Pixar Theory Timeline (headcanon)

[stphylcccs]

I've added the first 10 episodes of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and the pilot, but there's 63 episodes (not including the pilot) so I'm gonna take a break to actually do stuff IRL

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command shows Andy's toys watching it, though I personally believe this to be a re-air. While the theory that the actor of Buzz in Lightyear is Andy's father is believable, I don't think it would make sense for Buzz to be so popular as a toy, if Lightyear was the only piece of media surrounding him. I believe Lightyear was a live-action remake of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and will be putting it before Lightyear

Hm, I mean the Toys say it's the new Buzz Lightyear movie. To me, that sounds like there was at least one before. Perhaps this is a situation were a film was so successful that it got animated stuff? Thinking of Star Wars Droids / Ewoks Animated Series for example

Since the series is so different (and the movie was so bad) I personally see it as made before. "New Buzz Lightyear movie" just means it's new, if the first anything was coming out most people would still call it new, so I don't see this as much as a contradiction - especially if it was already an established franchise

I've made the BLoSC pilot bold, since the 3 episodes got combined into a movie

 

[stphylcccs]

Just realised the Incredibles calendar lines up with 1970, not 1969, will change that now

 

[stphylcccs]

Added the rest of BLoSC

On doing research for the WALL-E comics, I learnt Boom! Comics did comics for a lot of Pixar IPs, so I'll cover those after the WALL-E ones (though I'm aware the Incredibles comics got retconned by Incredibles II so I may have to put that into account for the other comics)

 

[Pro Bot]

How did Incredibles II retcon it?

How did Incredibles II retcon it?

The comics picked up where the first movie left off, so it's a completely different story after The Underminer attacks, onwards

 

[stphylcccs]

I guess since a child's reading an Incredibles comic in Finding Nemo they could be in-universe media, I just don't see why comics would be made that retell history

 

[stphylcccs]

I've added the WALL-E comics, gonna go see what other comics they did

 

[stphylcccs]

Seems like the only other canon comics are the Finding Nemo, Toy Story, and Cars ones, I'll add those when I get the chance

 

[stphylcccs]

The Monsters, Inc. ones might be canon, though based on their title I imagine it happens shortly after the movie, making them retconned by Monsters at Work (presumably). I'll read them anyway, and deduce their canonicity then

 

[stphylcccs]

For a second I thought all I had left was the comics, then I could do the Bloopers and Bricktoons as separate universes and I'd be done, but I still have the daunting task of the detailed timeline…

Pixar in Real Life (11 clips)

Completely forgot about Elio - I'll add it when they add it to Disney+. I thought I had Lamp Life? It should be just after Toy Story 4. Your Friend the Rat and Pixar in Real Life I'm placing in the "real world" (see Alex Bale's Pixar Metaverse Theory). Lou shouldn't be too hard - I can work out its placement based on Inside Out 2. I've never heard of the rest of those, I'll look into them when I get the chance

 

[stphylcccs]

A small amount of research seems to place Toy Story Treats directly after Toy Story (and I thought listing 62 BLoSC episodes would take forever…)

 

[stphylcccs]

And of course I still need to add the Elastigirl novel

 

[stphylcccs]

It seems (other than the ABC stuff) all I'm missing is written media and Blu-Ray extras (and Elio/Lou of course) - a lot less Blu-Ray stuff than I thought TBH

 

[stphylcccs]

I can't find Miss Fritter's Racing Skoool anywhere on YouTube, though I'm currently downloading it from Internet Archive (no preview unfortunately). I'm on holiday and my WiFi's terrible so it's taking ages, though from what I read from a synopsis it seems to take place before Cars 3

 

[stphylcccs]

I don't have anything else to go off, so the Interstitials are going after Toy Story 2 (can't believe I'm including what's essentially frigging loading screens…)

Dammit of course there's more… well, I better get to work

 

[stphylcccs]

Thanks for finding them though, I appreciate it

 

[stphylcccs]

My WiFi's really bad right now, so I'm unable to update the timeline

 

[stphylcccs]

Since Pixar in Real Life is literally Pixar, in real life (they recreated iconic Pixar moments in real life for the public to react to) I won't include it in the Real World

 

[stphylcccs]

Since Carl would have to spend a reasonable amount of time looking for a new house, then settling in, I'm moving Dug Days (and it's short) to 1979

Ignore me, I didn't realise I already had it a year after

The list just keeps getting longer… where are you even getting this from??? Is it just the Pixar wiki?
