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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
