Larger Than Life
Susan Murphy’s (voiced by Reese Witherspoon) wedding day is rudely interrupted when a space meteor clobbers her in the head and stretches her to gargantuan proportions! It’s hard to say “I do” when your head’s in the clouds—literally, but Susan doesn’t even get the chance when the military whisks her away to a secret location. Once at the compound, she meets a motley crew of other “monsters.” There’s the eccentric Dr. Cockroach Ph.D., the half-fish, half-ape Missing Link, the gelatin-like (and brainless) B.O.B. and the gigantic furry grub named Insectosaurus. Together the ragtag group must defeat Gallaxher, the evil alien with plans to invade Earth with his army of clones. Susan always planned to return to her normal life, but once she tastes the power of independence she just might change her mind—and save the world in the process.
Special Features
Modern Monster Movie-Making and The Tech of Monsters vs. Aliens takes you behind the scenes of how the movie was made. You also get three deleted scenes, a commentary and the DreamWorks Animation Video Jukebox. The extras on Monsters vs. Aliens aren’t very impressive, but you do get a whole extra movie—albeit a short one—with B.O.B.’s Big Break, so you can’t complain too much.
B.O.B.'s Big Break
Before Susan joined the team, the monsters plotted a mission to escape the government holding cell and they almost succeeded! This 13 minute short comes as an add-on DVD and with the four pairs of glasses inside, you and your whole family can watch the adventure in 3D! The bonus movie also comes with some out-of-this-world features like a karaoke music party, a paddle ball game and a Monsters vs. Aliens game demo!
