It turns out that the Toy Story world isn’t the only Pixar property the studio wants to continue to explore. After last year’s hit Monsters University, the Disney-owned studio is bringing back Mike and Sully for a short film called Party Central. It will debut in theaters with Muppets Most Wanted.
Disney just posted a a 40-second clip from the short, which centers on a party at the Oozma Kappa fraternity house. We learn that monsters love pizza as much as humans.
Slash Film notes that the full short was shown at the D23 convention last year and was originally planned to be the short attached to The Good Dinosaur. However, that film has been delayed until 2015, leaving no new Pixar film on the 2014 release schedule. So, Disney opted to attach Party Central to Muppets Most Wanted.
John Goodman, Billy Crystal, Charlie Day and Peter Sohn are back to voice their characters again. It was directed by University story supervisor Kelsey Mann. The studio has also released a poster for the film with the tag line “The Party Must Go On.”

Muppets Most Wanted hits theaters on March 21.
