Mike Wazowski
Mike is a green sphere with one eye and two legs, which is close to the minimum a character can be and still be expressive — and the animators used that constraint well, because with no separate head there is nothing to nod, so all his body language comes from the whole shape tilting. The prequel is the more interesting film about him: Monsters University is a story about someone who wants something badly, works harder than everyone around him, and turns out not to be good enough at it, which is an unusual message for a children's film and the studio did not soften it.

Who is Mike Wazowski?
Mike is a green sphere with one eye and two legs, which is close to the minimum a character can be and still be expressive — and the animators used that constraint well, because with no separate head there is nothing to nod, so all his body language comes from the whole shape tilting. The prequel is the more interesting film about him: Monsters University is a story about someone who wants something badly, works harder than everyone around him, and turns out not to be good enough at it, which is an unusual message for a children's film and the studio did not soften it. He ends the film having found a different route rather than having proved the doubters wrong. Billy Crystal had turned down the part of Buzz Lightyear years earlier and has said taking this one was partly making up for it.

Why Mike Wazowski endures
One of animation's most extreme demonstrations of how little a character design needs, and the lead of a rare children's film that lets its protagonist be genuinely insufficient.
What Mike Wazowski looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: A green sphere with a single large eye, two horns and thin limbs
One of the most reducible designs in the whole catalogue — a green circle with one eye. It reads at any size, works as a single-colour cut-out, and is the reason Mike appears on more small-format merchandise than Sulley does.
