Deliberate mistake: When Boo laughs repeatedly while playing hide-n-seek with Sully in the men's room, nothing happens to the electricity - no surges as with all other times she laughs. [In the audio commentary by the directors, they explained that it would've been distracting if an energy surge occurred every time Boo laughed, so they simply didn't address the issue. A reasonable course of action, but still a mistake.] (00:37:30)

Monsters, Inc. (2001)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Pete Docter, Lee Unkrich, David Silverman
Starring: John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Frank Oz, Billy Crystal, James Coburn, Jennifer Tilly, John Ratzenberger, Bob Peterson, Mary Gibbs
Mike and Sully are banished to the Himalayas, but return, Watrenoose is evil, Roz is the head of the CDA, they have to shred Boo's door after they put her back, Mike puts the door back together for Sully, and Sully opens the door to a happy little giggle. They find out that laughs are ten times more powerful than screams, they start the company again, but this time they make the kids laugh and Mike is the best of the bunch at getting them to laugh.

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?
