The Mike Thread

I like Mike. I think he’s funny. He can annoy me a little bit though. He is selfish, and I agree with what pitbulllady said. But on the other hand, he is loving and cares about Sully and Celia. He has faults, like everyone else, but he tries hard to overome them in the end, and he ended up saving Sully and making up with Celia.

Yes, I love his redemptions. Especially the door. <3

Mike is funny! Of course, he acts like a jerk and is cowardly when he’s on his own but you know, that’s one of the things I REALLY like about those kind of characters. Makes them more believable, you know. In real life I usually avoid such people but in animation it’s genius… because it makes them appear more ‘real’.

:sunglasses:

I agree with you Badger. I like characters with noticiable faults, that makes them seem more realistic.

I can agree with this statement, its those flaws that make him more realistic to his fans and also thus why he does have so many and you are right, in animation if a company can pull that off then it is pure genius!

I agree with this. His corwardness and attitude actually gives him more character.

I love Mike. He’s definitley the funniest character. And my second favourite character in Monsters Inc. (My favourite is Randall) Billy Crystal does such a good job playing him. I know sometimes he is a bit annoying and comes off as selfish. But for me he always redeems himself :slight_smile: x

I like Mike. He’s actually one of the ways that Pixar had influenced me on this character I was doing [url]http://maniaccomics.deviantart.com/art/Maniac-Mouse-Development-meme-171584191[/url], although it kind of has more to do with the voice than the character because when I was picturing in my head what this character may sound like Billy Crystal’s performance as Mike seemed to fit so well. I just like the sound of his voice and it’s energetic quality.

And pitbulllady made some interesting points that I certainly never thought about before.

Wow, that’s cool, Flik-E!! :slight_smile:

But everyone has faults, even cartoon characters. Mike’s still my6 2nd favorite. :stuck_out_tongue: After Sulley.

Yes, that was one of the most touching parts of the movie for me.

I love Mike. He is my second favourite character from Monsters Inc behind Sulley.
He has his faults but he has his good points too. I think he is the funniest character in Monsters Inc. So I think he is a great character.

THIS is awesome news.

Mike has to be my second favorite Monsters Inc character behind Randall. I did laugh at him at the door scene where he tries to lure Boo with a pencil to go into the woods. Its probably one of my favorite parts from the movie.

Whoa! I’m glad to hear that they’re having a great time and it’s a funny script. [spoil]I can’t wait to see what Mike looks like with a retainer![/spoil]

I think it would also be cool if he had glasses, he switch’s to contact’s later on.

Heehee, how would the glasses stay on?

The things stay on his horns I guess.

Well Mike does some things in the film that are rather questionable/bad at times in my opinion(especially considering that he’s suppose to be one of the ‘good’ guys according to Pixar)…but I don’t hate him. He’s really funny at times.

Members here hate Mike? Why? I like him.

Whaaaa? I love Mike Wazowski!
