Pixar Theory Timeline (headcanon)

I can't link Marine Life Interviews, but it seems to take place during Finding Dory, after each character initially parted ways with Dory
 
Assuming J.J. is 5 in Lou and 12 in Inside Out, that places the short 7 years prior to the film

I think it should go later? "All the kids on the playground are characters from Inside Out and Finding Dory that animators tweaked slightly."

The wiki says they're kindergarteners, and the kids in Finding Dory are most likely Riley's class anyway (they're 12 in the first movie, so I just worked backwards)
 
I've placed UPisode 1 after the others, since it shows they're already being hunted by the dogs, yet in the others they've clearly only recently entered the jungle
 
If there's any children's books about the Pixar movies, I'm just gonna ignore them because 1: there'd be too many, and 2: I don't want to include them

Riley's 11 in the first movie, 12 in the epilogue.

"For this story to work, the kids had to be old enough to have meaningful social interactions with each other as well as be somewhat unsupervised at times. An elementary school fit the bill." - Dave Mullins

Is that quote for Lou? (Also, thanks for clearing up Riley's age)
 
If the quote's for Lou, I'd say they'd be 9-10 years old. I'll put it at 2 years prior to Inside Out, to give them time to mature
 
My best placement for Groovin' with Ken is that it happens at some point during the Hawaiian Holiday toon, since the Dream House is shown to be in a house, not Sunnyside.

I also forgot to mention WALL-E: Treasures and Trinkets is most likely BnL doing some form of testing on WALL-E to figure out his human nature, since it all takes place in a white space
 
The Buzz Lightyear Mission Logs are based on when NASA brought a Buzz Lightyear toy to space as a promotion, so I'm putting it in the same month as when they landed (September 2009). Woody never appears in the logs, so it could still be justifiably then. Though, if Toy Story 5 contradicts it, I'll either move it to after Toy Story 2, or put it in the "Real World"
