action

Mike has bought a new car and is presenting it to Sulley. But he's not very impressed. After getting in, he provokes Mike's first fit of anger by playing intensely with the extremely flexible seat adjustment. After starting the engine, Mike, unlike Sulley, has problems with the seat belt, falls out of the car when pulling it and locks himself out. Sulley then accidentally opens the hood by pressing a button and pinches Mike's fingers when closing it. After Sully has opened the hood again by pushing a button, Mike falls on the engine, receives various electric shocks and the hood closes again and locks Mike in the engine compartment. Sulley manages to open the hood again so that Mike can leave the engine compartment and close the hood again from the outside.

Mike's mood has not improved as a result of these occurrences. When he then tries to drive off, Mike accidentally activates various service functions simultaneously, including a. Windscreen wipers, radio, fan and seat adjustment. The latter in particular now impressively demonstrates its enormous performance and Mike only succeeds in turning the functions off again after a while. Since Sulley accidentally breaks off the misaligned inside mirror, he is thrown out of the car by the still angry Mike. When Mike, furiously, tries to reverse, but drives off with a kick start, he hits the car against an obstacle. Sulley is a little concerned that the airbag did not activate in the collision. However, this happens a few seconds later so that Sulley can catch Mike flying past him. Mike now wants his old car back.

Awards

The film was nominated for an Oscar in the category Best Animated Short Film in 2003 .
