Disney Animated Universe Timeline (headcanon)

[Oliveoil2]

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

 

[Oliveoil2]

Here are the Mickey movies and series i could tie together as a timeline definitively. Well mostly Donald and Goofy stuff.

In Mickey's Once upon a Christmas Huey, Dewie, and Louie are young and still live with Donald Duck. Max Goof is a young boy and seems to be a couple years younger then Donald's nephews.

Ducktales 1987 can't take place too long later since the triplets are about the same age. Donald Duck joins the navy and leaves the triplets in the care of Scrooge. The Ducktales movie takes place between season 3 and 4.

Darkwing Duck takes place sometime after Ducktales. Word of God says they're seperate universes but i think he didn't watch his own show because Launchpad and Gizmoduck reference the events of Ducktales and working for Scrooge. As well as the city from dw being seen in the Ducktales movie, and them having a crossover comic.

In Goof Troop, Max Goof is 11 years old.

Huey Dewie and Louie are roughly 16 years old in Quack Pack and are once again living with Donald.

In A Goofy Movie, Max is in highschool probably around 15 years old.

In An Extremely Goofy Movie, Max Goof is in his first year of college and he had graduated highschool not long before.

House of Mouse has Huey Dewie and Louie closer to their Quack Pack Designs but they are apparently young adults according to the Wiki. Max Goof is roughly 18-19.

 

[Oliveoil2]

Mickey's Twice upon a Christmas doesn't even fit in the canon of the first movie as Max is an adult while the triplets are children even thought the first one shows the triplets as slightly older than Max.

bad news about that.... apparently the Disney comics and cartoons are set in the same universe, look at Donald Duck expanded biography from the wiki:

Yeah, I presumed as much

Can I link this in the parent post?

Can I link this in the parent post?

Yeah sure you can. I was researching all day haha

Did some research into Sofia the First and apparently the majority of the Disney princesses that appear in that show exist in the EverRealm, though the ones that have real-world locations are set on Earth as some other dimension. If people don't like the idea of Raya and the Last Dragon being set on Earth, then you can have it in the EverRealm, I guess, it doesn't really change the timeline much either way.

This is all word of god, which I usually take as absolute, though Disney were very against Sofia the First implying a shared universe and even refused to allow the creator's map of the EverRealm showing all the kingdoms to be released to the public, so in terms of this timeline I think it's safe to say Sofia the First is on Earth, and the EverRealm is a region of kingdoms, and Sofia's amulet can summon princesses from both the past and the future, which is somewhat implied though only explicitly stated for the past.

Yes, I am unironically analysing the worldbuilding of Sofia the First, of all things...

(also side-note but I'm gonna add the Tinkerbell movies to the rough timeline, then the only other things I'll add to that will probably be Zootropolis and Chicken Little if I can find good places to put them, though with the way expanded Ducktales/Mickey media handles human/animal coexistence I can probably just find dates in those movies then put them there relative to the human world)

Wait till we have to watch it's spinoffs LOL

 

[Oliveoil2]

To be honest there's quite a few Disney JR. shows that'll end up being part of this. Thanks mostly to Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh. As well as that Peter Pan one.

There's also all the Disney channel cartoons that crossed over with Lilo and Stitch. So we'll end up with Kim possible and recess among others

 

[Oliveoil2]

On that topic Lilo and Stitch not only has like 4 movies but also 3 cartoons of it's own including an Anime. Were once Lilo is all grown up, Stitch goes to Japan and becomes friends with some other kid

 

[Oliveoil2]

This

 

[stphylcccs]

Tinkerbell movies added. I'll do the other Winnie the Pooh movies now

 

[stphylcccs]

The only timelines I can find either don't include the direct-to-video movies, or are on Reddit, a site blocked on my college WiFi, so I'll do Winnie the Pooh later today, then start working on non-movie related media

 

[stphylcccs]

Winnie the Pooh movies added. I'll start detailing expanded media for things on the rough timeline now

 

[stphylcccs]

This is a more detailed timeline for Aladdin, The Lion King, and Hercules. This will be built upon once I finish watching the Aladdin and Lion Guard tv series, and when I find somewhere to watch the Hercules series in the UK.

???? BC: Hercules titans sequence
10?? BC: Hercules as a baby
10?? BC: The Lion King up to Simba living with Timon and Pumbaa
10?? BC: Aladdin
10?? BC: the rest of The Lion King (note that this likely takes place during the Zero to Hero montage since if left to their own devices the Hyenas would most likely completely devour Scar)
10?? BC: The Lion King 1‎1⁄2 (alternate perspective of The Lion King)
10?? BC: The Lion King II: Simba's Pride opening scene (a few months after Lion King)
10?? BC: Return of Jafar (exactly 1 year after Aladdin, leads into the Aladdin tv series)
1000 BC: Hercules: The Animated Series (happens concurrently with the Aladdin tv series and during the Zero to Hero montage)
??? BC: Aladdin and the King of Thieves (Aladdin tv series leads into this)
??? BC: the rest of Hercules
??? BC: Hercules: Zero to Hero (happens directly after Hercules, tells stories from Hercules' past)
10?? BC: The Lion King II: Simba's Pride prologue
??? BC: The Lion Guard seasons 1&2 (happens between the time jump in Lion King II)
??? BC: The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (happens 1 year after Lion Guard S2)
??? BC: The Lion Guard season 3 (happens concurrently with the main events of Lion King II)

Awesome, Love it!

Ok so I just went to D+ to watch Lion Guard and it opened me up on S3, with the very first synopsis stating that "Scar devises a scheme to destroy the Lion Guard" so ig that somewhat solves the Hercules/Lion King plot hole since Scar survives somehow but at the same time it weakens the connection. Fortunately, someone I watch on YouTube does deep dives into children's shows, one of which being for the Lion Guard, and since I don't have time to watch the Lion Guard in full right now, I'll just watch that

I'd only seen a few episodes here and there but i had no clue Scar was in the show. That's wild.

 

[stphylcccs]

Okay so after watching that video, no Scar doesn't get resurrected or whatever. His spirit is in a fire, he's basically returning from the astral plane to rally up a villain team to destroy/take over Pride Rock

 

[stphylcccs]

Conveniently, it seems the Lion Guard pilot takes place literally the day after the Lion King II intro, so that's nice I suppose

The following is a detailed timeline for the Cinderella/Little Mermaid movies and tie-in media. It should be worth noting that in the Little Mermaid tv show, Flounder is shown to meet Ariel while she is 15. This is later retconned in Ariel's Beginning for her to have known him since childhood.
(BC=before Cinderella, AC=after Cinderella - the split is the ball, being on the last day of 1BC)

16BC-1BC: The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning
1BC: The Little Mermaid seasons 1-3
1BC: Cinderella (0:00:00-0:56:47)
1AC: Cinderella (0:56:48-1:16:19)

1AC, a few months after Cinderella, Cinderella and Prince Charming get married, then upon returning from their honeymoon The Little Mermaid and Cinderella II's first story take place. Their dates are as follows:

Day 1: The Little Mermaid (0:00:00-0:18:57)
Day 2: The Little Mermaid (0:18:58-0:56:47)
Day 3: The Little Mermaid (0:56:48-1:04:14)
Day 4: Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (0:03:15-0:07:18)
Day 4: The Little Mermaid (1:04:15-1:15:29)
Day 5: Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (0:07:19-0:11:54)
Day 5: The Little Mermaid (1:16:38-1:18:16)
Day 5: Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (0:11:55-0:15:22)
Day 6: Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (0:15:23-0:22:26)

1AC: Cinderella II: Dreams Come True second story
2AC: Cinderella III: A Twist in Time present day events
2AC: Cinderella II: Dreams Come True final story
15AC: The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea

What a daunting task. This makes my Scooby-Doo universe chronology seem like child's play!

If we ever need an excuse for why a villain that should be dead returns we can always just blame Hades LOL. He resurrected Jafar..

True, true

 

[stphylcccs]

I've officially broken up for the Summer, but I'm going camping in like an hour and a half. I'll be back on Sunday night, so I probably won't update this much until then

 

[stphylcccs]

Return of Jafar shows what the Genie was doing once he was set free, and one of said things is "a race with Hercules" further strengthening that connection, so that's neat

It's cool in a way they kept in touch haha

Well I haven't verified that they don't clash in any way - the only way to watch the Aladdin series is to sail the seas or miraculously find someone selling it online, and I'm currently watching the Lion Guard which is 27.5 hours and I won't be able to do any good binging until Monday, but once I finish that hopefully I'll be able to find a good place to watch the Aladdin series. I don't wanna go straight to the crossover episode, cuz I do still wanna see the general vibe of the show, though I should be able to validate it by next Sunday

 

[Oliveoil2]

It's crazy how hard it is to find some of these things

Yeah. Honestly, I was outraged they have neither the Aladdin show, nor the Hercules show, on D+, yet they have the Little Mermaid show on there…
