I love the behind the
scenes stuff on the Pixar dvd’s.
I just wanted to hear which documentaries, commentaries, etc is your
favourite. Write the reason as well, it’s more fun.
My favourite is “Making Nemo”. It was the
first one I saw and it immediately caught my interest I have had a pashion for the studio ever since. It
presented the studio as a great place to work, have fun, and yet work really hard to attain their great
movies.
Ooh, great topic! 
I’d have to say the TI DVD was the best: It had so many great little finds, I
swear, you could spend hours playing around with it!
The Toy Story 2 (my fav
Pixar film) DVD had a great commentary…very informative, with lots of cool little
goodies!
First of all, welcome to Pixar Planet,
Rebosso! I hope you enjoy your stay here. 
Secondly: My favorite special
features (documentaries, commentaries, etc…)? Hmm…let me see:
[b]Favorite
documentary[/b] - My favorite documentary for a Pixar film would, more than likely, have to be the one
for Monsters Inc., simply because more information about this particular film was
revealed than for any other feature (save, perhaps, The Incredibles and the two
Toy Story films). It was quite informative and allowed viewers to explore the world
of Pixar Animation Studios a little more…and right from their own living room.
Favorite Commentary - Due to the fact that [i]Finding
Nemo[/i] is currently my favorite of the Pixar films, I must also admit that the commentary for the
feature is just as fun to listen to.
“I found some chips.” - Bob Peterson 
Favorite Easter Egg - The first [i]Pixar Animation Studios
International Airshow[/i] featurette on the Monsters Inc. dvd. I had
quite a fun time watching each contestant submit their own, uniquely-crafted planes for show. And, of course, the
music just made everything more enjoyable.
Perhaps I’ll think of more later after my
brain “reloads” with information. 
(haha) Yeah, I remember that now! That was great!
It must be fun to be a
Pixar employee! 
Yeah, me too. I haven’t watched some in a
while…
One thing I really like is the “Filmmakers Reflect” of
the Toy Story anniversary dvd. It’s so fun just to listen to those briliant guys talk. I like it when they tell
those funny stories and laugh out loud. And it’s great with the bloopers at the end.
Another little tiny
detail thing I like is at the Toy Story 2 anniversary dvd on the “John Lasseter profile”: It’s a brief
second shot of Lasseter in the storyboard room saying “ooh, I love riddles”. I just get a kick out of
that ( it just sais it all that Pixar is a fun place to work for) and it makes me want to go to Pixar even
more.
Rebosso – Yeah, the
Filmakers Reflect was a neat clip!
It’s sad, 'cuz Joe Ranft was one that was on there, and he died like
three months later… 
Rebosso - Oh yeah, I love that little [i]"Film Makers
Reflect"[/i] feature, as well. I love to laugh along with them. Heheh.
Gasduude - Cha – it is rather sad. I really miss Joe Ranft. I always wanted
to meet him, as he was a friend of my dad’s. Thank goodness he was a Christian…
I’ll tell you this much. Anything in the Incredibles is absoultely fun and amazing.
Everything!!! (see bolded word)
[b]The Star Swordsman
[/b] – Yep! It is the best!
Mitch – Man, I keep forgeting
your parents are in the animation biz…that’s cool! I wish I could meet someone like that…
I’ll try to elaborate it a little more.
I can not
say wich one is my favorite. How can I when I lov all of them? They all made me laugh and learn something
new.
Here’s my
list:
Favorite documentaries: Making Nemo and
Making of The Incredibles, they were just so funny, so cool and so full of stuff
that make me want to work at Pixar!
Favorite commentary: The
Finding Nemo one. It was so funny, I was cracking up on the "Sea monkey has my
money" part! 
Favorite easter eggs: The ones of
Finding Nemo, specially the ones with Dory!
Now, I wanna tell you
something: my Cars DVD [b]doesn’t have the deleted
scenes![/b] Why do you guys think that here in Portugal it happens? Please give me your
opinion.
When I first saw that the DVD didn’t have the deleted scenes, I was soooooooo frustrated! 
My Cars dvd does not have the deleted scenes either. I
think it’s weird because it says on the back “deleted scenes” and yet it doesn’t include them.
[b]Maggie
and Rebosso[/b] – Yeah, I know: It stinks! The Cars DVD was Pixar’s
first non-two disc…I was really disappointed. I mean, I heard that it wasn’t going to have many bonus features
(from Upcoming Pixar and the like) but no commentary?! Just a commentary and I would
have been happy!
I’m sure this has been brought up in the Cars forums, but one thing that was good
about the Cars DVD was that easter egg “Boundin’” short…
Ditto on your DVD, Rebosso, mine certainly doesn’t…
I think generally, all of the stuff on
the extra DVD that came with Monsters, Inc. has to be the most in-depth and interesting stuff about Pixar, just
because they show you so much of what it’s like to work there! I like most of the commentaries, though the
Finding Nemo one makes me laugh the most.
Lizardgirl: My favorite MI extra was the little
Pixar Studios tour. What about you?
Haha –
thanks! Yeah, it’s pretty awesome. I only wish I could meet most of the people that my parents
know.
lizardgirl - Yeah, exactly! The [i]Monsters
Inc.[/i] dvd definitely had the best selection of bonus features – the thing was loaded with junk.
(snigger)
I also like the Pixar Studio Tour, and the character turn-arounds
are always fun to look at. It’s helpful for if you want to learn how to draw a particular character from many
different angles.
The Pixar Fun Factory Tour, I
believe it was called … from the Monsters, Inc. DVD. It was when I watched that, I thought to myself 'This is
where I wanna be.’ I had always wanted to be an animator for Disney beforehand, but I saw these goofballs and
thought ‘OMG MY PEOPLE!’ xD
I just love it that they’re adults but they think with the imagination and
creativity of children, and they goof off and have fun but manage to get their work done.

Haha – yeah, I had the same reaction! I thought, "Man, I’m
not the only crazy person on the planet! I can live with these guys!"
(snigger)
When I saw it, I was like, Dude, this is my dream job now.
(Heehee) Same here!
Everything Pixar has/does is just completely how I would want it…from the
employees designing their own cubicles, to the Paper Airplane contest, to their Atrium, the non-stop scooter
riding…it’s all good!
