details

• Revealing mistakes: Towards the end of the film, when Mike and Sulley meet the CDA "number 00001", several different CDA monsters have the same number, 00112 - the same texture had been used on several models to reduce modeling time.
  
  
• Continuity: In the very first scene, in the kid's room simulator, one angle shows a floor mat with a ball and a toy train set on it. However, when the first monster falls down on the mat, the train is no longer there and in its place are the jacks he falls on. The soccer ball appears to move, too.
  
  
• Continuity: In the international version of the video/DVD several instances of written English text have been replaced with universal symbols (see Alternate Versions). However on several occasions they switch back to the original appearance. For instance: The "Standby/Scare" sign in the factory, the "Contamination alert" on the video wall during the first 2319 and the joke on the video wall in the final scene.
  
  

• Plot holes: Sulley makes Boo giggle a few times when they play hide and seek in the restroom, but the power never spikes and no lights blow out. (According to the commentary on the DVD, the creators realized this but chose not to address it.)
  
  
• Continuity: In the opening scene when the monster comes through the door, he closes the door most of the way, but when the instructor does a review of what the student did wrong, the door is left mostly open.
  
  
• Continuity: The scoreboard on the video wall sometimes shows decreased values for some monsters, for instance when Waternoose talks to Jerry and just before the first 2319.
  
  
• Continuity: When Mike walks away after congratulating Celia (in the beginning of the film) he passes a marking in the floor. In the next shot, viewed from above, he is much nearer her than in the shot before, which can be seen by the floor markings.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Mike is talking to Roz about his paper work, Mike's lip crosses through the counter at one point.
  
  
• Continuity: When we see Mike wake up Sulley in the beginning, we see Sulley's alarm clock on his right-hand night stand, but later when Boo jumps into Sulley's bed the alarm clock is not there.
  
  
• Continuity: When Sulley goes to put Boo back in her room, the clock above the door of the scare floor clearly indicates 5:50; when he runs out of the room it indicates 6:50.
  
  
• Plot holes: In the scene where Randall thinks that Sully is watching him on the scare floor, he pauses and sneezes. Randall doesn't have a nose, so he can't sneeze.
  
  
• Continuity: When Waternoose congratulates Sully on an 'impressive display' of scaring, different shaped monsters are just coming in to shot to walk past behind Sully. The shot cuts to Waternoose and then back to Sully in just a couple of seconds and the monsters behind him have gone.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: On the Scare Floor scoreboard, all of the characters except for Randall (Boggs) are listed by last name.
  
  
• Factual errors: In the first scene of the movie in the child's bedroom an alphabet border wraps around the room. In the border the letter J is backwards.
