Disney Animated Universe Timeline (headcanon)

[stphylcccs]

Just finished Return of Jafar, for a Disney direct-to-video sequel it was a lot better than I expected! Would 100% recommend

Some might be quick to discount House of Mouse due to the sheer abundance of characters from films taking place all throughout the timeline. However if you assume that the non Mickey Mouse characters are there through time travel (or similar means) it works fine. It has a place that makes sense in Mickey, Donald, and Goofy's timeline

Exactly. Plus lots of magic. I am going to enjoy this thread. I am working now so do not have time to fully read it now. I loved House of Mouse. Definitely had a lot head canon on how it all ties together.

Have not thought of this in years. Overall idea is that the Magic Kingdom(s) is a junction point in time snd space which link all these characters worlds together. Main Street and the House of Mouse is the fixed portal that allows them to interact. I would argue that Toontown is an alternative name for Main Street. Which is always changing kaleidoscope of parts of their separate times or realities.

Yeah it's probably the best i've seen.

i got a question when it comes to exactly what we're counting as Disney. As we are mainly trying to include here, Disney Animation Studios, but we are also including a lot from Disneytoon studios, Disney Channel, Disney Junior etc. Would a movie who is owned by disney but it's a bit unclear exactly how it fits in in terms of which studios and everything, like The Nightmare Before Christmas, be something we should take a look at and take into consideration if it fits?

Nightmare Before Christmas is owned by Disney and was originally going to be released under Disney Animation Studios as part of the 'Disney Animated Canon' line, but was considered 'too dark' so was moved to Touchstone Pictures but today is now considered as being from Walt Disney Pictures.

I'm really interested in what you guys think, is this something we should take a look at if theres a connection? Tell me your opinions.

 

[stphylcccs]

I'm considering anything where the main company behind a production was a Disney company, that wasn't bought out by them (prior to or after the production of whatever media is being considered)

 

[stphylcccs]

Sooooooo… guess we doing Gravity Falls on this timeline. Reversing that now before someone else makes it, since it's probably the most popular thing to be included here

 

[stphylcccs]

I've been thinking about Scar being mauled to death for a while now… I'm prolly gonna move the Lion King up to be more accurately placed, based off Pumbaa and Timon

 

[Rojinn]

Yeah, think that's for the best, the Nemean Lion might just have been an ancestor

 

[Rojinn]

Oh, I was wondering, you only have some Fantasia 2000 segments, will you add Fantasia segments as well?

 

[Oliveoil2]

I used to LOVE that show.

 

[stphylcccs]

I have the ones that were easy to place, I hope to have every segment though, yeah

I'll be putting Timon and Pumbaa before the other Lion King stuff since the two have adopted a child by the time the Lion Guard takes place, I don't see the two venturing out of the Pride Lands much after that. There'll be a few months gap between Lion King and the Simba's Pride prologue/Lion Guard so that Simba's children can become adolescents

 

[stphylcccs]

I also might move Moana… I know it's meant to be at the end of the Great Pause, but Disney straight up confirmed the abominable snowman from Frozen, and Flanders, appear in Moana, so that places Frozen, Moana, The Little Mermaid, and Cinderella as happening around the same time

Yeah, the amount of references in it. It feels like it was inevitable

 

[stphylcccs]

That would also move Strange World up the timeline quite a bit, since it's soft confirmed that the turtle island in Strange World is shown in the opening sequence in Moana.

"I will neither confirm, nor deny it"

Wasn't it Seaumus Gorman who came up with that one? I think i've seen the video of him asking the director

 

[stphylcccs]

Yeah, I recently rewatched his Disney shared universe video

 

[Oliveoil2]

Yeah, I recently rewatched his Disney shared universe video

Oh yeah, that's an alright video but he did make some mistakes with it. I used to like watching his pixar videos.

 

[stphylcccs]

Coming back to House of Mouse, I did a smidgeon of research and… that takes place in Toontown, from Who Framed Roger Rabbit… I would consider Who Framed Roger Rabbit to be a meta-narrative layer above this timeline, where toons film the events of the movies/tv shows shown, but I don't wanna be a dictator so… if enough people would rather I include the two on this timeline, I'll consider it

What? That is such a wild thing, wow

 

[Rojinn]

That would also add the 2022 Chip 'n Dale movie, as it's canon to Who Framed Roger Rabbit

 

[Oliveoil2]

The Rodger Rabbit, Chip and Dale universe is it's own thing so we probably shouldnt count house of mouse then.

 

[Oliveoil2]

Sooooooo… guess we doing Gravity Falls on this timeline. Reversing that now before someone else makes it, since it's probably the most popular thing to be included here

If we're putting Gravity Falls on this timeline. Here's Gravity Falls and it's expressly connected shows with.


Gravity Falls is explicitly connected to Amphibia and The Owl House. It should be noted that both of those shows largely take place in alternate universes, but the basic plot for both of them is that it's characters from the Gravity Falls universe going to these universes and eventually going back to their Earth. Both also have episodes set on Earth, Season 3 of Amphibia in particular is mostly set on Earth.
Basically what that means is that The human characters in Amphibia and The Owl House both come from the same Earth and that Earth is the one where Gravity Falls takes place and therefore most likely our Disney Universe.

I'm also going to include the 90s cartoon Pepper Ann, as the title character appears in the finale of Amphibia.

----------------------------------------

So here's the timeline for this corner of the universe (Including timeskips/flash forwards, because 3 out of the 4 shows do this in their finales)

Pepper Ann's 8 seasons all seem to take place in 1997 based on my research, minus the Finale.

Gravity Falls takes place from early May to the 1st of September 2012.

Pepper Ann's Finale takes place in 2013.

Amphibia starts in May 2019 and ends in roughly April 2020.

The Owl House's timeline is controversial apparently, but it seems to run from 2019 to 2022? Or 2020 to 2022?

Amphiba Finale's first timeskip is in 2021.

The Owl House Finale's timeskip is apparently 2025

And Amphibia's second timeskip is 2030.

-------------------------------------------

I haven't covered the Flashbacks and Time travel in Gravity Falls but i might go back and add that.

Gravity Falls is also very closely connected to Rick and Morty which means this Disney Universe is within Rick's central finite curve LOL. Gravity Falls is also similarly connected to Star VS the Forces of Evil but that seems to be another universe and another Earth because events in that show wouldn't make much sense.

Gravity Falls has also become closely connected to The Simpsons. Bill Cypher has made 3 appearances on the Simpsons. Due to Bill being a known Multiversal Entity that doesn't mean we have to include The Simpsons on the timeline thankfully..... although there is those Disney+ specials, so who knows atp.

I'm not sure about Pepper Ann, but everything there but Rick and Morty and Simpsons was gonna be on this timeline anyway. Simpsons establishes Bill Cypher in that universe is actually Loki, which contradicts with his backstory is Book of Bill, so fortunately we don't have to include that, yeah

 

[stphylcccs]

Pepper Ann is also Disney, yeah

 

[Oliveoil2]

Funny thing about Pepper Ann, she's actually the ONLY Disney tva character to be in House of Mouse. Which we aren't including anymore but it is still interesting.

 

[Oliveoil2]

So.... while we're on the topic of Disney Channel.... Phineas and Ferb?

 

[Oliveoil2]

Mainly because of Mission Marvel and i don't know if you want to go far enough to include Ultimate Spider-Man here

 

[Rojinn]

Mainly because of Mission Marvel and i don't know if you want to go far enough to include Ultimate Spider-Man here

I mean... that would bring in the Live Action Disney TV Series via the Jessie Crossover

 

[stphylcccs]

Ultimate Spider-Man would bring in the 2010s MAU which is a mess in its own right. I'm gonna include the Marvel crossover, but I won't go any further than that (even though I do believe them to be canon to each other)
