minutes) is a look at the new "flashlight tag" ride that just opened up in Tokyo Disneyland - it sounds like a pretty neat ride, and allowed the Walt Disney Imagineering folks to showcase their state-of-the-art animatronic capabilities. Anderson and story supervisor Bob Peterson reminisce about their experiences working on Monsters, Inc., as well as some of the aspects of the original DVD release of the film.
