the unified theory of the universe

The Pixar universe that is.

Here is a pretty interesting theory of how all of the Pixar films, including the Monsters, Toys, and Cars, can all exist, and in fact do exist, in the same universe.  All points on the timeline of earth, some in the distant past, some in a distant post-dystopian future, with a little magic and time travel thrown in.

Contemplate this then watch the movies again.

From the conclusion:

That said, Monsters Inc. is so far the most futuristic Pixar movie. By the end, humans, animals and machines have finally found a way to understand each other and live harmoniously.

And then there’s Boo. What do you think happened to her? She saw everything take place in future earth where “kitty” was able to talk. She became obsessed with finding out what happened to her friend Sully and why animals in her time weren’t quite as smart as the ones she’d seen in the future. She remembers that “doors” are the key to how she found Sully in the first place and becomes…


A WITCH.

Yes, Boo is the witch from Brave. She figures out how to travel in time to find Sully, and goes back to the source: the will-of-the-wisps. They are what started everything, and as a witch, she cultivates this magic in an attempt to find Sully by creating doors going backwards and forwards in time.

There's some good visual evidence of this as well. Fun.
