Many of us have grown up watching and loving Disney and Pixar movies because they were a source of comfort for all of us as children.
What if all Pixar movies are set in the same universe and are all connected to each other? It’s called the Pixar Theory. It was first introduced by writer, theorist and entertainment reviewest, Jon Negroni. I full-heartedly believe in this theory.
It makes sense all the Pixar movies are set in the same universe and are all connected in some way. Some may say this theory isn’t true, and there is zero correlation between all Pixar movies. Those people are wrong. The evidence is there throughout every Pixar movie. Every movie has an easter egg, a hidden feature, that leads to another Pixar movie.
The theory begins and ends with the witch from “Brave.” The witch, who can turn doors into portals and give human characteristics to animals, has the power to bring inanimate objects to life.
Over the course of the Pixar timeline, we see humans start to have a rise in prominence after dinosaurs. Then, chronologically, the witch from “Brave” displays her powers. Thereafter, we see humans fall from prominence, as seen in “WALL-E,” which causes bugs and animals to rise in numbers.
Then monsters, like the ones in “Monsters, Inc.,” rise to prominence. From that point we meet Boo. Boo develops a friendship with Sully, and Sully reaches a point to where he can never visit her again. With Boo’s knowledge about doors and their time traveling powers, she begins a quest to find her Sully again. This development of powers makes Boo the witch from “Brave.”
I mainly believe this theory to be true because growing up as a child, I remember religiously watching Pixar movies. It’s where my love of movies began. Coincidentally, “Monsters, Inc.” was my favorite Pixar movie to watch growing up.
I remember the VHS we had. The tape was vibrant blue, and the cover was sheer with the characters on the front and back. Little me would have been thrilled to know all my favorite Pixar movies were connected.
Many people connect with this theory for the same reason I do. There’s a nostalgic factor to theorizing Pixar movies. It makes people sit and think about how happy they were growing up and the memories they have watching Pixar. This is the precise reasoning behind why it has gained so much popularity.
Audiences may ask themselves, how is this theory even possible? Well, there are multiple signs of Boo being the same person as the witch. First, in the witch’s wood carving shop there is a carving of Sully, which is enough evidence in itself. Her workshop also has references to her time traveling to find Sully.
She has a Pizza Planet truck from “Toy Story” and a renaissance painting. She also mentions attending a festival that didn’t exist during the time of “Brave.” The biggest sign is her use of doors. She uses them exactly how Sully did to visit her when she was a child.
Boo’s goal, or should I say the witch’s goal, is to reunite with Sully. The most complex theory of Disney Pixar is motivated by love.
Since Negroni’s initial development of the Pixar Theory, other theorists, Pixar fanatics and YouTubers have contributed to the Pixar Theory. Youtubers SuperCarlinBrothers introduced the Pixar Theory to a wide range of audiences.
SuperCarlinBrothers member Jonathan Carlin asks the question of why does Boo choose to stay in Scotland. The reason is because she never wanted Sully to suffer the final death. If she has her memories of him as she resides in the past, Sully can never truly die.
As seen in other Pixar movies, like “Coco,” memories are what keep people and monsters alive. By living in the past and remembering something from the future, Boo has created a permanent loop of time where Sully can never die.
Boo has ensured that if she can determine the events in “Brave,” then one day she will be a little girl again and continue meeting Sully in a never-ending loop.
It’s quite amazing that the whole Pixar Theory is based upon Boo’s love for Sully. I can relate to loving something so much. I’m sure we all could. My cat was my absolute favorite creature on earth. I know if I could’ve kept a loop that would ensure his immortality, I would have.
The love Boo has for Sully reaches into our lives, and we can all relate to it. That’s why the Pixar Theory resonates with people and is why people want to believe in it.
The Pixar Theory is not only true based on evidence from the movies themselves but also true by the real emotions people have from the theory. The nostalgic feeling makes the theory real.
The Pixar Theory is without a doubt real logistically as well as emotionally. The movies show for themselves that they all are connected. As Negroni said, “[Boo’s] love for Sully is, after all, the crux of the entire Pixar universe.”
