What if I told you

that all Pixar movies
are connected?

That all the characters in those movies
actually live in the same universe

only in different times.
How is that possible?

Keep watching and find out.

Our story starts with the movie Brave
back in the old days of Scotland.

In the movie, Merida discovers
some kind of magic which

accidentally transforms her mother into
a bear. That mysterious magic power comes

from the witch in the forest.

This will be the first time we see
animals act like humans

But who is that witch in the forest?

We see her disappearing trough doors and we
know she has magical powers

but who is she really?

Well, actually she played a big
role in one other film on our list

but we'll get to that later.

During the centuries that followed
Brave,

the animals and objects who were
experimented on by the witch

have slowly evolved

creating a power struggle between
humans, animals and machines.

The conflict between humans
and animals is depicted across:

Ratatouille, Finding Nemo and UP

In Ratatouille, the animals are
starting to experiment with their

growing intelligence in small environments.

In the movie, Remy tries to invade a
human-only territory:

cooking.

He then befriends a group of humans
but makes one enemy:

Chef Skinner

What happened to Skinner after
discovering the intelligent minds

that outperformed human beings?

It's possible that the word of that
discovery has reached the years of

Charles Muntz,
the villain in UP.

Which then led him to develop
technology that could harness

the thoughts of animals.

After Muntz his demise, the dogs are
free but we don't really know

what happened to them.

But one thing's for sure. Now that
people know the potential of animals.

They start crossing the line and the
hatred between the two grows

Thus begins the Industrial Revolution
hinted at in UP.

In the beginning of UP, Carl is forced
to sell his house to a corporation

in charge expanding the city.

Think about it.

What corporation is responsible
for pollution and technology overreach?

'Buy n Large' is the massive corporation that
runs pretty much everything in WALL-E.

In 'The History of BNL', an ad in
the movie, we're told that being BNL

has even taken over
world governments.

AD: 'Over two million wholly-owned subsidiaries,
governmental bodies and health care centers.

Buy n Large has become the world leader
in every conceivable field

including world leadership!'

In Finding Nemo,

we're told a story about saving a fish
from the bad human beings.

An entire population of sea creatures is
harnessed for that cause.

Humans continue to antagonize the
increasingly networked and intelligent

animals. But this is as far as we
go with the animal kingdom for now.

Let's back up for a bit.

We mentioned before that
a struggle arises between

humans, animals and machines.

So when did the
machine's artificial intelligence start?

In the Incredibles,

Syndrome tries to kill all the superheroes due
to a grudge between him and Mr. Incredible

'I am your biggest fan...'
'But....'

But it's not actually him
who was doing the killing.

Syndrome is using the Omnidroid,

an AI killing machine that can
learn and adapt during combat.

Eventually the robot turns on its creator
and tries killing innocent people randomly.

Why would an AI robot do that?

Do machines have an
inherent hatred towards humans?

Why? We know that animals
hate humans because

they're destroying the environment
and experimenting on them.

But what do machines have against them?

In Toy Story, humans use and discard
toys that clearly have feelings.

At birth the toys are happy

but as things progress, they
get fed up with people.

They rise up against
Sid in the first one.

Jessie resents her owner for
abandoning her in the second one.

And in the third one, Lotso ...
Well he just hates all people.

'She replaced us! Come on ...'

Toys are not happy
with the status quo.

Giving a reason for why machines
and objects want to take over.

At this point in time,

the superheroes are almost extinct
and mankind is vulnerable.

Despite that,

we don't see machines
rise up against humans.

Not in a straightforward way anyway.

Their using BNL, a faceless corporation,
to dominate the world starting

after the Omnidroid defeated most
superheroes.

It's made clear that these sentient
objects rely on humans for everything

fulfillment, energy,... they need them.
So machines decide to control humans

instead of taking over them.

That way they can use
them for their needs.

This leads to the Industrial Revolution
which eventually leads to worldwide

pollution. When the animals rise up
against humans to stop the pollution,

humans will get help
from the machines

and we already know who's
going to win that war ...

At a certain point,
planet earth becomes unsuitable

for living for both animals
and humans

which forces people to move to space as
a last attempt to save the human race.

In space, the machines have made
humans dependent on them for everything

because that's how they were
treated as toys. That's all they know.

Meanwhile on earth, machines are the
only beings left to populate the planet.

They follow human behavior and
tradition as seen in Cars.

Because that's what they
learned from humans.

There are no people or animals
left on the planet

but they're influence is still prominent.
Which brings us back to WALL-E.

Why is WALL-E the only machine left on
earth?

We know that the movie starts

hundreds of years after
humans have left the planet.

It's WALL-E fascination
with human culture

and a friendship
with a living being,

the cockroach, that
kept him going.

That's what made him special and sent
him on a journey to liberate the humans.

He remembers the time when humans
and machines lived side by side happily.

When humans go back to earth,
they bring with them

the single last plant
that survived.

At the credits of the film, we see
the plant and it grows to be a huge tree

that surprisingly resembles
the main tree in "A Bug's Life.

The reason we don't see
any humans in 'A Bug's Life'

is that there's not many
of them left.

We know that some insects survived after
the humans left the planet.

So it was easier for them to repopulate
again once humans came back.

So what's next?

Humans, machines and animals start
repopulating the planet in harmony

to the point that a new species is born:
monsters

The monster's universe is actually
earth in the very far future.

Where did the
monsters come from?

Maybe mutations of animals after
hundreds years on a diseased planet.

They sure do look
like mutated animals.

They're smart; they have
cities and even universities.

The monsters however
have an energy crisis

because, like the machines, they
need humans for their energy.

But they're living in the future world
where humans are all gone.

The doors they use to visit
humans for their screams

are not doors to
parallel dimensions.

They're going back in time.
They're visiting the time

when humans were most prominent
and harvesting them for energy.

This would have been the end
if it wasn't for Boo,

the little girl in 'Monsters Inc.'.

Boo slipped into the
futuristic world of the monsters

and found a friend there.

After going back to her world,

she kept trying to find a
way to see Sulley again

and became a witch.

Yes,

Boo is the witch from Brave.

She figured out
how to travel through time

and goes back to, what she thinks,
is the source of it.

The 'Will O' the Wisps', the magic that
started this whole thing.

She tries using that magic to create a
door that will bring her back to Sulley.

That's why the doors in her hut
keep leaving to the different places.

These are doors that she created
in the same way the monsters did.

They transport through time

and that is why Merida
couldn't find the witch later on

So boo keeps traveling through
doors looking for Sulley.

But does she ever find him?
We'd like to believe she does.

And their love for each other is what
binds all the Pixar movies together.

The love of different people from
different ages and even different species,

finding ways to live together in peace...

And that is 'The Pixar Theory'...
