The Pixar Theory

I explain how, and possibly why. Several months ago, I watched a fun-filled video on Cracked.com that introduced the idea (at least to me) that all of the Pixar movies actually exist within the same universe. Since then, I’ve obsessed over this concept, working to complete what I call “The Pixar Theory,” a working narrative that ties all of the Pixar movies into one cohesive timeline with a main theme.

The Incredibles follows Mr. and Mrs. Incredible and their children, Violet and Dash, as they come of out suburban hiding to pursue a deadly villain whose mission is to destroy superheroes.

Edna's real-life counterpart is none other Edith Head, who was once the most sought-after designer in Hollywood. Pixar Sequels Draw Bigger Role in Company’s Future.

Yet with Thursday’s announcement that Disney will release “Toy Story 4,” on June 16, 2017, Pixar now has four new sequels planned over the next several years as the Mouse House looks to add more heft to its record fiscal earnings. In addition to a fourth “Toy Story,” the Emeryville,Ca. -based company has “Finding Dory,” “Cars 3″ and “The Incredibles 2″ in the works. The first, “Finding Dory,” a sequel to the 2003 hit “Finding Nemo,” will be released on June 17, 2016. The next “Cars” and “Incredibles” are not yet dated, but Pixar already has planted its flag on Nov. 22, 2017, and June 15, 2018 for untitled pics.

Nearly two decades after Pixar created the world's first computer animated feature with Toy Story, they've confirmed plans to return with a fourth instalment. John Lasseter, who directed Toy Story and Toy Story 2, is back onboard to direct the film. Disney Pixar says the film is due for release in June 2017.

It's also been revealed Rashida Jones and Will McCormack will join the writing team. ‘The Incredibles 2′ is Moving Forward; ‘Cars 3′ in Development. Reaching My Autistic Son Through Disney. Photo In our first year in Washington, our son disappeared.

Just shy of his 3rd birthday, an engaged, chatty child, full of typical speech — “I love you,” “Where are my Ninja Turtles?” “Let’s get ice cream!” — fell silent. He cried, inconsolably.
