The Pixar "All one universe" Theory

missingtime · 15-07-2013 11:10am #1

It's been widely noted that Pixar's characters are littered throughout their movies, however a guy called Jon Negroni has written a piece that suggests that the movies take place at different times in the one universe.

Its far too long to post all of it but here is the link

Every Pixar movie is connected. I explain how, and possibly why. Several months ago, I watched a fun-filled video on Cracked.com that introduced the idea (at least to me) that all of the Pixar movies actually exist within the same universe. Since then, I’ve obsessed over this concept, working to complete what I call “The Pixar Theory,” a working narrative that ties all of the Pixar movies into one cohesive timeline with a main theme. This theory covers every Pixar production since Toy Story. That includes:

A Bug’s Life
Toy Story 2
Monsters Inc.
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
Cars
Ratatouille
Wall-E
Up
Toy Story 3
Cars 2
Brave
Monsters University

Every movie is connected and implies major events that influence every single movie. Here we go. [SIDE NOTE: All text in blue indicate updated edits since the original version] Brave is the first and last movie in the timeline. Obviously, this movie about a Scottish kingdom during the Dark Ages is the earliest time period covered by the Pixar films, but it’s also the only Pixar movie that actually explains why animals in the Pixar universe behave like humans sometimes.
