You are now in the Pixar Universe
14th-15th Century 1950s -1960s 1978-1998 1999 2003 2007 2010
2011-2016 2100-2200 2100-2200 2800-2900 2989-3000 4500-5000 4500-5000
This is the order of the movies as they exist together in the Pixar Universe.

It all starts with Merida discovering the “will' o' the wisps” (magic). The magic turns her mother
into a bear. This magic is why animals and inanimate objects (brooms & tools) behave like humans.
Magic was utilized by a witch, who mysteriously vanishes through wooden doors.
Eventually magic from the will' o' the wisps would lead to the birth of super heroes.
brave
Evidence
14th-15th Century
Humans and animals alike discovering magic. Here we see animals beginning to behave
like humans.
Inanimate objects beginning to move on their
own from the power of magic.

Superheroes were the ones that maintained order in the world. But Buddy, a wannabe superhero
created 2 things for the demise of superpower humans. Which was self serving A.I. bots like the
“Omnidroid” and the high tech Zero Point Energy. This is the pivotal moment where we see machines
eradicating their only threat, supers.
Later on the use of high tech Zero Point Energy (electromagnetic energy that exists in a vacuum.)
is unseen energy that travels in wavelengths which toy’s begin to absorb and draw their powers.
THE INCREDIBLES
Evidence
1950s-1960s
Syndrome utilizing Zero Point Energy, which
is later used by toys.
The Omnidroid shows first signs of Artificial
Intelligence turning against humans.

The first signs of life from toys due to Syndrome’s technological prowess is now present.
Toys (sentient objects) come up with a code of rules and learn that they thrive on human
love (another energy source).
The toys discover what happens to them when they are isolated from humans.
toy story
Evidence
1978-1998
The toys work together to avoid being discovered
by humans.
Toys learn to utilize human love as another
energy source.
The toys discover the barbaric nature of humans
and begin to dislike them.

The toys discover that it is lethal for them to be isolated from humans. Start to see inanimate
objects question their purpose in life, like Jesse resents being discarded by her owner,
Emily for abandoning her.
Resentment towards humans was not only carried by inanimate objects but by animals as well.
toy story 2
Evidence
1999
Inanimate objects beginning to question their
purpose in life.
Feelings of resentment build when the toys
are abandoned.

In the ocean we find that fish have very high I.Q’s (ex. have schools, network, and a freeway system)
We discover that humans are polluting the earth and experimenting on them. Dory was one of the
animals that was experimented on (this is why she forgets all the time). Signs of resentment grow
towards humans for polluting the environment, stealing fish and caging them.
Animals begin to carry more humanistic characteristics and are curious.
FINDING NEMO
Evidence
2003
We see that fish have high I.Q. levels,
resulting in organized schools, networks,
and freeway systems.
Dory is one of the many fish who have suffered
from being experimented on.
Fish become aggravated and begin to rebel
against the humans.

In Ratatouille, Remy discovers his love of cooking and begins to display humanistic characteristics.
Some of them are: walking on his hind paws, cleaning his hands, reading, and cooking. This is the
first time we see personal interaction between human and animal, but it is intentionally for the
purpose of controlling humans. Remy controls Linguini since Linguini does not know how to do
anything. We see that Remy’s rat clan does not approve of the humans and have a general fear and
hate towards them.
This is just the beginning of futile war with machine, animals and humans. As you will be able to see
in Toy Story 3.
RATATOUILLE
Evidence
2007
Here we see animals wanting to behave
more like humans.
The animals begin to learn how to control
the humans.
We see the rats beginning to overtake
the humans.

3 years later the toys have gone through a lot with humans. If you seen the movie you can tell why
most of the toys have had it. Being abused physically and emotionally by humans.
Lotso the Huggin’ Bear straight up hates humans because, humans use and discard toys like they‘re
trash so who can blame him for trying to take care of his own kind. This, like many others, provides a
reason for why machines and objects alike are ready to take over.
Carl and Ellie write to Andy telling him to get rid of his toys because they know the animosity
between toys and humans coming ahead and that’s why they are planning on living in solitude.
TOY STORY 3
Evidence
2010
The humans begin to abuse the toys,
both emotionally and physically.
Human treatment of toys results in
hatred from toys such as Lotso.
Buy-n-Large’s reach begins to grow,
as we can see by the BnL batteries
in the back of Buzz Lightyear.
In Toy Story 3, we see a postcard
from Carl and Ellie, written
to Andy.

Carl is forced to give up his house to a corporation/BnL because they are expanding the city.
Forecasting that this corporation is the cause for polluting the earth and wiping out life in the distant
future due to technological overreach. Carl discovers that animals also can communicate and begins
to see the bitterness they have towards humans. Charles Muntz trains an army of dogs more
effectively. This is the start of the tipping point between animals and humans.
Years later the uprising between animals and humans began and who do you think won that war?
UP
Evidence
2011-2016
We see the large corporation BnL taking
over the world.
Carl discovers that animals can talk. Charles Muntz creates an army of talking dogs.

When animals rise up against the humans to stop them from polluting, the machines saved them and
they won the war. However since they won it tipped the balance on Earth. And machines/BnL had to
send the remaining humans off into space on a ship called the Axiom. And all the other machines
were left behind to populate the world and run things.
How do we know cars took over the earth and not another planet?
cars
Evidence
2100-2200
Machines are still heavily influenced by humans,
which explains human landmarks and traditions
that are prominent in cars (customs like drive-in
movie theatre, Route 66, etc).
Here, the Axiom is in flight. The humans had to
flee earth to avoid extinction during the war.

In Cars 2, cars go to Europe and Japan which shows that its the same planet as all the other Pixar
movies. It also shows that there are no humans throughout the world. The world at this time ends up
with an energy crisis in Cars 2 with oil being the only energy used for cars. 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 (decommissioned) many of the cars real
quick. Allinol was operated by BnL which eventually polluted the whole earth due to the use of oil.
The whole world becomes unfit to sustain life.
cars 2
Evidence
2100-2200
We see cars in Japan, proving that Cars exist on
Earth, not an alternate world.
Allinol was a cover to help Buy-n-Large eliminate
green energy.
Here we see an attempt to “decommission” a
small group of cars. Decommission was the term
BnL came up with to take emphasis away from
the genocide that was actually taking place.

Earth has become uninhabitable for hundreds of years due to BnL a corporation that took over the
world/governments starting in the 1950’s. Wall-E is the only machine left on earth after the machines
ran out of resources. He survived because he is fascinated with human culture and friendship with a
cockroach which helped maintain his personality and fulfillment. Robots/machines on the Axiom that
left earth centuries earlier; show that machines have humans dependent on them (machines) for
everything because it gives them purpose. Wall-E is a robot Jesus. He and his love Eva (Adam and Eve)
save the human race and start a new beginning on earth again.
During the credits of Wall-E we see the shoe that contains the last of plant life. It grows into a
mighty tree.
WALL-E
Evidence
2100-2900
There is evidence that: One, Wall-E was able to
survive from interactions with another lifeform.
Two, Bugs also found a way to survive on earth.
Some of the wreckage left behind by the
Buy-n-Large corporation.
The tree that grew from the boot Wall-E found
grows into the tree that we see in A Bug’s Life.

That same plant we see in Wall-E grew to be the tree in A Bug’s Life. Insects have a longer lifespan in
A Bug’s Life. Prior to Wall-E an ant can last just 3 months. However, in A Bug’s Life, these ants all
survive an entire summer and allude to being around for quite some time. Even one ant states that he
“feels 90 again.” Which explains that ants are sturdier due to evolution and mutated genes. Another
ant tells Flik not to leave the island because there are “snakes, birds, and bigger bugs out there.” But
does not mention humans, because there are very few humans that makes it dangerous enough for
insects to worry about. Although one kid allegedly picked the wings off of the homeless bug.
Later in the distant future animals start evolving into the dominant species.
A bug’s life
Evidence
2898-3000
Insects in the future are living and behaving more
like humans. There are cities, bars, a traveling
circus, and they wear clothes/contraptions.
We see that ants in the future can live to be
90+ years old.
Ants in the future invent tools/gadgets.

Hundreds of years after Wall-E animals started changing due to radiation from pollution caused by
BnL. These Animals evolved into monsters and accidentally wipe humans off the face of the planet.
Which is why they incorporate Monsters University: founded in 1313; which is dated back to their
calendar not the human calendar showing that it took place almost 1400 years after A Bugs Life. At
Monsters University, they are falsely taught that humans are toxic and from another dimension.
This was because monsters were worried about being erased from existence and altering history.
monsters university
Evidence
4500-5000
Animals evolved into monsters which founded
Monsters University in 1313 (Monsters A.D.)
Monsters were falsely taught to believe humans
are toxic.

Monsters and machines didn’t realize their mistake of getting rid of humans until it was too late. Not
knowing that humans were their source of energy to sustain life. Machines helps solve that by letting
Monsters use doors to time travel to the human generations.
Which leads us to Boo.
MONSTER’S, INC.
Evidence
4500-5000
Sully and Mike using doors to travel back in time
to gather energy from human screams, and later,
green energy through laughter.
In Monster’s Inc we see Randall sent through a
door into the past where he ends up in a trailer
that looks newer (frame, tall grass, tree hanging
overhead). In A Bug’s Life, we see the same trailer
but it’s old and run down, and the vegetation is
less and noticeably dryer, indicating that it is in
the future.
Mike put Boo’s door back together for Sully so
he could see Boo one last time.

Sweet little Boo never got over Sulley and became obsessed with finding out what happened to him.
She remembered that doors are the key to finding sully. Later on in life she figured out how to time
travel and goes back to the source of all magic, the “will' o' the wisps” and creates magic to find Sulley
by using wood. Boo leaves evidence behind in Brave showing 2 carvings whittled out of wood. They
were Sulley and a Pizza truck, the two things she loves most in life. Although she knows how to travel
through time, she does not know how to determine what time period she will go to. Therefore
speculation has it that Boo is the one planting the easter eggs throughout all the Pixar movies because
she has been accidently going through different time periods.
Boo
Evidence
∞
Boo’s reminiscing of Pizza Planet by carving the
Pizza Planet truck.
Boo’s obsession of searching for Sulley is found in
her wood carvings in Brave.

Boo discovered that wood was the source of energy
all along.
In Monster’s Inc. they used doors made of wood because it has the energy to
travel in time. The Wood from A Bugs Life is the source of Flik’s ingenuity.
That tree (a bugs life) bares a resemblance to the one in Up that Carl and Ellie
often visited. This tree was the source of Carl’s wild idea of balloons
transporting his house.
Why did the Witch turn
Queen Elinor into a bear
in Brave?
This was Boo’s failed attempt at
bringing Sulley back. The bear
somewhat resembles Sulley.
How did Flik and Heimlich
from A Bug’s Life show up
in Toy Story 2?
“Time travel!” Boo tried to go to the
future and could have fallen into the
Wall-E time period (2100-2900) and
kept travelling, stumbling upon the
tree in a bugs life and could have
brought back a few bugs with her.
