MONSTERS AT WORK is a comedy that brings together some of the most famous icons in film history, such as the werewolf, Frankenstein’s Monster, and The Count (vampire). The idea of real-life monsters living among humans is a fun and enjoyable concept.
The story conveys how even monsters have to struggle for a living and have personal issues. The story is also driven by the themes of tolerance and acceptance. Not everyone in this make-believe world accepts the monsters. This is certainly a nice setup for conflict, tension, character growth, and it sets up the story to send a special message about accepting people and creatures that feel different.

Once the climax occurs the story needs to wrap up quickly. A nice ending is to have the party where all the monsters gather.
There are several subplots, but because there are so many, none of them get fully developed. Consider streamlining the subplots.
Frankenstein’s (remember the doctor is Frankenstein, not the monster) story is never fully relatable. The Count has a strong goal: love, but he needs further development as a character. It’s not clear why he can go out into the sunshine. The troll story never emotionally engages and this could be eliminated. The “Emily” secret monster story isn’t fully developed, but there something interesting about a mysterious monster. The visual of Emily as monster is very cute.
However, what’s missing is creating stronger relationships and friends among the monsters. One wants to see them interact more often and discuss the relevant issues of being a monster in a human-dominated society.
The family dynamics also need to be more fully explored among Marty, his wife, and the kids. Create more conflict and, as mentioned, maybe Marty ends up alienating or neglecting them, putting his marriage at
