The Pixar Theory - All of the Pixar movies actually exist within the same universe. “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.

For the full detailed version
Shorter version


Does it blow your mind? Think this person has too much spare time? You want to further help out this theory? etc.




I think it's an amusing theory, but I think it's just grasping straws. Like having a piece of paper filled with evenly spread out polka dots, then getting a marker connecting them (curving lines where need be) to create a "picture".

To expand on your analogy, the point is that it delivers no purpose. If you ask the question: what meaning is there to this theory? It gives no added value whether it's true or not. It doesn't change any sort of context to any scene or action for any characters or plots on a deeper level that I can see at least.

What you're describing here would only make a grid, not a picture... unless you skip some dots, which goes against what you're saying anyways. Bad analogy.


The theory is amusing, at best. It's believable, but definitely not mind blowing.

You're assuming that all lines would be uniform, with this case being stated that curved lines could be used as I also assume a line could be formed between dots that are more than one unit away in a cross section as well. Basically in order to form the picture you desire you manipulate the dots of your choosing with the lines you choose to draw. I don't see how this analogy doesn't work. You saying how this method breaks some sort of objective rules is exactly the point being made that the theory is formed by a tunneled perspective.

It doesn't work because it's being used to exemplify that if this theory is true and all the dots are connected to "grasp at straws". Even if curved lines are allowed and you somehow make a picture by joining up all the dots, at the most, you'll get

the theory isn't as messy/confusing as this.

What I was saying is you have this

and say Oh hey look there's a cat in the picture. Don't you see it?

Here let me connect the dots for you and you get

Yeah it's a picture of a cat in it ,but you made the lines so that you can see a cat. "grasping at straws" since you're trying to make something out of nothing.



Ehhh analogy aside the theory is amusing.

Except with that, all dots look the same. They don't hint at anything and the perceiver images something out of "nothing".
The theory actually points out solid hints that links them all together (assuming they're not just easter eggs).
Not to mention that by your original description, you imply that all dots have to be connected, not just some at convenience of the perceiver.

Honestly, I'm just picking at your analogy here. There's barely anything to discuss anyway. It's a binary agree/disagree question.

Does it blow my mind?
No, because I'm not a simpleton who finds small connects of children's movies so much as noteworthy. Wow, the same vehicle appears in several movies and there is a ball and lamp which appear often as well! Holy shit, they often use a number that's the same as a graphic design studio's room number in a school!! OMFG!! Maybe it's an Illuminati conspiracy?!

Seriously, though, whoever spent the time to search through children's movies to spot similarities between then has absolutely no life. Especially spotting the vehicle in Wall-E. Mind you, the only reason I've seen many Pixar movies is because I have to watch them with my nieces and nephew. Even with that, I never noticed the similarities because I have better things to do with my life. Such things as watching paint dry, watching the grass grow, accidentally zoning out while inadvertently staring at someone, and talking shit on the internet. laugh This guy must live with his parents and have no job, no girlfriend, and immature to be watching such movies. Sure, I watched movies like Toy Story and Toy Story 2 when I was a kid but I have no desire to see the third because I have something called taste. And I'm not one of those people who dislike kids movies just because they're made for kids. For example, most of the Shrek movies were kind of entertaining. I really hope it was just a very perceptive father with a little spare time, but that's quite unlikely. no

Damn, I was just planning on writing a few sentences, but I went on a rant again.
Hello, my name is That3rdGuy and I have a ranting addiction. eyes laugh

Well, this thread blow my mind because we should simply answer like these :

Does it blow your mind?
a Little.

Think this person has too much spare time?
Maybe.

You want to further help out this theory?
Can't do.

Its already said there;
"The point of this theory is to have fun and exercise your imagination while simultaneously finding interesting connections between these fantastic movies.
If you hate fun and/or imagination, you probably won’t like this theory."

Wow, judgmental much? What do you say to movie critics who are married, middle aged and probably makes more money than you? How does watching a movie make one immature anyways? Does the screen shoot at scanner at you and imprints the word "immature" onto your soul? Or do you have to verify your maturity level to even watch the movie?
By your logic, you shouldn't be reading shounen manga - or hell, any manga for that matter, watch cartoons, or read comics - because it's "made for kids", amirite?

Also, analyzing movies/videos - hell, being an analyst in general isn't that hard... or at least as hard as you think it to be. Kids even do it in high school - it doesn't take an entire lifetime to do it. You don't "lose" your life doing it.

And what's it to you what other people do in their own time anyways?

O RLY? And what is that taste? On screen violence, fast cars, robots and big explosions?

Right. Because you have a taste that will tell you what a movie's about without about watching it - or you're just a sheep who follows movie reviews and take it as the word of God.

Hello That3rdGuy, now go back to your rock.

Except that the OP never implies this as I previously explained. It never says all of them, just them to create the picture. To add to your own statement, the points that support the theory are the chosen dots, and even if they support the picture, there are many points that are unrelated (not contradictory) and the whole scheme of things don't mean anything. Is that more understandable to you? You can draw an unlimited amount of observations, but all movies added together don't mean anything.

Rather than this being some big theory, is there a reason why we should assume or benefit that they are in different universes?
