* EliminationHoudini: The Oozma Kappa team fits this trope very well despite not being in a reality TV show. At the start, they clearly did ''not'' have the skills to compete with the other fraternities and, were it not for one fraternity being caught cheating, would have been eliminated right off the bat. While Roar Omega Roar continues to outclass them, they continue to make it to the final round by beating just ''one'' team. When they finally get their act together, [[spoiler:with the exception of Mike and Sulley,]] they ''do'' show the other students that they are Scarer material.

** Mike Wazowski is portrayed as awesome, determined, and a smart leader in ''University''. However, he's more of a whiny, bitter, and clumsy ButtMonkey in ''[[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Inc.]]''. Being Sulley's scare trainer still puts him in something of an authority position.

* {{Applicability}}: Due to the themes of coping with disappointment, many neurodivergent and physically disabled audience members have been appreciative of the movie's theme. Mike's problem of "not being scary" is treated as an actual disability and fans relate to his frustrations of being hindered by something beyond his control.

** That poor slug who spends the ''entire movie'' trying to get to school, only to realize he missed the entire school year by the time he arrived. That means a couple of students and staff members would have had to pass by him as he was slowly moving, and yet nobody bothered to come to his aid to bring him to his class.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: A minor example. Some fans [[FridgeHorror expressed concern]] that [[spoiler:Monsters Inc. switching to Laugh energy would force Scarers to either adjust to the new system or be out of a job]]. The end credits of this film establish that there are other scaring companies aside from Monsters Inc., such as Fear Co. and Scream Industries, that still collect Scream energy, [[spoiler:indicating that the monsters who can't adjust to the change are still able to use their years of Scaring experience elsewhere]].

zero-context, "some consider" is meaningless word cruft and usually signifies an invalid example

** People who've seen the cartoon ''WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters'' along with ''Monsters Inc.'' might get the idea that both the cartoon and the film have similar plot settings since both involve monsters who need to scare in order to collect energy for their society. Come ''Monsters University'', the setting is even more similar to the cartoon as it involves monsters going to school in order to learn how to scare. Mike and Sulley even fill out roles similar to two of the three main characters of the cartoon. A super studious and hardworking student that relies heavily on books, and another student who is generally lazy but pressured with living up to the family legacy of being the best scarers.
