Sometimes Simple Is Better, 27. Juni 2007

Author: ccthemovieman-1 von Lockport, NY, United States

This is a quick comment about new cars and all the buttons on them. The "message" being sometimes it was a lot better with a basic simple machines of the past.

"Mike" (Billy Crystal) has a new car he wants to show off to "Sully" so he invites him to take a ride. They never get to the ride because "Sully" (John Goodman) either hits a wrong button or does something to stall things, driving Mike nuts. Poor Mike takes a beating. The cartoon also is a comment on the sometimes-annoying noise the car will make if your seat belts aren't secured.

This animated short came with The "Monsters, Inc." DVD and is a fun four minutes. Mike and Sully, of course, were the stars of the feature film.

P.S. The car is very cool.

Manic and funny but mostly for kids, 1. September 2003
Author: bob the moo von Birmingham, UK

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.

Funny animated short, 11. Februar 2003

Author: rbverhoef (rbverhoef@hotmail.com) von The Hague, Netherlands

As a little extra on 'Monsters, Inc' Disney and Pixar bring us 'Mike's New Car', a terrific animated short film that was nominated for an Oscar. If you liked 'Monsters, Inc.' I see no reason why you should not like this little film. One of the two main characters of 'Monsters, Inc.', Mike (voice by Billy Crystal), has bought a new car. The other main character, Sulley (John Goodman), joins him for a drive. Sort of.

This film is quite funny, especially the ending is hilarious. As with all Disney/Pixar films the animation is perfect. Especially Sulley seems almost like a real creature the way his hair and facial expressions are animated. If you like other films from Disney and Pixar Animation Studios you should not miss this one.

Brilliant example of new generation cartoon, 28. Dezember 2002

Author: tacoekkel

I just can't watch this one enough: the attention to detail is just so overwhelming. Voice, characters, image, music, texture, etc. are blended together in an absolutely awesome way. It also shows how well-thought-out the characteristic personal traits of the stars of the movie are. Timing is perfect and the effect of CGI is put to really good use here - to have fun and just that. Applause! Perfect!

A cute film., 16. Oktober 2002
Author: cmyklefty von Philadelphia

I enjoying watching Monsters, Inc. with Sulley and Mike, then seeing them in this short film. It is nice bonus to Monsters, Inc. that Pixar put Mike's New Car with buying or renting on VHS or DVD at your video store. Mike is funny when he and Sulley react to the new car. I like more films with the characters. I will not be surprised if the Mike and Sulley make a special appearance in Finding Nemo at the end of the film in the goofs.

Short but Hilarious!!, 30. August 2002

Author: Erik DeBattista (erikdeb@hotmail.com) von Malta, Attard

I have seen Monster's Inc, thinking that no computer animated movie will ever reach the levels of Shrek. Well I was surely wrong!! This short feature about Mike's new car is simply hilarious. Just watch Mike's and Sully's facial expressions.. 8 out of 10

Entertaining and funny, 17. März 2003

Author: Spanner-2 von United States

This one, from the boys over at Pixar, is a continuation of the "Monster's Inc" storyline with Mike (voice of Billy Crystal) showing Sulley (voice of John Goodman) his new car. Hillariety erupts. The animation is typical pixar, the voice talent is game. This is a funny, creative effort that flies by fairly quickly. An enjoyable little film. GRADE: A-

A Funny Little Short..., 6. Dezember 2002
Author: MovieAddict2008 von themovieaddict.com

Sully and Mike, of "Monster's Inc.," are the stars of the five minute short, "Mike's New Car," which shows Mike trying to figure out how to drive his new car, with Sully watching Mike act like an idiot, basically.

If you liked "Monsters Inc.," You'll love "Mike's New Car," which features the voice talents of Billy Crystal and John Goodman.

3.5/5 stars -

Quality short film, 23. September 2002

Author: nucksfan4life von USA

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

"Mike's New Car" is a quality short film from Pixar. The main reason I enjoyed it so much was because of Mike's facial expressions. He seems to be way more aggressive and hostile than he ever was in the feature film. Those faces are priceless, and I will probably watch this short film over and over again just to see the faces.

Short and simple...but not exactly Oscar worthy, 8. Februar 2008

Author: planktonrules von Bradenton, Florida

Mike and Sully, the two heroes from Pixar/Disney's MONSTERS INC. are back in this short film about Mike's new car. At first, Mike is very, very proud of it, but over time, more and more and more goes wrong--and in the process poor Mike and Sully are bashed to pieces by their overly-gadgeted car.

I saw this film recently in the new DVD of Pixar animated shorts and while it was very pleasant and funny, I was rather shocked to find out it was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Short Subject--which it lost to the better short film THE CHUBBCHUBBS! Now this isn't knocking MIKE'S NEW CAR--it's well executed and fun. However, it just isn't special enough to be considered much other than perhaps a DVD extra.

See CHUBBCHUBBS!
