They're All In The Same Universe: The Pixar Theory

Did you know that every Pixar movie takes place in one fictional universe over time?

Let me begin by thanking Jon Negroni for this. Jon Negroni is the man behind the marvelous ideas of "The Pixar Theory." In 2013, Negroni wrote a thesis that states that all the Pixar characters live within one fictional universe, the Pixar universe. He also acknowledges that the ideas and concepts that form this theory come from the Cracked.com video series "After Hours," written by Daniel O'Brien.

Negroni wrote this theory with all the movies in a specific timeline and this is the order in which they go:

1. "The Good Dinosaur" (post-Cretaceous Period).

2. "Brave" (14th and 15th centuries).

3. "The Incredibles" (1950s and '60s).

4. "Toy Story" (1997 to '98).

5. "Toy Story 2" (1999).

6. "Finding Nemo" (2003).

7. "Finding Dory" (2004).

8. "Ratatouille" (2007).

9. "Toy Story 3" (2010).

10. "Up" (2011 to 2016).

11. "Inside Out" (2014 to '15).

12. "Cars" (2100 to 2200).

13. "Cars 2" (2100 to 2200).

14. "Planes" (2100 to 2200).

15. "Planes: Fire and Rescue" (2100 to 2200).

16. "WALL-E" (2800 to 2900).

17. "A Bug's Life" (2898 to 3000).

18. "Monsters University" (4500 to 5000).

19. "Monsters, Inc." (4500 to 5000).

There is a website that specifically explains the time period and how it fits all together with evidence. However, as more movies have been released, they have not been added to that website, but to Negroni's personal blog instead. I for one had not heard of this until I stumbled across the SuperCarlinBrothers. It was specifically Jonathan "J" Carlin from the brother duo who made a video about "The Pixar Theory" which is where I first heard of this phenomenal idea. Negroni wrote a book that is available through his personal blog or you can read this theory on the website I mentioned earlier, or his blog, as I would not be able to explain it quite as well as he has. You could also watch the video by the SuperCarlinBrothers like I did as well, if you're more the auditory learner than the visual learner. However, you decide to investigate this theory, it is most definitely worth the time, as your mind will be blown!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
