Monsters vs. Aliens comes in peace and offers earthlings a few supplemental features as a sign of goodwill. Things get started with a commentary track featuring Producer Lisa Stewart, Co-Director Rob Letterman, and Co-Director Conrad Vernon. The filmmakers discuss their approach to 3D (which fans unfortunately cannot see on this Blu-ray), the many homages and nuances in the film, the cast and crew's work, scrapped ideas, character design, and more. Despite some gaps in the comments, fans should enjoy listening to this one. The Animators' Corner is a picture-in-picture multi-participant video commentary that focuses more on the film's design and the process of bringing it to life. The secondary video window showcases plenty of behind-the-scenes footage, crude animations, and parts of the film in various stages of completion. Viewers will also learn more about the casting process, the directors, editing the film, working in 3D, and much more. Once again, this makes for a must-watch feature for fans of the film or animation in general. Also included is a pop-up trivia track that offers various tidbits surrounding the film and some of the ideas presented throughout.

Monstrous 3D & More contains two 3D features (for use with the included glasses): B.O.B.'s Big Break (1080p, 13:19, Dolby Digital 5.1) and Paddle Ball (1080p, Dolby Digital 2.0), the latter of which is a 3D game played with the remote. While both are good features, they only serve as a disappointing reminder that the 3D version of the feature film is not included. Out-of-This-World 2D Fun once again features B.O.B.'s Big Break, this time in 2D. This tab also contains Karaoke Music Party, singalong pieces with Ginormica (1080p, 2:04), B.O.B. (1080p, 1:46), and The Missing Link and Dr. Cockroach (1080p, 1:42). Next is a collection of three deleted scenes (1080i, 5:29), presented in various stage of development. Modern Monster Movie-Making (1080i, 17:28) looks at the new digital and 3D revolution and Monsters vs. Aliens' place as the perfect outlet to showcase the new technologies. The piece also contains the voice cast discussing their characters, the process of recording voiceover work, and a look into the real-world acting implemented to ensure accuracy in the digital realm. Tech of MVA (1080i, 6:19) takes an all-too-brief look at the "tools of the trade" used to bring the movie to life. Finally, DreamWorks Animation Video Jukebox contains 1080p music videos for various DreamWorks Animation films: Over the Hedge (2:00), Madagascar (1:04), Kung Fu Panda (2:37), Bee Movie (1:25), Shrek (1:17), and Flushed Away (2:01).
