On one side, Monsters, Inc. is a family comedy with an interesting plotline and relatable characters. For example, Sully begins the film focused on achieving the scare record.

As the film progresses and Sully becomes closer to Boo he starts to see the effect that scaring has on the children and realizes that being the best is not worth it if you have to ruin other people’s lives in the process.
