Nathan Davis Monsters Inc.

Monsters Inc. is a movie that deals with characteristics of monsters that differ greatly from common perceptions of scary monsters. The film is based on myths of monsters coming out of the closet or hiding under the bed to scare little kids. The monsters however, are using the childrens screams to power thier city with electricity. the main character Sully, is the leading scream getter and finds himself on a journey to say the little human girl Boo. during his journey he encounters a number of obstacles such as competing monsters trying to further scare Boo, secret agents who are terrified at the notion of a human being in the underworld, or monster realm. There is a great deal of mysticism involved in the movie, a few examples would be the doors serving as a passageway for both humans and monsters to go through. the sheer concept of monsters coming through the closet is mysterious and the fact that screams can serve as a power source for a whole city is a crazy thought. Although the movie is for little kids and its animated it shows a ton of examples of mystery.
