Even if you don't frequent the dark corners of the web where conspiracies lie, you've probably heard this wild Pixar theory. Humor website Cracked was the first to host the idea that all Pixar movies exist in the same universe. That idea really caught on with John Negroni, who fleshed out the theory with an incredibly detailed post on his website. Here are some quick facts:
-
Brave is the first and last film in the epic timeline. The animals in the film have been bewitched to have human-like behavior.
-
...Which explains why the rat from Ratatouille can cook. The animals in the Pixar universe are evolving.
-
Charles Muntz, the villain in Up learns about the evolved animals, inspiring him to create a collar that translates dogs' thoughts.
-
Syndrome, the evil villain from The Incredibles, developed the artificial intelligence that would evolve years later to give inanimate objects sentience. That's why the toys in Toy Story are alive.
-
Monsters, Inc. is the most futuristic film in the series. But how do we get back to Brave? Duh — Boo, the human child from Monsters, Inc., is actually a time-traveler, which makes her...the witch from Brave who started all of this.
