Title: Conspiracy Theory Time: The Pixar Theory Post by: SurfD on January 18, 2014, 10:42:52 PM Sometimes, you just have to marvel at the amount of connections people can make between seemingly random things.
In that vein, I present to you: The Pixar Theory (http://jonnegroni.com/2013/07/11/the-pixar-theory/), in which someone posits the possibility that every single pixar movie is actually connected and that they all happen in the same "universe". It actually is a fairly interesting read, and like the best of conpsiracy theories, had just enough of the right dots to connect to make you believe that it just might be true.

Title: Re: Conspiracy Theory Time: The Pixar Theory Post by: SurfD on January 19, 2014, 02:20:38 AM Eh, I can see him having a very strong case for like 90% of it, but it all really falls appart in my mind if you try to include Cars. It takes a REAL stretch of credibility to imagine that anthropomorphized Vehicles could somehow be a natural development in any world.
Title: Re: Conspiracy Theory Time: The Pixar Theory Post by: Venkman on January 19, 2014, 07:20:34 AM That was great. Cars is easy to fit into a world of sentient technology with a long timeline, especially where the split between animal-based and tech-based intelligence starts in the 20th century.
The article could use an infographic though. Title: Re: Conspiracy Theory Time: The Pixar Theory Post by: Merusk on January 19, 2014, 10:22:25 AM Nerds ruing everything. Taking unconnected easter eggs from various movies and using them to create this 'itt's all connected man' "obsessed" vision is somehow worse than trying to connect Tarantino's movies to a common universe.
Title: Re: Conspiracy Theory Time: The Pixar Theory Post by: Pennilenko on January 19, 2014, 05:12:57 PM connect Tarantino's movies to a common universe. You mean Tarantino's movies aren't in a common universe?Title: Re: Conspiracy Theory Time: The Pixar Theory Post by: lamaros on January 19, 2014, 06:22:23 PM What's the conspiracy part here...

Quote Pixar Theory Guy stated: The point of this theory is to have fun and exercise your imagination while simultaneously finding interesting connections between these fantastic movies. If you hate fun and/or imagination, you probably won’t like this theory.

I think it's really cool and fun what they do; but I don't think it adds up to a single overarching storyline in any sensible way. |
