It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Excellent adaptation.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Party Central is a fun animated short shown in the cinemas with Muppets Most Wanted and takes place after the events of Monsters University.Mike and Sulley go to Monsters University to see how their Oozma Kappa fraternity brothers are doing. The answer is not too well as no one has shown up for their first party.Mike and Sulley liven it up using a borrowed portal door to sneak into the party at the rival fraternities and steal its food and guests to get their party started and then to keep it swinging.They regularly go through the wardrobe doors of a married couple's bedroom that disturbs them and leads to a hilarious end credit gag.As with other Pixar shorts the quality of the animation and voice work is very good and kids will find this enjoyable.

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.

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.

. . . the short that also ran this month before the MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN cartoon feature. That piece of c*&$, titled ABOUT HOME, was so embarrassingly deficient in entertainment value and so widely castigated on this site and others, that no one even is allowed to review it anymore anywhere on the internet (except in a back-door sort of way, like this). That's because of a series of recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions which state that only DOLLARS have free speech rights in today's America, NOT people (this is sometimes referred to as the "Money Talks Doctrine"). PARTY CENTRAL is so much better than ABOUT HOME because it has a beginning (Mike & Sully's frat pledge party is a dud), middle (let's steal someone else's party through the clever use of monster-to-human doorways), and end (Greatest Frat Party EVER!!). It even has a "denoument" (to satisfy any Francophiles in the audience), with Timmy's parents complaining to their son that they have monsters in their closet. Six thumbs up! (Too bad the MUPPETS MOST WANTED feature which followed PARTY CENTRAL was not quite as good.)
