Minority Report connection
I realized a while back that both movies are about people who depend on beings with unique abilities, but soon someone realizes that we hurt them in the process...
Precogs: Able to foresee murders, allowing them to be prevented; but its torture for the three kids who only dream about murder.
Kids: Kids' screams provide power for all of Monstropolis; but the kids live in fear of the monsters from their closets.
Always something I thought was kinda cool.
Brother Maynard, bring forth the holy hand grenade!
