Mike's New Car
Directed by Pete Docter, Roger Gould
Produced by Pixar
A lighthearted Pixar short about friendship and misadventure, where Mike's pride in his new car becomes the setup for comedic chaos with Sulley.
Mike discovers that being the top-ranking laugh collector at Monsters, Inc. has its benefits – in particular, earning enough money to buy a six-wheel-drive car that's loaded with gadgets. That new-car smell doesn't last long enough, however, as Sulley jump-starts an ill-fated road test that teaches Mike the true meaning of buyer's remorse.
