Monsters, Inc.

Continuity mistake: When Boo is in Mike and Sully's house, there's a "jazz" poster on the wall near the door, but when Boo is crying, it's gone.

Continuity mistake: After Boo falls asleep, when Sully says, "Hey Mike this might sound strange, but I don't think that kid's dangerous," Mike adjusts the lamp on the desk making the right bulb lower than the left. Next shot, as Mike turns, the right bulb is now higher than the left.

Continuity mistake: In Sully's bed, Boo is afraid of the closet, and there are many drawings in the bed, but when she shows the drawing of Randall, the others are gone. They come back when she goes to sleep.

Continuity mistake: When Mike takes the toilet paper off his feet, it's lying on the floor in the hallway. But when his girlfriend comes and yells to him, it's gone.

Continuity mistake: When Mike and Sully are in the ice cave, and Mike is starting to throw the a Snowball before Sully says, "None of it matters anymore" the snowball turns from yellow to white for a few seconds, and then back to yellow.

Continuity mistake: During the scene on the scare floor, there is a world map above the entrance. To the right of the map are two signs that read STAND BY and SCARE. In some shots, the signs change from written words, to symbols of a monster standing still (STAND BY) and roaring (SCARE). This only occurs in the international version.

Continuity mistake: When Randall catches Mike and tells him that he has half an hour to put Boo in her door he also says the door will be in his station. Later we see that the door is on station 5. But on the first day Mike and Sully are working on station 5 and Randall is on station 6.

Continuity mistake: Waternoose grabs a scream can and starts releasing all the energy and the red line starts to go down. There are white lines over sections of the can. When he begins to release the energy, right at the very end of the first shot, the red line that goes down has not yet reached the first white line. In the very next shot, the red line has suddenly passed the white line.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: After Mike sprays his eye with the disinfectant it goes red, but just after he snatches the doll from Boo, his eye is fine again, and then goes back to being red for the rest of the scene.

Continuity mistake: The scare chart shows a picture of the scarer and the number totals. In the shot that shows Mike repeatedly taking out tanks whilst Sulley is scaring the child, the names of the people have suddenly appeared next to the pictures of the scarers that weren't even there in previous or following shots. This only happens in the international version.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie when Waternoose "calls" for Boo's door along with the CDA, it arrives into the factory on the "outgoing" door track.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Mike and Sully are in the locker room after a day of scaring, discussing plans for the evening, George Sanderson's assistant is seen in the lower left side of the screen, having difficulties removing his helmet. In the scene immediately after, Mike and Sully are walking down a large hallway that leads to the Monsters Inc. main lobby. George's assistant is seen in the background in the hallway, wearing his helmet. Even in the shot where Roz is inquiring about Mike's paperwork in the lobby, the assistant is still seen crossing the lobby in the background, wearing his helmet.

Continuity mistake: When Mike is performing his standup routine in a boy's room near the end of the film, his eye quickly switches from green to blue, and then back to green right before he says "your room."

Continuity mistake: When Sully and Mike are practising, their chairs are switched. Sully's is on the right Mike's is the left. When they sit to watch the commercial, they are switched back.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When we first see Waternoose, he says a single touch of a child could kill them. A yellow guy throws his pencil and pad forwards out of his hands. When Waternoose walks over to the three people, the pencil and pad has moved to the right of the yellow guy without ever being touched.

Question: At the end of the movie, Fungus is seen amongst the employees promoting doing fun stuff, but since he is seen assisting Randall, and generally helping him and Waternoose with the scream machine earlier on, shouldn't he have been banished (like Randall) or hauled off by the CDA (like Waternoose) when the whole plan came to the CDA's attention?

Answer: Fungus was an unwilling lackey, not a co-conspirator.
