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?

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

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!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
