Pixar Theory Timeline (headcanon)

Win or Lose immediately stats with a flash forward, before placing the show "1 week earlier". I've never seen it before, but I imagine it showed the finale episode, so the entire show takes place within the span of a week.

They do a "you'll get ''em next time" montage, which I'd usually say is one per game, but I'm pretty sure it's meant to be over the span of one game.

Very quickly Win or Lose throws out any doubts that it's 'just a sports show" since there's some sweat-monster-thing that seems to represent their anxiety. I'd say if Riley didn't calm down by the end of Inside Out 2, they probably would have developed one. It's hard to explain, I'd watch the show instead.

It also seems as though each episode is over the same events (kinda like that one AOS episode from Season 1 where they're on the train) which will be horrible for a detailed timeline but whatever.

The teacher says "No yeeting" as a do-not in a test, yet nobody really responded, so I'm assuming it takes place in the height of when "yeet" was slang (2014).

Frank seems to have had a past relationship with someone, and I've no idea where I'd place those.

I'm posting this before I finish episode 3, but I have one small problem, from a timeline perspective. WHY DID THEY MINIMALISE IT SO THAT YOU CAN'T READ BACKGROUND TEXT OR ALIGN CALENDARS
 
Well, someone sells a pair of shoes on eBid, which was also in Toy Story of Terror, so I guess that connects it to the Pixar Theory
 
Episode 6 has a lot of parallels to Inside Out, specifically with the Islands of Personality (I forgot what they're called)

@Dallas Kinard I'm just wondering what your reasoning for placing the NSA Files in the same year as Incredibles, and placing the Popcorn episodes 1 year after Incredibles II, are?

Honestly not sure. I think it may have to do with the last film being in October and the weather not seeming like it matched. I could be wrong about those placements.
 
The "grounds" Coach "makes" shares a resemblance to the Great Before, and he's clearly in the Zone, connecting it to Soul too
 
Turning Red starts with a montage, with the first and last dates being given, but the rest of it being somewhat obscure. The first is Chinese New Year 1994, then counting one year per picture it takes you to 2003, not far off from the Chinese New Year 2002 date it gives for Day 1 of the movie (nice, an actual date just served on a platter.) I'm going to assume going the 2 last ones, where Mae looks the same age, have her at the same age. Chinese New Year 2002 is 12-26 February, with a red moon occurring in that year, on May 26. Sadly, I feel as though I have to disregard the Chinese New Year date, since it isn't mentioned anywhere in the movie.
 
There were 2 Lunar Eclipses in 2002, one in May, and one in November. Neither of these were blood moons, however there was one in November 2003, which lines up with pictures in the montage, and a sign saying it's Canadian Indigenous People History Month (June).

Despite this, they say the next red moon with be the 25th, which is the May 2002 lunar eclipse. Mei says it's "A whole month away", which would place it in April, however on Mei's calendar she shows while planning how to make $800 to see 4•Town, there is an X on May 1, so days 1-2 are April 29/30, then Day 3 is Wednesday 1 May. That same scene cuts off to Mei's mum, with a calendar still reading April, however I am going to take the more deliberate calendar as more accurate.

A little way through into the montage, it shows 6 days have passed since the first. It later shows 9 days have passed (3 days after the first calendar). A vhs video in the montage reads "05/11/2002" placing it the day after.

After the montage, Mei says the concert is "this Saturday." The earliest this places this scene, is the 13th. Tyler says his party is "this Friday" placing it on the 17th.

The final events take place on (of course) the 25.
