Reuniting the comedy duo (and reprising the voice talents) of Sulley and Mike from the feature film 'Monster's Inc.' makes this gag-driven short worth watching for any fan of these two characters and their relationship.
The premise is a clever continuation from the movie, where Mike was not allowed to drive to work due to the current energy crisis in Monstropolis. In the short, the deprived monster gets a chance to show off his new 'six-wheel drive' to his partner. This subtle attention to detail and character is a display of how intimate Pixar Animation Studios are with their work. Unfortunately for Mike, the display doesn't run smoothly, creating a hilarious predicament in the middle of the street.
'Mike's New Car' might feature a little too much slapstick for some viewers, but many should appreciate it for what it is.
8/10
