[The following is the article I would have written for the lost media wiki if it weren't for the fact that this version was officially released before the wiki existed]
Monsters Inc is the 4th movie released as part of the deal between Disney and Pixar. Initially released on November 2nd 2001, the movie follows James "Sully" Sullivan and Michael "Mike" Wazowski as they work for Monsters Incorporated where they harness the power of child screams as their primary energy source, only to be confronted with the challenge of a child "Boo" wandering into their world, and now they have to get her back to the human world. Along the way they have to deal with a rival scarer Randal and their boss Mr Waterman since harboring a child is considered very dangerous and could get them in serious trouble. The credits were initially a simple illustrations of monsters similar to the opening title credits while John Goodman (Sully) and Billy Crystal (Mike) singing the original song "if I didn't have you."
Outtakes Revision
About 2 weeks after the initial release, commercials started advertising that starting December 7th there would now be end of credits outtakes in the same tradition of A Bugs Life and Toy Story 2. In these outtakes the characters would be seen making mistakes such as tripping during the scarers entering the scare floor or Mike correcting Sully's pig Latin at the restaurant. These would be played alongside the credits and were part of all future movie screenings and the VHS and DVD home media release, leaving the original outtakeless version unavailable.
Original Credits Release
For the next 8 years, the only widely available version of the movie was with the credits. That is until November 10th 2009 when for the blu-ray release the original outtakeless credits sequence was restored with the outtakes existing as a stand-alone bonus feature. This version became the release version for both bluray and streaming, leaving the outtakes version for the VHS and DVD release.
