The Pixar Theory

Jon Negroni con­nects all the threads and Easter eggs through­out the Pixar uni­verse.

But her love for Sully is, after all, the crux of the entire Pixar uni­verse. The love of dif­fer­ent peo­ple of dif­fer­ent ages and even dif­fer­ent species find­ing ways to live on Earth with­out destroy­ing it because of a lust for ener­gy. And that is the Pixar Theory.

And what would a uni­fied the­o­ry of some­thing be with­out time travel.

An issue some have found is that this does­n’t prop­er­ly explain what hap­pened to humans. I haven’t set­tled on a the­o­ry I real­ly like yet, but I’m lean­ing towards the idea that mon­sters and machines even­tu­al­ly for­got that they need humans and got rid of them again, not real­iz­ing their mis­take until all humans died out, lead­ing to the neces­si­ty for time travel.

Or it’s all coin­ci­dence of reusing art­work and wire frames. I like the the­o­ry better.
