I watched this entire video not knowing this channel and I was surprised to see not nearly as many people watch your videos as you deserve. Very intriguing video that brought something new to the table and thought provoking, idk how this channel hasn’t blown up yet.

Out of curiosity, have you seen Alex Bale's take on the Pixar theory? For those of you not in the know, Alex Bale is a horror movie film maker, but he got big making a series of conspiracy theories about SpongeBob. He made an ARG to go along with it about how he's being forced to make those theories, and eventually finished the series with a big compilation of his theories with some added ideas and new bonus theories. Afterwards, along with continuing his film making career, he's making several other theories for other beloved kids media, from Magic School Bus, to Avatar: the Last Airbender, to Blues Clues, to High School Musical, to Pop-Tart ads, to Cocoa Puffs ads. But my favorite non-SpongeBob theory of his is him giving his own take on the Pixar theory, where he connects the blooper reels at the end of Bugs Life, Toy Story 2, and Monsters Inc, as well as some interviews with the characters made to promote the films, and their appearances at the Oscars are all part of a fictional universe where all animated characters are artificially created actors who suffer from finding work after the movie is over due to being second class citizens and having a form unsuited for other roles. I'm shocked THIS didn't blow up, and instead of connecting all the Pixar movies together, you could connect all the projects where animated characters are real, and are either actors or aware they're in a movie. Your Roger Rabbits, your Chip and Dale movies, your Looney Tunes Back in Actions, your House of Mouses, your Once Upon a Studios, your classic Cartoon Network promos, your modern Disney television animation promos. Maybe throw in those recent shorts supporting the animation strikes with Adam Conover and Alex Hirsch while you're at it!

1:47, I don’t support making fun of people who like it but I do think that (the most vocal of) those people give it a lot more credence than it deserves.

This made me look at this theory in a new light, good job pal, cheers.

[matityaloran]

13:09, that’s a perfect description of the Pixar Theory in my estimation.

6:08 the moment when the SuperCarlinBrothers came up with the idea that Onward’s set in another planet, completely destroyed the Pixar Theory for me, as while I did disagree with it thanks to the Pixar Theory debunked videos by both Bobthesheux and JP & Beyond, the Carlins placing Onward as it’s own separate was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Because going by their logic on how Onward fits into the Pixar Theory, all the Pixar movies are set in their own planets, while the sequels to those movies are set in the same planets as their predecessors.

Bro, you need to get more and more what your doing is high quality

[matityaloran]

13:47, they love it because it makes good movies. That’s not something the “Pixar Theory” seriously analyses

[ShockwaveFPSStudios]

13:28, the problem with this statement, is that everybody who likes the Pixar Theory, was in denial that it’s not a theory. When anyone debunks the Pixar Theory, it’s either because they don’t like the theory, or just don’t agree with it, because of the evidence that debunks it.

[matityaloran]

11:30, for me that’s a problem with the Pixar Theory since a lot of those movies have happy endings and embracing this theory destroys said endings.

[matityaloran]

11:48, I actually don’t find “how X movie fits the Pixar Theory arguments” tend to engage in genuine analysis of those movies

[matityaloran]

7:00, Some people on the Internet seem to. I won’t name names (mostly since I can’t remember them) but I’ve seen some online content about Pixar whose creators seem convinced the Pixar Theory is actually true.

[matityaloran]

1:43, I don’t. It’s not that it has fundamentally less logic than the DreamWorks Theory or the Disney Theory but it’s that its promoters often treat it as if it were some sacred dogma (and it doesn’t help that that requires undermining the actual conclusions of several of the movies under discussion.)

[matityaloran]

4:02, though other studios have also used A113

[camjewell]

I am not a proponent of the Pixar Theory, because I believe it to be built on nothing but straw. Why? Because its validity relies entirely on certain Easter eggs being deliberate links between films, most notably the Pizza Planet truck, yet it ignores other Easter eggs, and I’m sorry, if you use even one Easter egg as a clue to a shared universe, you have to use them all.
