Pixar Theory Timeline (headcanon)

I've added links to the Incredibles DVD-exclusives

Since there's a school dance at the end of Dream Productions, I'm moving it to mid/late June

Inside Out 2 takes place during the Summer, so it can't be 2005, since they'd be 12, not 13 (I previously assumed they turned 12 at the end of Inside Out, not afterwards). I'll be moving it (and Dream Productions) to 2006

I've only got 1 movie left (A Bug's Life), then I can add the rest of the shorts

The Good Dinosaur (2015) — Around 65 million years ago

The Good Dinosaur (2015) — Around 65 million years ago

I know it's ~65 million years ago, but since Dinosaurs had enough time to adapt and become more advanced, clearly a good amount of time has passed since the meteor would've hit, so I don't want to give an exact date

How're you going to work Toy Story 5 into this? Considering it deals with more modern technology and whatnot

Incredibles is retro-futuristic, I used it to explain away the advanced cars/motorbikes in Ratatouille, even though everything else in the movie screams '50s/'60s

While the futurism is mostly isolated to Municiberg, the fact that there are technological advancements (eg Bob uses old fashioned computers in the '60s) means that's probably happening everywhere

Since Boo seems to be 2, that places the Toy Story 4 Boo at 4 years after (6) and the present day events of Monsters Inc. at 2003. This would also place A Bug's Life in 2003

Finishing up some loose threads before moving onto the Sparkshorts:

Bao seems to be a Win or Lose situation (such a cheap way out of getting something in the Pixar Theory, but it is the only explanation for the short, Pixar Theory or otherwise). There are calendars, but they're Chinese Calendars, which I can't read. If anyone could tell me those, it would be a great deal of help. Until then, I'm placing Bao at its release date.

BURN-E and George & A.J. retcon small parts of their respective movies, so on the detailed timeline, I'll be using their renditions, not the movie's timestamps.

Alex (the child in Float) appears to be 2 in the first scene, and is canonically 4 in the next. Since it is based on a true story, I would base the timeline placements on the age of Alex in real life, though since it's personal information it isn't (easily) accessible on the internet, so I'll place it at its release date, with the first scene 2 years prior.
