The monsters scare kids and use the fear like electricity to power things.

They even had those warm fuzzy power company like commercials.

I thought, "The media are honest about what they are doing in a cartoon. Making money from keeping people in a state of fear."

I was disgusted by the movie after I realized how true it was.
