Horst in Translation ([email protected]) I have to say I quite enjoyed the two Monster's films so far, also the new one about university life. This one tells us a bit more about partying on the campus. Mike and Sully use one of these portal doors to lure the guests from another party to their party. The antagonists are once again this other sorority with the cool guys. Unfortunately the humor is not too great in these 5 minutes here. The only thing I found funny about this one was the mom, who seems so harmless and then proves to be a huge party animal. Still, it's all fairly generic and predictable and lacks the charm of the feature films. Kelsey Mann directed this one and many of the famous Pixar directors started working on short films. If he becomes one of them, I truly hope he can step things up soon. Not a great watch by any means. The only somewhat good thing is that they got all the actors from the "real" films to appear in here as well. Still that's almost a given these days. Loud yes. Interesting nope. Thumbs down.

tavm This Pixar short, which takes place not long after Monster University, concerns a frat party that Mike and Sully organize for their friends. The 5 minutes that this runs for has a nice premise for such length and provides a funny enough ending. Nice to hear the entire cast for MU here especially Billy Crystal and John Goodman as those characters I mentioned at the beginning of this review. Since I need 10 lines for this to be submitted on this site, I'll also mention when I watched this with my movie theatre-working friend, the auditorium lights were on for a few minutes which marred the experience a bit but by the time of the climax, it was dark enough and made the final gag such a great surprise! So on that note, me and my friend very much liked Party Central.

Hellmant 'PARTY CENTRAL': Three Stars (Out of Five) The second Pixar animated short in the 'MONSTERS, INC.' film series. It takes place shortly after 'MONSTERS UNIVERSITY' and tells the story of Mike and Sully (once again voiced by Billy Crystal and John Goodman) helping their Oozma Kappa frat brothers throw a party. They come up with the plan of using a 'door station' to sneak into parties, at other fraternities, and steal guests and refreshments (while passing them through the bedroom of a sleeping couple). It also features the voice talents of actors Sean Hayes, Dave Foley, Charlie Day, Joel Murray, Julia Sweeney and Peter Sohn and was written and directed by longtime storyboard artist Kelsey Mann. It's 5 minutes long and plays in theaters before 'MUPPETS MOST WANTED'. I found it to be amusing enough but not up to par with what I usually expect from most Pixar short films. I have seen a lot worse animated movies though and I'm sure most fans of the 'MONSTERS, INC.' franchise will enjoy it.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2NdCvPRYk4

FilmBuff1994 Party Central is a very funny,quick and very enjoyable short film.It shows before Muppets Most Wanted and really warms you up and gets you excited for the feature film.I didn't know this short film was coming,and I usually do before I see the movie,and it was a very pleasant surprise,I was very happy to see these characters again,even if it was just for a few minutes,and was very impressed that they got Billy Crystal and John Goodman to record dialogue for Mike and Sully.Party Central is a few minutes of fun and comedy that fans of Monsters Inc and Monsters University should really appreciate.When their college friends throw a house party that no one shows up to,Mike and Sully go against school rules in order to get people to go to the party.
