Mike's New Car is a 2002 Pixar animated short, starring the two main characters from Monsters Inc., Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan. It was directed by Pete Docter and Roger Gould.
[edit] Synopsis
Mike is obsessed with his new six-wheel drive car, and insists on showing it off to his pal Sulley. Unfortunately for Mike, everything that can go wrong does go wrong, and in the end the two monsters are left with only their own two feet for transportation.
[edit] Notes and comments

- Included in the 2002 DVD release of Monsters Inc.
- The DVD version includes commentary by "Docter and Gould"; instead of being the directors, it is actually their young sons.
