Lying and deception are not automatically gaslighting. No one is made to question their perception or experience.

The antagonist uses the scream extractor on a character, who is shown to be out of breath before passing out. He’s shown later in the film to be fine.

A character holds another character’s arms at an uncomfortable angle at one point, and a slight cracking sound effect is used for emphasis. No lasting damage is done.

One monster puts their eyes into their head, and one pops out - played for comedic effect. Also, an eye falls off of Boo's monster costume. And early in the film Mike is seen putting in a contact lens.

Characters trip over and get tangled up in kids toys a lot for comedic effect. Some get flushed down a toilet. No child is shown to be distressed over this.

No but getting banished is a similar concept and Monsters at Work reveals that the Abominable Snow Monster was banished for an excess period for uncovering Waternoose’s corruption.
