"Stealing the Party" clip

Mike and Sulley are visiting Monsters University for the weekend to see how their Oozma Kappa-brothers are doing. The fraternity is throwing their first party, but no one's shown up to it yet—but fortunately for them, Mike and Sulley (who had a feeling that something like the lack of party guests would happen) have a plan to liven up OK's house party. Using a borrowed door station, they sneak into a party at the Roar Omega Roar fraternity and steal all of its food, drinks and guests to fill the Oozma Kappa house (as Mike and Sulley put it, "We're not just gonna throw the biggest party of the year—we're gonna steal it!"). The supply runs take them through the closet doors of a married couple's bedroom, repeatedly disturbing their sleep. Johnny Worthington III eventually arrives at ROR's party, only to find it empty. 

Once they have the party fully stocked, Scott "Squishy" Squibbles' mother, Sheri, walks in on it while doing a load of laundry. She is angry with the fraternity, but only because they did not invite her. She also sees the door and thinks the Oozma Kappas are "door jamming". Squishy tries to deny everything at first until he asks what door jamming is. After lighting a bonfire on the front lawn with a scream canister, Sheri introduces the crowd to door jamming. This involves her jumping from the roof and landing safely on the lawn after passing through the two doors, to the human couple's terror, who woke up to the explosion of the bonfire Sheri made when she lit it up. Everyone cheers for Sheri, with the guests now wanting to pledge to Oozma Kappa as they had put together such a great party.

In a post-credits scene, the now scared husband and wife wake up their young son, Timmy, and ask if they can sleep with him for the night. They say that there are monsters in their closets, to which Timmy (who somehow had seen monsters hiding in his closet before) vehemently replies, "That's what I've been trying to tell you!"

Release

Party Central was made to be included on the home video release of Monsters University, but was given a theatrical release instead.[2][4][5] The short premiered at the D23 Expo 2013.[1] It was set to be released with the theatrical release of The Good Dinosaur. After The Good Dinosaur was pushed back to November 2015, there had been no official word on when the short would be released. On January 7, 2014, it was announced that it would be theatrically released with Muppets Most Wanted.[2]

Rating

Party Central has received a PG rating from the MPAA for "some reckless behavior", unlike the two Monsters, Inc. films which are both rated G.[6] It is Pixar's first PG-rated short, and also the third animated short film owned by Disney to have that rating after 1990's Roger Rabbit short film Roller Coaster Rabbit and 2003's Destino,[7] as well as Pixar's first PG-rated film to not star a human (besides Mom, Dad and Timmy).
