A small person (or creature) is sitting behind the wheel of a car. A bigger person (or creature) gets in, putting his/its hand/paw directly on the face of the smaller one and pushing him/it across the front seat (maybe accompanied by a funny sound effect) to make room. The big person/creature looks pleased to have the chance to drive.

I thought it might be in Pixar’s _Mike’s New Car_, with Mike and Sully from _Monsters Inc_., but I just saw that, and it’s not.

This sounds vaguely familiar. Are you certain it was CG and not hand drawn?

It also sounds vaguely familiar to me, and I was going to guess _Monsters, Inc._ Any chance it was from _The Muppet Movie_? Did Fozzie push Kermit out of the way to drive the car? Yeah, I know it wasn’t animated.

Didn’t Warner Bros. do bits with a big dog and smaller one. The smaller one was always like, “Surebossok whatever yousayboss!”

My best guess is the movie _Open Season_, about a zoo bear who accompanies a deer back into the wilderness. But I’m not going to watch it to check.

Monsters Inc. has only ever been rendered in CG. So, yes, you did imply it was.

Didn’t THE INCREDIBLES have a tiny car?

I don’t remember any such scene in _The Incredibles_, which I’ve seen many times.

I know the old-timey dogs you’re thinking of and I don’t recall them ever being in a car.

I think I’ve seen the clip in the OP because it sounds very familiar, are you guys sure it isn’t Zootopia? I haven’t seen the movie but I’m picturing that style of animation in my head. Or the one we saw previews for at the movies recently, it’s a cartoon where different animals drive around singing.

What about The Secret Life of Pets, was there a scene like that in there?

I saw \*Zootopia \*and don’t remember that being in it; haven’t seen _The Secret Life of Pets_, but I did see the trailer, and it wasn’t in that, either.

Bumped.

Found it! Just saw _Toy Story 2_ again, and it’s in there. Hamm (the piggy bank) is driving a toy car in Al’s Toy Barn. He pulls up to Mr. Potato Head and Rex, who climb in. Mr. Potato Head pushes Hamm over and takes the wheel. Can’t find it on YouTube, alas.

Not on YouTube, but here nonetheless. About 1:00 in. [Toy Story 2 - 5 Through Al's Toy Barn aisles guide by Barbie](http://www.cornel1801.com/disney/Toy-Story-2-1999/film5.html)

It certainly has its sad moments (Jessie’s song “When She Loved Me” is a certified tearjerker), but by the end all the toys except the Prospector are welcomed by Andy and will, it’s implied, have many more years of fun together. Which leads us to _Toy Story 3_…
