Overview
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.

Primary
The film is an apolitical comedic short centered on a character's personal struggle with an overly complicated new car, with no discernible promotion of specific political ideologies or values.
The animated short film features monster characters, which precludes direct application of human racial or gender diversity metrics. The narrative focuses on a comedic situation with a new car and does not engage with themes related to traditional human identities or explicit DEI concepts.
Secondary
Mike's New Car is a comedic short film centered on two male characters, Mike and Sulley, and their misadventures with a new car. The narrative does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or explore any related themes, focusing solely on slapstick humor and character interaction.
The short film "Mike's New Car" focuses on Mike Wazowski and Sulley's comedic struggles with a new car's features. It does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This short film features established characters Mike Wazowski and Sulley, both of whom retain their original male gender as portrayed in their debut film, "Monsters, Inc." There are no instances of characters whose gender was previously established being portrayed as a different gender.
