The Pixar Theory

I first ran into the Pixar Theory a few years back, and I admit that I wasted the next two days trying to piece it all together in my head. Basically, the Pixar Theory goes something like this: all of the movies made by Pixar work together as a kind of mythological collage to tell the story of the development of human and post-human life in an alternate universe. That is, every Pixar movie takes place in the same alternate reality, one removed from ours. So Brave, Incredibles, Toy Story, Monsters Inc, etc. are not individual, unrelated stories, but rather all snapshots of a larger, comprehensive history of evolution as it occurred in a different world.

Check it out and be prepared to have your mind blown.

By the way, linking to this page will obviously result in a lot of spoilers if you haven't yet seen all of the Pixar films: user beware.
