BIGFANBOY.com special notes:

Watched it on Blu-ray, and man, these Pixar movies were made to be seen this way. Crystal clear quality and fantastic sound. It's like seeing a completely new film. I've barely started making it through the extras, of which there are plenty. I often think this film gets overlooked when folks think of Pixar movies. It really is fun, and if you haven't seen it in a while, this is bar none the best way to experience.
