Center
Primary
The film's central narrative critiques corporate greed and an unsustainable, fear-based energy system, advocating for empathy and a more benevolent, sustainable solution, which aligns with progressive values.
Monsters, Inc. features a diverse array of monster characters, but its voice cast is predominantly traditional. The narrative focuses on themes of friendship and corporate responsibility within a monster society, without critiquing or explicitly addressing traditional human identities or DEI themes.
Secondary
Monsters, Inc. does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story centers on the adventures of Sulley and Mike Wazowski in the monster world, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The film features female characters such as Boo, Celia Mae, and Roz. While Boo does contribute to the defeat of Randall, her methods involve her unique scream-generating ability and touch, which do not align with the criteria of skill, strength, or martial arts in direct physical combat. No other female characters engage in or win physical combat against male opponents.
Monsters, Inc. is an original animated film with characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material or historical record from which characters' genders could have been altered.
Monsters, Inc. is an original animated film with no prior source material or historical figures. Its characters were created for this film, thus there is no established race to be swapped from.
