The Pixar [Conspiracy] Theory

Hi folks!

Procrastinating as I general do, during my "productive" hours at work, I came about this AWESOME theory that posits that every single Pixar movie is connected and actually, all their stories develop in the same universe, albeit at different times.

As Jon Negroni, the author of the Pixar Theory puts it:

The "Pixar Theory" [is] a working narrative that ties all of the Pixar movies into one cohesive timeline with a main theme.

As conspiracy theories go, this one is as solid as they come and pretty fun to read at that, too!!

The basics of this theory made the rounds a couple of days ago in the MSM, so I'm surprised no one has brought it up here at our ATS before (made sure by using the search function).

This is just a 10 minute read, but it will sure take your appreciation of the animated movies to a whole new level.

So, without further ado, I give you The Pixar Theory

Enjoy!

I think that this guy had way too much time on his hands, thinking this one up.
I think that the interconnectedness that he sees is a real long stretch of the imagination. Kind of like a Pixar movie, not real.

I could say the same thing for a majority of the stuff I read on this site. That said, as a big fan of Pixar, I enjoyed the read. S&F.

Thanks!

I'm a huge fan also of Pixar movies and this theory, even if stretched at times, is an amazing exercise in imagination and in providing a coherent narrative in what might appear as discombobulated topics.

This is silly and took me longer than 10 mins to read!

But it was a hoot

There is definitely linkage between the pixar movies.. more Easter eggs I'd suggest than an attempt at a cross referenced unified world theory. But I like things like this.

Cheers!

Lost me when he said there were no humans in A Bug's Life, remember the giant shoe scene getting stuck in the gum? Big part of the story there. Same with the picnic?

Nah not buying it sorry.

He didn't say there aren't any humans in Bug's Life.

He just said that there aren't many:

The reason no humans exist in A Bug’s Life is because there aren’t a lot left.

...not the same thing...

It's been a while since I've seen it, but wasn't that in Ants, which wasn't a Pixar movie?

OMG your right. Mixed them up completely. Good memory, dave.

I think it shows great creativity and imagination to weave those Easter eggs and similar story-lines together to make a universe of it all. When I used to gripe about commercials and how stupid the stereotypes were, I came up with an imaginary universe where all commercial characters live. I could find humor in thinking that they were forever living in overly dramatic times muddling through situations that could never be in this realm.

I found this guy's theory interesting. The references are all there for the interpretation and he ran with it.
There are people online who do a similar thing with the cartoon Adventure Time. There are really deep theories surrounding the program's creation and I sometimes stop by to read them.

I can see how conspiracy theories can be weaved together from tid-bits of news sound-bites and rumor.
Just looking at various topics here, you can surely see the same thought process functioning.

Yeah, especially since I haven't seen either of those since they first came out. I have a weirdly photographic memory for movies.

By the way, love the avatar!

Wow, who knows if it's true but it's a super-cool theory none-the-less. I really enjoyed reading it. Thanks!

I'm never going to look at a Pixar movie the same way again... Regardless if it's true or not... I find this theory very entertaining.

This reminds me of the Tommy Westphall Hypothesis which states that an exceptionally large quantity of American Television shows are simply the creation of a single child's imagination. Tommy Westphall was a character with autisim on the show St. Elsewhere and apparently that whole show took place in his imagination. A lot of shows apparently reference characters and events from St Elsewhere and so they all get lumped together.

It's explained in much greater detail here

well.. considering that pixar made all those movies, I do not think it's a "conspiracy"(conspiracy of what btw?) to include elements, characters from another movie and rehash art or items in the movies.

there is a lot of speculation and reading between the lines there.

It's fun if you are a pixar fan and have nothing else to do.

However there are many different companies that do the same things by adding easter eggs or maybe putting hints in of a different project in another.

if you are bored.

enjoy

Pixar are a part of the system designed to manipulate peoples minds.
Watch the Cars movie and note the references to Hippie.

LoL,,, I think you've been had by the disinfo Agency trying too discredit Conspiracy Theories

Holy crap. I was dizzy after reading that article. Madness!

Brilliant article, never heard of this before (at least don't remember hearing about it, but its a very nice theory. I am a Pixar fan, and really enjoyed that.

Its not really a conspiracy theory, and the author doesn't call it one either, its just a theory that all Pixar movies are located in the same universe, and involve a specific timeline, as well as time travel (Boo). Although I think its highly unlikely that Pixar is actually doing this on purpose, its not entirely impossible either. I just think that this fits in because of they are stories, and as usual for movie studios, there are lots of cameos and other injokes.

he forgot one movie that could tie it all together: Meet the Robinsons.

The storry is about an orphaned boy who builds inventions, but they fail miserably until he meets his son from the future. He goes into the future and tries to stop a rogue AI called Doris.

the theory wouldhave tied together the human/technology side.


and alsom the girl Fran who directshe singing frogs, could be Boo from Monsters Inc as a schoolgirl/adult woman.
