Ok, sure somebody's going to mention this, might as well be me. Pixar gave a sneak peak at...ok...sneak peek...of a short...that was going to be on a DVD...instead being attached to a movie that has nothing to do with the original or the franchise AT ALL and... Let's just say it was Disney's move to get people to see the new Muppet movie (aside from Muppet fans. Don't know, did "The Muppets" come up short?) Anyway, on to the clip. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R0CUnloLNoGot mine off youtube. Ok, at a guess, we're coming in a few minutes later into the short, considering the two are ALREADY up with a plan to fix the OKs party. Guessing that earlier, they come for the welcomes, get the party prepared, no one comes, then the two show up in the clip we see. First off...Wazowski has his retainer back? Didn't he dump that way early in MU? Terry (or was it Terri...) and the little horn blow was kind of funny...people have been to these types of parties after all heh heh. It's actually kind of...mean...that Sullivan remarks that "we thought this would happen", like the OKs aren't at least in alright standing after the events of the Scare Games. Ok, sure, they lost because a member cheated...maybe that's why...that and the two were nearly brought up on criminal charges. Still...bad-boys in a geek fraternity, increased reputation isn't out the window. WOW...I know it was in the description but heh heh...Sullivan and Wazowski really ARE a couple of criminals aren't they heh? But not just one door, but two. Not to mention the fact these two doors are linked to each other (makes sense, as that's how door stations work), which means these two got doors that may have been fresh off the assembly line as it were. (And no, nobody would allow them to borrow them, especially for such a reason. Would cost them their jobs.) People of the past...think Randall's the criminal? Sullivan and Wazowski were getting away with a bunch of serious stuff way before he touched into that territory heh. You know, for some reason, the music in the RORs SLIGHTLY resemble the tune of "jingle bells". Forgot when MU came out on DVD...was that October or November? Well whichever, kind of goes with the theme that Party Central was SUPPOSE to come out with the DVD, considering it came out near the end of the year. PNK girls, Big Red, that George-looking guy (father?) that was beside Ms. Squiggles during the final Scare Game...nope, no Randall from what I can see (which is difficult with the flashing lights and purple/pink/blue colors floating all about). Which is good, keeps things correct. I want to give special notice to that guy near the middle that looks like a green oval wearing an MU cap. He just stands there and moves by the waist with his arms going all limp like he's having a fit or something. Seriously, is that dancing? Well guess you can get away with anything with loud music and flashing balls. Oh yes, a little more at the main article here: news.moviefone.com/2014/02/10/pixar-party-central-video-photos-director-kelsey-mann/Have to wonder why Ms. Squiggles (ok, maybe I get the name wrong, rather busy finishing other things) looks so shocked...thought an earlier article/description hinted that SHE put the idea forward (probably prompting a double take from everyone in the room). You know, in the Q&A bit...Kelsey Mann mentions a gag at the ending being brought back. Something makes me think this involves Wazowski's head being blocked by something or another. Well that's pretty much it. Attached to Muppets Most Wanted (or something along those lines) coming out in...March I believe. Back to work I go!

I saw this earlier today and was going to post, but you beat me to it, lol! I, too, realized that Mike and Sulley have been BREAKING THE LAW for quite some time! Mike broke into MI's property in MU, actually had a set of bolt cutters just for that purpose, which is actually grounds for arrest here in SC is the police have any reason to suspect you have been using them as a burglary tool. And now, they apparently steal a door station for "Party Central", but we're supposed to believe that RANDALL is the "Bad Guy"? Seems these two have a long history of breaking the law and getting away with it. Also found out that the short is rated PG, the first in Pixar's history to get higher than a G-rating, and it apparently has something to do with some "shenanigans" that Sheri Squibbles witnesses, and knowing her, it must be pretty "NSFW" to get that shocked a reaction from the Queen of Thrash Metal, lol!

*chuckles* Not a contest, but I like supplying info if I can. Like with the Target thing, hopefully saved people money. I have a thought that those doors may have come from either MI's R&D division or...actually...from MU. Unsure what happened to that keycard Wazowski lifted, but considering the room got BLASTED in by the C.D.A sometime before, it may have needed remodeling. Setting them to link to each other may have required some knowledge on the subject (which Wazowski MAY have had), or they had been set to each other already for educational means. (which may make more sense, as in a demonstration class, in which case, they may have just broken into a classroom rather than someone secure. (considering the doors link to each other and not a child's room, they would, despite expensive, be less dangerous.)
I'm...sure Pixar is not going to de-grade their material to big vulgarity...but uses the PG rating to cover for anything that might be taken that way. Chugging brews for instance (or Blort rather), may not be something critics or whatever would see in a G, even if it is "fantasy" covered.

Oh,my, looks like we hath ourselves a troll on board. If you don't want to discuss Pixar movies and characters, darling, why the HECK are you HERE? Is "Pixar movie" supposed to be synonymous with "poor quality, not worthy of discussion, only for little kids"? Really?

First off...Wazowski has his retainer back? Didn't he dump that way early in MU? Maybe Wazowski put his retainer back now that he knows he's not going to be an actual scarer? Since that was really his reason for removing it to begin with? I have to say though that the idea of monsters wearing retainers to begin with is rather strange to me since you'd think that maybe they would want crooked teeth, since that could look more scary in some way?

Retainers aren't supposed to be worn all the time, anyway. You're supposed to take them out to eat(no one wants to know how many times my family and I had to go back to some restaurant after eating out, after getting all the way home, to retrieve MY retainer back in the day, lol), and you're supposed to gradually reduce the amount of time per day that you wear that thing until you're finally given the clear to toss it. If you take it out too long, too soon, you might find yourself having to have braces again because those teeth will move back right where they were in the first place.
It's kinda odd that we see ads for making teeth yellow or crooked in MU, and yet ALL of the monsters have beautiful, perfect white sparkly teeth! Mike's teeth in both movies are straight, and in MI he tells Sulley, "scary monsters don't have plaque!" You would think that for a furry monster, having a scraggly, messy coat would make them scarier, but I doubt even a professional dog groomer with many years of experience grooming the world's top show dogs could get a dog's coat to be as shiny and healthy as Johnny's fur is, so there seems to be a bit of a double standard there.

There is the matter of staying healthy. You can't scare someone with your big sharp teeth if they've all rotted and fallen out. A furry monster would probably be prone to flea infestations if they didn't keep it reasonably well groomed. I guess they wouldn't want that, it would be uncomfortable to say the least and possibly harmful to health if it was really bad.

It's been so long but yeah, I didn't constantly wear it either. Eventually I would just wear it to sleep. There is the matter of staying healthy.

I guess they wouldn't want that, it would be uncomfortable to say the least and possibly harmful to health if it was really bad. I never felt like retainers were to prevent your teeth from rotting though....it was just to straighten them out. It didn't have anything to do with keeping them clean. I mean it's true that way back in the day when my teeth were really crooked though they were a bit harder to clean just because it was harder to get the toothbrush between overlapping teeth to clean them as well.

This just in, Party Central's second clip. Ok...how many times has a SHORT...gotten CLIPS? I mean honestly, how often does that happen? One, yes, but two? And talked about so much? www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAUDXAyESdYAnyway... This clip is actually sorta coming of the first one. Almost directly after it. Still no Randall, thankfully keeping true. But as I guessed before, I have the suspicion about the couple that Sullivan is using to steal (yes, his words). Still analyzing...but to anybody who's seen Family Guy's episode with James Woods will get a good laugh.

You know, for someone who freaks out around humans, Sullivan is just SO calm with this plan. I mean he screams like a girl (no offense intended) when confronted with...well...a little girl. And that's when he's older and ACTUALLY a scarer. Sure, he's being cautious but...they're dragging a WHOLE party through...not to mention that, AT LEAST, at one end, there IS a raging party going on (though to the credit, the door may have been placed far enough away from the pounding music and flashing lights). Still...who's to say some of those monsters won't trip up the parents eh?
Huh...you know...why these doors are linked to a parent's bedroom AT ALL is strange...MI and MU wouldn't have such dangerous doors, and considering if they did...they'd be locked up and sealed. JUST how far did these two go for a party? Also, notice the flower motifs around? Good, you'll get there.
A little wonder about the closet doors...I'm guessing the bedroom door is at the camera, so we don't see that, and the two doors are separate closets. The only way I can figure it making sense considering closets are, generally, the link. No big, except with the above.
It may be the soft-drinker in me, but those soda cans look a lot like MD's Kickstarter. Rarely, I agree with the two, that is goooood.
Ok, another party scene. Jeez, these are a nightmare to look through... The JOKs are there...seems their cheating at the games didn't get them kicked out. Spaz guy! Your back. Dead center, orange monster, standing still but wiggling. That guy is just...funny. Dancing really... That girl with the glasses who was in one of the MU commercials is in there.. The PNKs take their signature group over there to the right. And yeah, groups like that at parties thinking girls are in to them...think 70% of the time...they're not heh.
And now a James Woods joke. "Oooh! A piece of pizza! Oooh! A piece of pizza! Oooh! A piece of pizza!" Doesn't Art sound a little different to you by the way? Plus...why move the door? Guessing you can't lure EVERYBODY in by pizza. Still...pizza does the job eh? Hehehe.

Still analyzing...but to anybody who's seen Family Guy's episode with James Woods will get a good laugh. You're right; it's unprecedented for an animated short to get so much publicity, and to get not one but TWO preview clips! I haven't even seen any trailers for The Muppets Most Wanted yet, the movie that Party Central precedes, just a commercial for a Toyota SUV featuring the Muppets that they show during coverage of the NASCAR races. So, we've seen Mike willfully break into MI property and vandalize their fence in MU, plus he breaks into the Door Research Lab at the college, and now he and Sulley are stealing everything and everyone from the ROR's party...but we're supposed to believe that there are two fine, upstanding citizens and role models, while Randall is the bad one? I'm still betting that the sleeping human couple turns out to be the Gibbs, though. pitbulllady

I've seen trailers for MMW. Involving Kermits...cousin...or...whatever, who's some kind of criminal. Considering his mannerisms...might be slightly dark. But yeah, seems PC is getting more hype than MMW.
I know it's for comedy. I KNOW that...so throw the concerns and what not out the door for the sake of a laugh. That's fine, that's ok...but lets remember there's an other side to things. That said, moving on... Not only that...but to make sense...they did more than that here. First, stealing a party which is just...sad. Sure, help the OKs...but still. Ok, maybe it IS Sullivan's fault after all...he CONFESSED to cheating, disqualifying the entire fraternity. Sure, they all got back into the Scare Program...but you think a thing like that matters to students? As we see, nope. OKs throw a party, but ROR are still top dogs. So there's an obligation here, I understand, he's aiming to make some amends. Why Wazowski is there, I dunno...maybe there is still some ROR dislike after all...
To DO this, they got two human doors. That alone is a crime. These aren't things you take home to study. These are manufactured, linked, and enhanced by expensive electronics and gadgets that make what they do possible. These things LINK WORLDS. Not exactly something that's going to be handed out to every student with a library card. There's two places to get these. Monsters University. Now, it's been awhile, who knows if the collection room (near end of MU) was permanently locked down by CDA or remodeled or what...and doubt Wazowski's STOLEN ID card would still work. So, either they stole somebody ELSE'S doors (think there was either a class or special group that made them)...or found one in lock-up or something. This though...is unlikely.
These doors go to a PARENTS room, NOT a child's, and even more so...it's TWIN doors to the SAME room. Yes, debate on, perhaps, if adult humans give more screams or whatever. MAYBE that was being tested out in the R&D division...but given the danger-to-gain ratio, it would fall through. Now doors like these sound more like something in lock-up at Monsters Inc. If so, that means the two...who either have JUST started working there or JUST got a few years in (think it's the former, I can't remember)...BROKE into a highly secure area (given where the doors go) and STOLE BOTH doors.
I mean...honestly, why these doors exist seems farfetched. The two definitely got them illegally given how just plain dangerous they are (enhanced even more so about where they go). And the plan to use them just to lure people into a party is...kind of reckless and stupid. I hear "power trio" a lot...and given this...these two NEED Randall to actually be a voice of intelligence and reason (ok, yeah, he got into some heavy stuff himself...but still had the foresight to try and out the other two).
And there ya go, somebody listens. That's my theory as well. Way back...I believe somebody at Pixar claimed to connect Boo somehow...and that the end of PC was suppose to be that. Pretty much seems open-and-shut, but I'm still open till the end heh. Though it is interesting that the two are connected to Boo way back...I actually had a theory a long time ago that Randall had an encounter like that...

err does anyone know if it's confirmed Randall gets a cameo at all in this short? It'd be good to have some new animation of him.

Steve Buscemi is not listed in any of the voice credits I've seen thus far, and honestly having Randall there, unless he just sorta shows up in the background somewhere and doesn't really have a role at all, wouldn't make sense in light of how things went with the Scare Games. He MIGHT be in there, but as of yet it does not appear that he will. pitbulllady
