Monster Wars is presented in its original 4x3 aspect ratio, and looks fair on DVD. Compression is always an issue with animation on DVD, and this disc is no exception. Aliasing is common and distracting. Noise appears on white areas, particularly shirts. The overall look is soft, with bright, saturated colors that remain controlled. 
A 2.0 surround track offers little to discuss. There are minor moments of positional stereo work as a bat creature swoops in and out of the frame. Dialogue is clear, and the action never overwhelms it.
Extras include a few trailers which auto play when inserted. 
Roddy McDowall’s acting career, which began in 1938, finished here in one episode as Dr. Hugh Trevor. He passed away only a few weeks after completing his work.
