#2Can someone at Pixar confirm or deny this? Pees?
Re: The Pixar Theory
#3Nice idea! Applying the Tarantino-esque everything in one world scenario is cool.
The theory is a bit off for me though. If it was me I'd have portrayed bugs as evolution (darwinian) of the fish, and monsters of the bug. That way around then Toy story spins off Monsters University as kids are seen to be scared through their Toy's eyes. With The Incredibles being activated to tackle the Monsters problem, which then leads to Monsters Inc and the monsters switching to comedy. Then aliens take over and Brave is the re-emerging human! :) n.b. was a pixar nut as a kid.
Touché though I can't fit Ratatouille in my world :)

#5Having studied literature, I was taken aback by this, as it really is a nice story, that fit the facts after the fact. It is the classical "post hoc, ergo proter hoc", that is so common in (at least German) literature science.
Some small factoids are taken from "texts" (or here movies) and over them a nice story is fabricated, to "explain" these factoids.
For example the timeline. Does Cars for example mention the time anywhere in the movie? Or is this just a fictional fitting from the maker of this site?
Or does Monster Inc. somewhere mention a time, that would explain the position on the timeline?
Or the mentioned wars between animals/humans and machines/humans. Where in the movies are they referenced?
This (The Pixar Theory) is not a "scientific" theory. It does not in the least adhere to anything remotely resembling a scientific method.
Fun to see, non the less, but not explaining anything.

Yes :). There are more explanation here [1]. It was already posted on HN and is linked on the website (sources). I liked the idea and the new visual, so I shared it.

Re: The Pixar Theory
#8I read this theory on some other blog site a week ago - can someone confirm what it was?
The theory is tenuous as best and not overly convincing. But I love discourse like this. I think that this is the value of art, for there to be more meaning and truth in the work than the artist may have intended.
Anyway, a nice looking site. I like the idea of dedicate entire sites/domains to a single article or idea.

FWIW, though American, I studied German lit. as well, and I don't see it either. Line for line, my reaction mirrors yours.
