Mike's New Car is a 2002 animated short film (4 minutes) directed by Pete Docter and Roger L. Gould. It is one of the Pixar Shorts, a follow-up to the feature Monsters, Inc., and was originally released as an extra on the Monsters, Inc. DVD.In this short, Mike shows Sulley a new six wheeled car he bought. Unfortunately for Mike, he is not very familiar with the various features of his new car. A series of comic hijinks ensue, as Mike winds up locking himself out, Sulley accidentally closes the hood on Mike's fingers, Mike gets trapped in the engine compartment, the windshield wipers malfunction, and the whole situation goes from bad to worse.Especially notable for the DVD Commentary on the short, which is done by the young children of the creators. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: The car's automatic seat recliners start malfunctioning. Outside, a pedestrian nervously runs away from the visibly shaking car. | |

| Mike's New Car / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: "Don't! Touch! Anything! I'll do it." One button sends the car into chaos until he eventually stops it by pulling the key out of the ignition. Sulley tries to readjust the car's mirror after it was earlier knocked by his head. He ends up accidentally breaking it off. "Hmm... that's weird. The airbag didn't go off." Cue the airbag exploding. | |

Cool, but Inefficient | |
| Mike's New Car / int_2cb9b1a9 | comment |
Cool, but Inefficient: The car. It looks cool and has 6-wheel drive, but it has so many buttons and knobs on its control panel that getting it to move is a pain. Not to mention that once Mike finally gets the car to start, it crashes almost immediately. | |

Cool Car | |
| Mike's New Car / int_8a295a46 | comment |
Cool Car: The new car, at least on the surface, has a sleek design with multiple spoilers and 6-wheel drive, and a control panel with a huge variety of features. Unfortunately, Mike can't figure out how to operate it for most of the short, and when he finally starts it up it immediately crashes. | |

Offscreen Crash: Mike orders Sulley to get out of the car. The camera stays focused on Sulley while Mike begins to drive away, but immediately loses control. A large crash is heard, followed by six hubcaps (six-wheel drive) and Sulley catching Mike as if he was a shooting star. | |
