Admirable film.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This short animation is about the new car Mike bought. He is proud of it until things go awfully wrong."Mike's New Car" is aimed at very young children. To be honest, I do not quite see the attraction of this short. The plot is a simple one, featuring merry mishaps of Mike and Scully while working with the technologically advanced car. It is not particularly hilarious or warm. If this was nominated for an Oscar, then the other shorts must have been very bad, or there were no other shorts.I find "Mike's New Car" rather forgettable. I have never been a fan of "Monsters Inc", so it may have affected my judgment of this animation.

If you have got the Monsters, Inc. DVD then you would be able to watch this special short film for after the main feature. Basically Mike (Billy Crystal) has bought a new "monster" car as a treat, and he decides to show it to Sulley (John Goodman), and take him for a spin. It is Sulley stepping into the car that Mike sees all the problems with adjusting, getting started, and obviously driving. All the gadgets of the car are complicated, and it ends with the car being ruined, and Mike realising that his old car was much easier. The computer effects are quality, the gags involving the car's gadgets are cool, and it ultimately a good film that follows the main feature. Very good!

When I saw the DVD of Monsters inc came out, I thought this would be some cruddy part of it...but when I saw it for the first time, I was absolutely dying laughing, as there was every sight gag in the books. Everyone who is a normal person and likes to laugh, this is a must see, because even though it is about 3-5 minutes long, it is absolutely hilarious, hence the title of this. I laugh a LOT, and I only remember I have only laughed as hard as after I saw this maybe only 5 or 6 times. Anyway, if you like Daffy Duck humor, then this is the right thing for you...heck with it...if you like any humor WATCH THIS! I don't have anything else to say....but it is definitely funny...yea thats it...

With the money from his new found fame and success, Mike buys a brand new powerful car to replace his old one. With state of the art gadgets and controls, Mike is eager to show it off to Sully. However this car is a little more complex than his last model.When I borrowed the Monsters Inc DVD off some friends I was impressed by the sheer number of extras on it, whether the tv spots or the weird Japanese games or the outtakes etc. Of all the things additional to the movie, this short is the second best extra (the best being the musical `Put That Thing Back Where it Came From Or So Help Me').Although it relies much more on physical humour than the film does I must admit to still being tickled by it. It appealed to the toddler audience a lot more simply because there were no real `over the head' jokes aimed at adults and not at the kids – plus it involved one character being hurt!Overall I enjoyed this short and, when I watch Monsters Inc with any young relatives, I always make sure that the musical and this short are part of the viewing agenda.
