Monsters vs Aliens coming to DVD and Blu-ray
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – The
“laugh-out-loud funny” (“Access Hollywood”) adventure featuring
the “funniest animated action stars ever” (Westwood One)
prepares to take over the planet when DreamWorks Animation SKG,
Inc.’s (Nasdaq: DWA) worldwide sensation MONSTERS
VS. ALIENS arrives on Earth on DVD and Blu-ray
September 29, 2009. One of the highest-grossing films of the
year, earning over $196 million at the domestic box office, “the
year’s coolest comedy” (“Sixty Second Preview”) delighted kids
and parents alike with its uproarious story and unforgettable
characters. Now, for the first time ever, DreamWorks Animation
has created a spectacular 3D companion story to continue the
excitement and fun of the theatrical film. The
Ginormous Double DVD Pack and Blu-ray
both feature the world premiere of B.O.B.’S BIG
BREAK, an all-new 3D adventure starring everyone’s
favorite gelatinous hero and featuring the voice talents of Seth
Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett and Kiefer Sutherland.
The Ginormous Double DVD Pack and
Blu-ray each include four pair of 3D
glasses and have even more of what audiences loved with an
all-new interactive game in 3D, three all-new music videos,
three never-before-seen deleted scenes, a behind-the-scenes look
at the making of the film, filmmaker commentary and hours of
activities, such as the Creature Feature Fun Factory and much,
much more. Additionally, the Blu-ray boasts an exclusive
Animators’ Corner and Trivia Track so viewers can learn
everything they want to know about the characters and story.
With something for the whole family to enjoy, the Double DVD
Pack is the year’s best entertainment value with an anticipated
retail price under $25. The film also will be available on a
single-disc DVD.
MONSTERS VS. ALIENS
When Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is unexpectedly clobbered
by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to
49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a “Monster”
named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is
captured by General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) and held in
a secret government compound filled with other “monsters” like
herself. This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but
insect-headed Dr. Cockroach P.H.D. (Hugh Laurie); the macho
half-ape-half-fish The Missing Link (Will Arnett); the
gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B. (Seth Rogen); and the
350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement time is
cut short however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth
and the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to save
the world from imminent destruction.
B.O.B.’S BIG BREAK
B.O.B. (Seth Rogen) and his monstrous crew are on a mission to
bust out of Area 52, the government’s top-secret holding cell.
Led by mad-scientist Dr. Cockroach P.H.D. (Hugh Laurie) and
macho amphibian The Missing Link (Will Arnett), the trio outwits
grizzled General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) to make a
triumphant escape…almost.
Monstrous Marketing Campaign
The MONSTERS VS. ALIENS DVD and
Blu-ray debut will be supported by a comprehensive marketing
program including an extensive advertising campaign that will
generate hundreds of millions of impressions across national
television, print and online media outlets. In addition, DVD
and Blu-ray messaging will be extended further through
promotional alliances with a wide range of companies including
Carl’s Jr.® and Hardees Restaurants®, Chuck E. Cheese’s,
Energizer, Hostess Snack Cakes, Litehouse, Tyson Foods and
Wrigley. A national publicity campaign will further raise
awareness of the launch through editorial placement from street
date through the holiday season.
