Every Pixar movie is connected. I explain how, and possibly why.
In 2012, I watched a 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. Another, longer, title is “The Grand Unifying Theory of Pixar Movies.”
This theory covers every feature-length movie made by Pixar Animation Studios since 1995. They include:
- Toy Story
- 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
- Inside Out (in Part 2)
- The Good Dinosaur (in Part 3)
- Finding Dory (in Part 4)
- Cars 3, Coco, Incredibles 2, and Toy Story 4 will be included in the upcoming book
The point of this theory is to have fun and exercise your imagination while simultaneously finding interesting connections between these fantastic movies. The trick is not take any of it too seriously. If you would like to experience a shorter version of this theory, check out the visualized Pixar Theory Timeline.
In fact, I highly suggest you watch this video I made with Screen Junkies/Fandom below. It more thoroughly lays out this theory and its most complex ideas. It’s also a far more “current” version of the theory compared to the rest of this post. Plus, it has more movies included! Enjoy.
The original Pixar Theory:
As of this writing in 2013, 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.
In Brave, Merida discovers that there is “magic” that can solve her problems but inadvertently turns her mother into a bear. We find out that this magic comes from an odd witch seemingly connected to the mysterious will-of-the-wisps. Not only do we see animals behaving like humans, but we also see brooms (inanimate objects) behaving like people in the witch’s shop.
We also learn that this witch inexplicably disappears every time she passes through doors, leading us to believe that she may not even exist. Don’t get ahead of me, but we’ll come back to Brave. Let’s just say that for now, the witch is someone we know from a different movie in the timeline.
[Some of you have pointed out that the animals in Brave gradually regress back into an animal state, disproving the idea that this is the source of animals acting like humans. My rebuttal is simple. They regress because the magic wears off. Over time, their evolving intelligence grows naturally.]
Centuries later, the animals from Brave that have been experimented on by the witch have interbred, creating a large-scale population of animals slowly gaining personification and intelligence on their own.
There are two progressions: the progression of the animals and the progression of artificial intelligence. The events of the following movies set up a power struggle between humans, animals, and machines.
The stage for all-out war in regards to animals is set by Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, and Up, in that order. Notice I left out A Bug’s Life, but I’ll explain why later.
In Ratatouille, we see animals experimenting with their growing personification in small, controlled experiments.
Remy wants to cook, which is something only humans explicitly do. He crafts a relationship with a small group of humans and finds success. Meanwhile, the villain of Ratatouille, Chef Skinner, disappears. What happened to him? What did he do with his newfound knowledge that animals were capable of transcending their instincts and performing duties better than humans?
It’s possible that Charles Muntz, the antagonist of Up, learned of this startling rumor, giving him the idea to begin inventing devices that would harness the thoughts of animals, namely his dogs, through translator collars. Those collars indicated to Muntz that animals are smarter and more like humans than we think. He needed this technology to find the exotic bird he’s obsessed over, and he even comments on how many dogs he’s lost since he arrived in South America.
But then Dug and the rest of his experiments are set free after Muntz’s demise, and we don’t know the full implications of that, but what we do know is that animosity between the animals and humans is growing steadily. Now that humans have discovered the potential of animals, they are beginning to cross the line. To develop this new technology, the humans begin an industrial revolution hinted at in Up.
[Some have pointed out that Muntz was working in South America before the events of Ratatouille. This is true, but it is not explicitly stated how and when he developed the collars. Also, we know Ratatouille takes place before Up for several reasons. In Toy Story 3, a postcard on Andy’s wall has Carl and Ellie’s name and address on it (including their last names to confirm). This confirms that in 2010, the time of Toy Story 3, Ellie is still alive or hasn’t been dead long. This supports the idea that Up takes place years later.]
In the beginning of Up, Carl is forced to give up his house to a corporation because they are expanding the city.
Wait a second. What corporation is guilty for polluting the earth and wiping out life in the distant future because of technological overreach?
Buy-n-Large (BNL), a corporation that runs just about everything by the time we get to Wall-E. In the“History of BNL” commercial from the movie, we’re told that BNL has even taken over the world governments. Did you catch that this one corporation achieved global dominance? Interestingly, this is the same organization alluded to in Toy Story 3:
In Finding Nemo, we have an entire population of sea creatures uniting to save a fish that was captured by humans. BNL shows up again in this universe via another news article that talks about a beautiful underwater world.
Lines are being crossed. Humans are beginning to antagonize the increasingly networked and intelligent animals.
Think about Dory from Finding Nemo for a second. She stands apart from most of the other fish. Why? She isn’t as intelligent. Her short-term memory loss is likely a result of her not being as advanced as the other sea creatures, which is a reasonable explanation for how rapidly these creatures are evolving.
It’s likely that the sequel to Finding Nemo, which is about Dory, will touch on this and further explain why. We may also get some more evidence pointing to animosity between humans and animals.
[Some great users have pointed out that Dory is actually more intelligent and shows signs of growth due to her ability to read and communicate with whales. This would actually show signs of how the animals are beginning to change in intelligence gradually.]
And that is the furthest movie in the “animal” side of things. When it comes to A.I., we start with The Incredibles. Who is the main villain of this movie? You probably thought of Buddy, a.ka. Syndrome, who basically commits genocide on super-powered humans.
Or does he? Buddy didn’t have any powers. He used technology to enact revenge on Mr. Incredible for not taking him seriously. Seems a little odd that the man went so far as to commit genocide.
[A lot of people have been arguing about where The Incredibles actually takes place because we see technology from modern times and the 1980s even though everything has a 1960s vibe. This is cleared by Brad Bird, the director, who says the movie takes place in an alternate 1960s, which means the movie opens in the 1950s.]
And how does he kill all of the supers? He creates the omnidroid, an A.I. “killbot” that learns the moves of every super-human and adapts. When Mr. Incredible is first told about this machine, Mirage mentions that it is an advanced artificial intelligence that has gone rogue.
Mr. Incredible points out that it got smart enough to wonder why it had to take orders. The omnidroid eventually turns on Syndrome, and starts attacking humans in the city. Why would an A.I. want to just attack randomly? Do machines have an inherent hatred of humans?
The movie even shows clips of the superheroes with capes being done in by inanimate objects, such as plane turbines…accidentally.
But why would machines want to get rid of humans in the first place? We know that animals don’t like humans because they are polluting the Earth and experimenting on them, but why would the machines have an issue?
Enter Toy Story. Here we see humans using and discarding “objects” that are clearly sentient. Yes, the toys love it Uncle Tom style, but over the course of the Toy Story sequels, we see toys becoming fed up. But wait, toys and inanimate objects aren’t necessarily machines, so how do they have some kind of intelligence?
Syndrome points to the answer. He tells Mr. Incredible that his lasers are powered by Zero Point Energy. This is the electromagnetic energy that exists in a vacuum. It’s the unseen energy we find in wavelengths and a reasonable explanation for how toys and objects in the Pixar world draw power.
By the events of the Toy Story movies, we are in the 90s until 2010. It’s been 40-50 years or so since the events of The Incredibles, giving A.I. plenty of time to develop BNL.
Meanwhile, Pixar is hinting at dissatisfaction among pockets of toy civilizations. The toys rise up against Sid in the first movie. Jesse resents her owner, Emily, for abandoning her. Lotso Huggin’ Bear straight up hates humans by the third movie.
Toys are obviously not satisfied with the status quo, providing a reason for why machines and objects alike are ready to take over.
So, by the 2000s, the super-humans are all but gone, and mankind is vulnerable. Animals, who want to rise up Planet of the Apes style, have the ability to take over, but we don’t see this happen.
Also, A.I. never takes over humans by force. Why do you think that is? It’s reasonable to assume that machines did take over, just not as we expected. The machines used BNL, a faceless corporation (which are basically faceless in nature) to dominate the world, starting in the 1960s after the Omnidroid fails to defeat the Incredibles.
In each of the Toy Story movies, it’s made painfully clear that sentient objects rely on humans for everything. For fulfillment and even energy. It’s hinted at that the Toys lose all life when put away in “storage” unless they are in a museum that will get them seen by humans.
So machines decide to control humans by using a corporation that suits their every need, leading to an industrial revolution that eventually leads to…pollution. When the animals rise up against the humans to stop them from polluting the earth, who will save them? The machines.
We know that the machines will win the war, too, because after this war, there are almost no animals left on Earth. Who’s left?
Because the machines tip everything out of balance, Earth becomes an unfit planet for humans and animals, so the remaining humans are put on Axiom (or Noah’s Ark if you want to carry on the Biblical theme where Wall-E is basically Robot Jesus and his love interest is aptly named Eve) as a last-ditch effort to save the human race.
On Axiom, the humans have no purpose aside from having their needs met by the machines. The machines have made humans dependent on them for everything because that is how they were treated as “toys.” It’s all they know.
Meanwhile on Earth, machines are left behind to populate the world and run things, explaining human landmarks and traditions still being prominent in Cars. There are no animals or humans in this version of Earth because they’re all gone, but we do know that the planet still has many human influences left.
[Some have noted that the world of Cars can’t be after humans left because there’s no pollution shown in the movies. If you look carefully at Wall-E, however, the world is never shown during this time, so we don’t really know how badly the Earth was polluted.]
[It’s possible that the machines sent humans away to curb overpopulation and fix the environment without them, but the world was drained of resources as a result of machines populating the Earth. That would explain why the machines abandoned Earth entirely, leaving only Wall-E behind.]
In Cars 2, the cars go to Europe and Japan, making it plain that this is all taking place on Earth as we know it. So what happened to the cars? We’ve learned by now that humans are the source of energy for the machines. That’s why they never got rid of them.
In Wall-E, they point out that BNL intended to bring the humans back once the planet was clean again, but they failed. The machines on Earth eventually died out, though we don’t know how.
What we do know is that there is an energy crisis in Cars 2, with oil being the only way society trudges on despite its dangers. We even learn that the Allinol corporation was using “green energy” as a catalyst for a fuel war in order to turn cars away from alternative energy sources. That “clean” fuel could have been used to wipe out many of the cars, very quickly.
[Someone pointed out that “all in all” means the same thing as “by and large” making the connection between Cars and Wall-E even more substantial.]
Which brings us back to Wall-E. Have you ever wondered why Wall-E was the only machine left? We know that the movie begins 800 years after humans have left Earth on Axiom, governed by the AutoPilot (another A.I. reference).
Could it be that Wall-E’s fascination with human culture and friendship with a cockroach is what allowed him to keep finding fulfillment and the ability to maintain his personality? That’s why he was special and liberated the humans.
He remembered the times when humans and machines lived in peace, away from all of the pollution caused by both sides.
After Wall-E liberates the humans and they rebuild society back on Earth, what happens then? During the end credits of Wall-E, we see the shoe that contains the last of plant life. It grows into a mighty tree. A tree that strikingly resembles the central tree in A Bug’s Life.
That’s right. The reason no humans show up in A Bug’s Life is because there aren’t a lot left. We know because of the cockroach that some of the insects survived, meaning they would have rebounded a bit faster, though the movie had to be far enough in the timeline for birds to have returned as well, though they’re noticeably less intelligent than the bugs.
[I’ll admit, the trees looking similar isn’t enough to support the idea that A Bug’s Life takes place after Wall-E, but there’s definitely more reasons for why it’s likely. Also, I’ll bring the tree up again later because it appears in Up as well.]
There’s something strikingly different about A Bug’s Life when compared to other Pixar portrayals of animals, which leads me to believe it takes place in the future. Unlike Ratatouille, Up, and Finding Nemo, the bugs have many human activities similar to what the rats in Ratatouille were merely experimenting with.
The bugs have cities, bars, advertisements, their own machines, know what a bloody mary is and even have a traveling circus. This all assumes that the movie is in a different time period.
The other factor that sets A Bug’s Life apart from other Pixar movies is the fact that it is the only one, besides Cars and Cars 2, that doesn’t revolve (or even include) humans.
[Okay there is a a lot of contention over the idea that A Bug’s Life takes place post-apocalypse, but hear me out. The reason I am so inclined to push the idea is because of how different the bug world is from the “animal” movies. No other Pixar movie has animals wearing clothing, wild inventions, animals creating machines, or so much human influence like bars and cities.]
[In Finding Nemo, the most human thing we see is a school, and even that is pretty stripped down. But in A Bug’s Life, we have a world where humans are barely even implied. At one point, one of the ants tells Flik not to leave the island because there are “snakes, birds, and bigger bugs out there.” He doesn’t even bring up humans.
[Yes, there are some humans, like the kid who allegedly picked the wings off of the homeless bug, but that still fits in a post Wall-E world. Also, the bugs have to be irradiated for them to live such long lifespans. The average lifespan of an ant is just 3 months, but these ants all survive an entire summer and allude to being around for quite some time by saying things like “this happens every year.” One of the ants even says he “feels 90 again.” That works if you accept that the ants are sturdier due to evolution and mutated genes.]
There’s another Pixar movie that was supposed to be released in 2012, but it was cancelled and replaced with Brave. This movie was called Newt, and I believe it might have fit in this part of the timeline post-Wall-E. The movie’s supposed plot: “What happens when the last remaining male and female blue-footed newts on the planet are forced together by science to save the species, and they can’t stand each other?”
A movie about an endangered species rebuilding itself could lend itself nicely to this theory, but since the movie was never released, I’m just speculating.
So what happens next? Humanity, machines, and animals grow in harmony to the point where a new super species is born. Monsters. The monsters civilization is actually Earth in the incredibly distant future.
[Someone wisely pointed out that in Monsters University, the college is said to be founded in 1313. If we’re really in the future, then that means the monsters could have reset society and begun using their own calendar. That could mean Monsters Inc. takes place up to 1400 (or more) years after A Bug’s Life.]
Where did they come from? It’s possible that the monsters are simply the personified animals mutated after the diseased earth was irradiated for 800 years.
[Not during Wall-E. I would guess that it took hundreds of years after Wall-E for the animals to become monsters]
Whatever the reason, these monsters seem to all look like horribly mutated animals, only larger and civilized. They have cities and even colleges, as we see in Monsters University.
[An issue some have found is that this doesn’t properly explain what happened to humans. I haven’t settled on a theory I really like yet, but I’m leaning towards the idea that monsters and machines eventually forgot that they need humans and got rid of them again, not realizing their mistake until all humans died out. Another explanation is that humans just couldn’t survive on Earth anymore.]
In Monsters Inc., they have an energy crisis because they are in a future earth without humans. Humans are the source of energy, but thanks to the machines, again, the Monsters find a way to use doors to travel to the human world. Only, it’s not different dimensions.
The monsters are going back in time. They’re harvesting energy to keep from becoming extinct by going back to when humans were most prominent. The peak of civilization, if you will. Though a lot of time has passed, animosity towards humans never really went away for animals/monsters.
Monsters must have relied on anti-human instincts to believe that just touching a human would corrupt their world like it did in the past. So they scare humans to gather their energy until they realize that laughter (green energy) is more efficient because it is positive in nature.
[An alternative explanation that fits even better that some of you brought up: The machines and monsters created the time travel doors but realized that messing with time could erase their existence and change history. So, they falsely trained monsters to believe that humans are toxic and from another dimension, making it suicide for a monster to interact too much with their world.]
[Another issue is how the monsters seem to worry about kids “being less scared these days.” It’s likely that going in the past takes a lot of energy, so the monsters can only go back as far as the practice still returns a profit in energy. To them, they’re just moving through the same dimension of time, but the monsters at the top know that eventually, they’ll run out. This is why Waternose is so bent on capturing children and enslaving them.]
We even see a connection between A Bug’s Life and Monsters Inc. via the trailer we see in both movies. As you can see, the trailer looks exactly the same, except the one in A Bug’s Life is noticeably older and more decrepit, while the one in Monsters Inc. (where Randall is sent via a door) has humans and looks newer.
Look at the picture above. On the left is the trailer from A Bug’s Life and the one on the right is from Monsters Inc. The one on the left looks older and more rundown. Even the vegetation is noticeably dryer and there’s less of it. The trailer on the right has humans and the frame even includes tall grass and a tree hanging overhead.
[Some have argued that the trailer in A Bug’s Life should be nothing but dust. I disagree based on how barely intact other buildings were in Wall-E. They also bring up the bug zapper that is powered by electricity. The zapper could easily be solar powered, just like Wall-E. The bugs probably used it as a light source to signal other bugs to “Bug City.” Also, the trailer in A Bug’s Life never shows lights in the trailer like it does for Monsters Inc.]
That said, Monsters Inc. is so far the most futuristic Pixar movie. By the end, humans, animals, and machines have finally found a way to understand each other and live harmoniously.
And then there’s Boo. What do you think happened to her? She saw everything take place in future earth where “kitty” was able to talk. She became obsessed with finding out what happened to her friend Sully and why animals in her time weren’t quite as smart as the ones she’d seen in the future.
She remembers that “doors” are the key to how she found Sully in the first place and becomes…
A WITCH. Yes, Boo is the witch from Brave. She figures out how to travel in time to find Sully, and goes back to what she believes is the source: The will-of-the-wisps.
They are what started everything, and as a witch, she cultivates this magic in an attempt to find Sully by creating doors going backwards and forwards in time.
[Just to clarify: The theory is that Boo discovered a way to use doors to travel through time on her own, possibly by developing magic on her own. She probably went back in time to the Dark Ages to get more magic from the will-o-wisps.]
How do we know? In Brave, you can briefly see a drawing in the workshop. It’s Sully.
We even see the Pizza Planet truck carved as a wooden toy in her shop, which makes no sense unless she’s seen one before…(and I’m sure she has since that truck is in almost every Pixar movie). If you look closely, you can see the carved truck below.
You remember Merida opening doors and the witch constantly disappearing? It’s because those doors are made the same way from Monsters Inc. They transport across time and that is why Merida couldn’t find the witch later in the movie.
[A lot of people have brought up how easter eggs are scattered throughout all the Pixar movies. I barely scratch the surface, but a great theory offered by some that I support is that these easter eggs are planted by Boo either intentionally or accidentally as she travels through time to find Sully. Some support for that is the fact that every easter egg in Brave lies in her workshop.]
But wait. How did Boo travel in time in the first place, and why is she obsessed with wood? Boo must have discovered that wood has been the source of energy all along, not just humans. The machines and monsters in Monsters Inc. use doors because they’re made of wood and found a way to use that energy to travel in time.
[Many have pointed out how the door that banishes monsters is metal. That’s probably because wood is used to harness this magic, and using a metal door would stop a banished monster from going back through it.]
Obsessed with finding Sully, Boo travelled across the Pixar universe using doors.
[It’s even possible that the wood from the tree in A Bug’s Life is the source of Flik’s ingenuity, due to his fascination and respect for seeds growing into trees. The tree also bears a resemblance to the one in Up that Carl and Ellie frequented, which could be the source of Carl’s wild creativity in using balloons to transport his house.]
[This also explains why Flik and Heimlich from A Bug’s Life show up in Toy Story 2, which would be centuries before their time. Boo was trying to go to the future and could have fallen short by landing in the post-Wall-E time. She would need wood to keep time traveling, but there’s not much around yet, so she stumbles upon the tree in A Bug’s Life. She could have accidentally brought back a few bugs with her when traveling backwards in time.]
So Boo went back to the Dark Ages, probably because she could use plenty of wood there for her experiments or to study the will-o-wisps. We know that her first encounter with Mor’du ended with her turning him into a monstrous bear, but he regresses.
She probably wanted to turn him into a bear because Sully resembles a bear, and she is still trying to figure out where Sully comes from.
Does Boo ever find Sully? I like to think so. He surely reunited with her at least once as a child at the end of Monsters Inc., but eventually, he had to stop visiting.
But her love for Sully is, after all, the crux of the entire Pixar universe. The love of different people of different ages and even different species finding ways to live on Earth without destroying it because of a lust for energy.
And that is the Pixar Theory.
For Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur, and Finding Dory, the story continues in Parts 2,3, and 4 respectively, so here are some other helpful links for your reading pleasure:

Monster are humans that evolved
they can’t be humans or else it wouldn’t make sense…why would they scare and then make humans laugh if they are humans? As said on the theory, humans are the source of energy and wood receives that energy aswel. So if the plant in Monsters Inc. is in a crisis and if they’re humans, why are they at crisis since they’re actually the source of energy? 😛
that might work, when the supers where dying out possibly some humans turned on machines and animals and took the side of the heros and did genetic expierements with BNL sponcered and powered by dinoco when the expierements went horribly wrong with the pollution and bug influence they mutated into monsters
Does Meet the Robinsons” fit in here anywhere?
No because that is not Disney-Pixar
But in Meet The Robinsons, a time machine is created which could explain Boo’s return to the Dark Ages of Brave
no because its not pixar
You know how the humans power the monster world. They also power the doors, right? Well in monsters university it shows how they can power the door from the other side (the human world). What if that’s how boo is traveling though timelines. Pretty interesting if you think about it.
When you say “By the events of the Toy Story movies, we are in the 90s until 2010. It’s been 40-50 years or so since the events of The Incredibles, giving A.I. plenty of time to develop BNL.” Did you ever think that the company that Syndrome founded was, in fact, BNL, therefore the A.I. never had to develop BNL in the first place. Because of this it had more time (and money) to create a monopoly and establish its influence. Of course after ousting the humans and the cars took ofer the entity still had to remain in power, otherwise everything would fall apart. On the axiom the environment was created perfectly for BNL to regulate all human activities, but what of the earth?
When the cars rose up and took over BNL still needed a foothold, otherwise there would be total anarchy. When Fillmore is talking about the government “feeding us a bunch of lies, man” Maybe he was refering to the gasoline being controlled by BNL in a bid for the A.I to keep its influence. This suggests that while that A.I. developed the machines in a similar way that the magic led to the A.I, the machines have the capacity to be come totally sentient and free of the A.I. all together. The reason the machines died could have been. then, that when the cars were all gone and the Wall-E units were released (remember, they were solar powered) then they quickly broke from their dependence on BNL, as they depended on BNL for so little. All of the units died presumably around the same time, as with their new found freedom they were taxed with self-preservation for the first time, which ended disastrously. Wall-E was special, however. Wall-E as we know him is the product of an extreme coincidence. A cockroach happened to be crawling on a broken down Wall-E unit when it accidentally tripped the solar panel. The panel was hit by the sun some time later, and Wall-E was re-activated. Slowly his human emotions developed again and he learned to preserve himself and became fascinated with human culture, including love, which led to his infatuation with EVE, and the subsequent events on the Axiom.
Also, if another incredibles movie comes out then it could change a lot as that seems to be the start of the A.I and the BNL company.
what is the approximate time in Toy Story 3 that they Carl and Ellie postcard is shown? couldn’t find it…

“Ratatouille, finding nemo, and up, in that order” was not presented in that order… other than that love the theory.
ARE THE PIXAR SHORT STORIES CONNECTED TO THE TIME LINE ?????
OK this is how I see the pixar shorts fit into the pixar theory.
First we have the adventures of Andre and Wally B pixars first produced short, in this I believe that Andre is a toy that was forgotten in the forest, and wally B is one of the more intelligent animals. this could be one of the first encounters the AI has with intelligent animals.
second is luxo Jr. this could be the first look we have on not only toys and machines having artificial intelligent but other items that spend allot of time with humans developing feeling and relationships (Jr getting sad when the ball pops and the father consoling him)
thirdly is reds dream which just like luxo Jr is showing other items that spend alot of time around humans gaining AI
forth is tin toy. this is nothing more than more support that toys are getting smarter and not liking humans so much.
fifth is knick knack my personal favorite of them all. in this we see that again other than toys and machines other items are getting smarter, they (the snowman) comes up with so many ways to get out of the snow globe he uses dynamite a welding torch and jackhammer!
sixth is Geri’s game. this to me is one of the most interesting ones. in it it is either A) a normal old man playing chess with himself or B) an old super who survived and can split himself into two personas.
seventh is for the birds. in this we see a group of intelligent birds ganging up together for a cause (yes the simple cause of knocking the tall birds off the line but still a cause.)
eighth is mikes new car. this one isn’t very important but it takes place in the monster time era.
ninth boundin. boundin is one of the more important ones, in this we see the sheep that is all happy and then the men come and take him away. afterwords we see what can be one of the first types of experiments or mutation of animals the jackalope. this is one of the first looks at the new species of animals known as monsters.
tenth is jack jack attack. this has no real importance other than we know that the government can erase peoples brains if they want.
eleventh is one man band. this is not such a big deal as all i got from it is humans are advancing with their inventions.
twelfth is mater and the ghost light. not very important as it only takes place in the cars time preiod.
thirteenth is lifted. this one is interesting because it shows that aliens have been to earth and could of been a factoring reason on how monsters came to be (the aliens do show a resemblance to a few of the monsters)
fourteenth is my friend the rat and it is showing that rats want to have a relationship with humans and be kind to humans but the humans not so much.
fifteenth is burn-e. burn-e does not show much importance to the pixar theory but it does show us that the AI has goals and feelings to.
sixteenth is presto. presto is important as it shows us that other than the witch other people can harness the magic of the will-o-wisp. (think the will-o-wisp are always teleporting away and the magic hats teleport one item that goes into it to the other.)
seventeenth partly cloudy. partly cloudy was by far the hardest to figure out but after watching it several time’s i figured something out, the animals created by the clouds seem more intelligent than the other ones. the animals created by the clouds were more affectionate and allot more obedient (not the wild one Gus created but the ones the other clouds created.) my theory is the witch enchanted some of the clouds to try to get them to make a sully monster (if that makes sense)
eighteen-nineteen. dugs special mission and George & AJ. these two are not very important they fit but it only gives background info about dug and George & AJ.
twenty is day & night. i really don’t see how this fits in. i guess it just symbolizes the relation ship of day and night and the theory goes on inside the two?
twenty one and three are toy shorts and only give background on the toy’s (there isnt anything that alters the theory)
twenty two and twenty five are some of maters tall tales and i like to think that they are just tales he makes up so it doesn’t have any meaning
twenty four is la luna. la luna was a more far fetched one but i have a theory i like. the familys boat is made out
wood and what does the monsters and boo need for time and or space travel wood. so my idea is that the family’s boat is made of the same kind of wood that the witch and boo uses and that’s what allows the family to travel to the moon.
finally is the blue umbrella. in the blue umbrella we see more inanimate objects other than toys and robots gaining artificial intelligence and having feelings and emotions
well this is how i think the short films fit into the pixar theory. sorry for any bad grammer
Thank you so much for those details i hope the short films get added to the official timeline.
Thanks again 🙂
But mrs. potato head was reading a story about a bugs life in toy story 2. So how does that make sense, if bugs life was sent in the future?

Wonderful, what a blog it is! This web site presents
valuable data to us, keep it up.
What about the movie “Meet the Robinsons” ? Isn’t it a pixar movie too?
I think MtR is a Disney movie and not a Pixar…
That is a Disney/Pixar movie. That’s a different timeline altogether.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Charlotte NC roofers.

few of the comments look like they are written by brain dead folks?
😛 And, if you are writing on additional online social sites, I would like to

Hello, i think that i saw you visited my weblog so i came to “return the
favor”.I am trying to find things to enhance my web site!I suppose its ok to use
{some of|a \
I really enjoyed reading both the timeline and the detailed version but there’s something buzzing my head here…
Everything starts with Merida and the Witch in Brave and also it ends up with the Witch as Boo. Isn’t this some kind of paradox? Cuz she goes back in time so she relives her timeline and sees her younger self going back on time just like she did which means that she would only exist cuz she initially started all of this which would meant she was the one “creating” the monsters race so she’s the one that makes her young self to see Sully. So this means she needs to go back in time to the Dark Ages so she can become the Witch on Brave in order to bring Sully and the “war” between animals, humans and A.I to life.
So basically: Boo personifies the animals, installing the beggining of the great war. This ends up years after with a race of mutated animals which we call monsters. Boo meets Sully. She ends up wanting to see him again which will led her to the wood and the magic. Boos goes back in tim to the Dark Ages and becomes the Witch.
Please tell me if you can explain this cuz I got really confused here 😛
Anyway… had a lot of fun reading this and you got me looking at a different perspective at Pixar 😀
don’t you think if the witch were boo they kind of have some resemblance? the witch’s nose is ginormous! and boo had a cute,small, turned up little nose…why are people overlooking that? i haven’t seen Brave so maybe i am missing something or the witch has another form that isn’t provided in the timeline or theory snapshots…
mean to say…don’t you think they’d have some resemblance
This is actually called a bootstrap paradox. And it is exactly like you say. there is no point in time at which we can say that Witch Boo started this whole ordeal. If you want a better explanation it’s like this.
A scientist in the future comes across some old research but it’s torn up and is not suitable for long time use. he then writes it out and finds it holds the secret to time travel. He thinks that it can’t be good to have time travel and goes back in time to hide the papers he made. Years later the scientist finds those old and torn up papers and copies them down. No place at which the papers could have been wrote by someone other than the scientist. I suggest that if you like time travel and other science fictiony things, read the book by his bootstraps. It is the source of this paradox and it is better than some comment box at explaining things
Methinks the tree-theory should be further weakened: The design of ALL trees that for some reasons which get some focus for picture-compositing reasons is quite similar. For example there also is a remarkably bent and curved tree in the Toy Story trilogy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=AZsvD4swwk8#t=168) which you can tell can’t be the one mentioned in the theory due to 1.) chronological and 2.) on-hill placement.
Dear,pixar dectective I would like to represent a theory that interconnects dinoco, BNL ,cars,meet the robinsons,monsters inc and the good dinosaur here it is :During the time period of the 40 to 50 years of forming of bnl dinoco decided to jump on the ride(being after the humans took back control over dinosaurs explaining the antagonist in meet the robinsons has a dinosaur which is one of the axon members which is why machines are all over meet the robinsosons and being most dinosaurs have died out that means dinoco has lots of fossil fuels)because dinocos connection BNL have a influence on cars which brings us the cars universe as cars get better and better as cars are getting better fossil fuels getting less availible causing the rush for resourses and therfore we need scream energy TA-DA
Isn’t this whole theory based on a time paradox? Boo couldn’t go back in time to become the witch if she hadn’t gone back in time to become the witch. Other than the time paradox, fantastic theory.
So basically, this is all syndrome’s fault for developing the zero point energy laser?
You mentioned newt… Isn’t Rio basically the story line of newt but with birds or whatever? 😛
Also, Bolt can be another piece of evidence indicating that animals are resenting humans and becoming more advanced. but if this is so, what does it mean for Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and the sequel? Actual food turning into living entities? if so how would this fit into the universe or is it just a spin off? interested to hear thoughts 😛
bolt is not pixar, cloudy with a chance of meat balls and rio are NOT pixar…
Wow, this post is pleasant, my sister is analyzing these kinds of things, thus I
am going to let know her.
Your blog post reveals that you really are highly well written and able to write
attractive content articles. Ever write for other people? Let me hire you for your work (by the hour, per short
post, .etc).
i think the snap shot of Carl and Ellie’s name on the postcard in Toy Story 3 is not genuine. Between 11:00 and 11:20 of Toy Story 3, Woody climbs a dresser and makes his way to the bulletin board. There is not trace of this postcard. Unless someone can’t point me the exact time the card is shown…anyway, this whole theory is bogus and i can’t understand why people are saying their mind is blown…ha ha…but i do feel many of the Pixar movies are connected like Boo being in Toystory 3 and Randall being sent back to the trailer in Bug’s Life for beginners…oh, by the way i just noticed in TS3 that Andy has a poster of what looks like a red omnidroid with the #3 on it. It appears at 12:56 and again at 13:00…Boo looks nothing like the witch…i can hear the replies now, “oh well, she is a witch so she could have turned herself into any ugly old hag with a gigantic beak for a nose”…ha ha…people will believe what they want, i guess…
Wow, that’s what I was exploring for, what a material!
existing here at this blog, thanks admin of this web page.

It was definitely informative. Your website is very helpful.
