Pixar Theory Timeline (headcanon)

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

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.
 
I'm not feeling very motivated to do the Sparkshorts right now, so I'm probably going to give this a break until I can get my hands on the Elastigirl prequel book
 
Turning Red's interesting, because Mei is the only person in Pixar history shown to be able to break the fourth wall. Joy narrates the Inside Out movies, but it's different (like how Jessica Jones narrates… Jessica Jones, or how Agent Carter/Arrow have narrations by the main character in the intros). Just thought I'd mention it here
 
Purl throws a spanner in the works, lore wise, since there are just balls of yarn coexisting with people. I'm gonna say they came to life through Zero Point Energy, since they gained eyes/mouths (like in The Blue Umbrella). Because of this, I'm assuming scientists were trying to recreate it, using yarn as test subjects. They seem to be racially prejudiced at the start of the short, but in the epilogue (which I'm assuming is a year later) they are coexisting with humans. I'm placing this at the end of the timeline, before Cars/For the Birds
 
Since the people in Self are basically dolls, I'm assuming it's an imagination sequence, like the start of Toy Story 3 (it's the only thing I can think of that works for the Pixar Theory). Due to how the migrant "doll" appears, I'm placing it in the early 20th century, before Presto
 
Nona has a picture frame of Mama Coco, placing it around that time. A calendar marks it at the 20th, but doesn't include the month. Assuming its the same year as its release, 2021 (which lines up with the Mama Coco picture) it would have to be March 20, 2021
