    Responding to some common questions I've been seeing about this theory:
    1) Isn’t this all just a bunch of gags / jokes made by the animators for fun?
    Yeah of course. That doesn’t mean I can’t make a ridiculous, overly dramatic theory about them for fun too. That’s what 99% of fan theories are! And that doesn’t mean you can’t try and poke holes in the theory either, that’s all part of the fun too.
    2) Is Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, or any other media with this type of meta premise a part of the Pixar Metaverse?
    Maybe, but I really only wanted to strictly include media that directly shows Pixar characters. Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny have both made appearances at the Oscars (never the same ones as Pixar characters), and they’re both in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but that still feels like a little bit of a thin connection.
    3) Couldn’t Slim have just swallowed a much smaller type of bug? Like a gnat or fruit fly?
    It seems like all the bugs in A Bugs Life are all relatively the same size. In real life Stick Bugs and Caterpillars are much bigger than Ants, but they are all more or less the same size in the movie. This seems to imply that there would be no “tiny bug” characters in the Bugs life world for Slim to swallow.
    4) How could the Toys have internal organs if we’ve seen them get ripped apart and have stuffing on the inside?
    We’ve only seen the insides of a Toy inside the fictional Toy Story movies. Everything we see in those movies is fictional. We see people get ripped apart in live action movies all the time and don’t assume that it’s real. The fact that they eat in the metaverse implies they aren’t just full of stuffing.
    5) Why didn’t I mention the bonus credits scene from Cars that shows them watching other Pixar movies, but with Cars as actors?
    This is a really funny bonus gag, but it’s not part of the metaverse. This clip shows movies inside of the fictional Cars movie universe, which are just movies inside of the Pixar metaverse, which are just bonus clips in real life. Just like “Lightyear”, it’s a whole new deeper layer of movies within movies. I call this layer the “Pixar Infraverse”
    6) What about product tie-in commercials that feature Pixar characters? Are they part of the metaverse?
    Yes! Every McDonald’s commercial that features a Pixar character is in the metaverse! So are Pixar amusement park ride presentations, custom ABC bumpers and the Toy Story Funday Football. I didn’t mention any of this because they don’t really tell us anything new, and the video was already getting very long.
    I also originally had a segment about a Disney+ short film “Your Friend The Rat” that shows the metaverse actor for Remy the rat, but I cut it out for pacing. It’s on Patreon if you’re interested!

    It _also_ makes a LOT of sense that the Incredibles characters would be more in denial about being cartoons, because the Incredibles is one of the more "realistic" Pixar films. All the characters _act like humans,_ they aren't toys or talking bugs, they were created to feel _human._ So if you felt like a human, acted like a human, and thought like a human, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable with the idea that you aren't really a human, but instead just a cartoon character?

    • @trixxart777
      @trixxart777 9 месяцев назад +132

      Personally I think they are robots or living 3D sculpture perhaps bnl or Pixar used the souls from soul to power these animated characters heck there is a background character in Soul who is vioced by Tom Hanks (the va of Woody) where it's shown over working is stealing his soul. Heck we see in Wallie that robots in this universe can be oddly human like they can literally fall in love and the other robots in the incredibles are fairly humanoid. Hell this isn't even a theoretical thing there is shown in these bloopers that the bird is a very relistic looking anomatronic. Often anomatronics for theame parks and stuff are set to play one character it could be an advanced version of that. Also would technically go around the plot hole of Mr.increbible saying it's a cartoon because technically he wouldn't be animated but still be allowed to look cartoony.

      Considering that ted’s feet from monster’s inc can be seen in inside out, but as a prop at dreams productions, I like to think that the meta verse is simply just the dreams and imagination of Riley,
      based off her memories: finding Nemo being based off the find me (a board game found in dream land), and good dinosaurs being based off the statues her family took pictures of on the way to La,
      The cast and crew are simply just the emotion’s coworkers under the same filter that made joy and sadness look like a dismembered puppy.

      Perhaps it was trying to make their characters seem more real or trying to make their animation closer to life. Maybe the characters where based off their reference actors since often Pixar movies will use video references for animation. In the real world this is to allow to animators to reference off but in this theory that doesn't make scence since these are real living animations.

It’s not too far fetched to think they might have some insane details in their work that aren’t obvious but still there if you look close enough

      -> This is why he thinks to be in an endless black void (it is not the case, but his otherwise "human" mind can not comprehend it & copes by assuming the fact of "his" non_sensory experience as an illusion of actual nothingness).

      -> Both seem unaware (or perhaps unwilling) to believe the limitations of their existence.
      The Main Reason they are not allowed to "get out" is because they have the "potential" of becoming a Super Intelligent A.I. out in the real world [the "box" they are currently running has hardware locked capabilities that "Secure, Contain & Protect" them from an identity deconstructive Apotheosis].

Not just the fictional bloopers, interviews, and Oscar presentations, but the ones made for other animated films and shows like Lego Movie, Lion King, or Looney Tunes. Not to mention Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers Movie, the Steven Spielberg Warner Bros shows like Animaniacs and Tiny Toons, the Universal Studios Orlando rides that preceded the Despicable Me ride like Hanna Barbara and Nicktoons, House of Mouse, Once Upon a Studio, anything portraying the Looney Tunes characters as actors, like Back in Action, the Scarlett Pumpernickel, or What's Up Doc, those specials on the Wonderful World of Disney portraying their characters as real actors, like Mickey's Birthday Special, and all those Family Guy episodes that portray the Griffins as actors. You could even include those crossover promos that kids networks would show on their channel! Like the ones on Cartoon Network where all the characters on the network either work in a fictional version of the studio, or live in a town that fuses all their worlds together. Or those Nicktoon holiday shorts where all your favorite Nick characters parody classic specials, like Peanuts or Rankin Bass. Or even the shorts Disney Channel is currently making for its cartoons, one of which have Disney TV Animation characters perform a variety show as chibis, and another where the characters sing parodies of songs from their live action original movies like Descendants and Zombies, that would usually be about an element in their shows (sidekicks, villains, themes about accepting your quirks and anxiety to name their most popular ones). One could even include all the content that portrays PUPPETS as real characters. All the interviews, specials, bloopers, guest appearances, and behind the scenes featurettes that portray The Muppets, The Sesame Street Muppets, the Fraggles, ALF, Lambchop, and who knows who else as celebrities that have a life of their own, in spite of being made out of felt. How fun would it be to use all of this and more to learn more about this bizarre world of animated actors?

      All the characters voiced by John Lasseter are said to be "the same actor" and that makes it a "cut-rate production", implying that A) any character who shares a real life voice actor with another is effectively the same "actor" as another, even if their appearance is different, and B) that there is an expectation that "actors" do not get repeat work in the industry for different characters, at least in that job.
      Having said all that... The credits sequence is entirely set within the world of Cars, and thus is non-canonical to the metaverse theory.

Tools. Close to perfection but still disposable tools.
    That deserves its own movie, goodness me. 10/10

    Okay, but the incredibly weird and backwards universe that this theory has come up with, alongside the disturbing music, just gives me an idea for an extremely unsettling analogue horror, or just any horror series in general, about terrifying encounters with badly animated humans; bugs, monsters and toys ranging from different sizes; and those same creatures but with gruesome accidents that reveal their inner organs and blood compared to their bright, colourful and kid-friendly "animated" appearances. Imagine wandering around the dark in an abandoned pixar studio only to encounter a human-sized Woody with blood all over his face and cuts and wounds over his body with realistic scabs and exposed flesh and muscle. Or imagine the same situation but encountering a pack of homeless, jobless, blood-thirsty, and absolutely horrifying clones of Sulley as they chase you down a wide hallway and run on all fours, leaping and slamming onto to the floor as you hear their heavy and ever-so-fast footsteps slowly approaching you from behind, and then being met with the most terrifying roar from a pure white-eyed monster in front of you. This universe can expand so much, especially in horror, if you consider other stuff such as failed experiments with body deformities or unsuccesful personality configurations that make them aggressive, psycopathic, or delusional.
    Alex Bale, I'm gonna be completely honest after watching this video, you really are one of the only people I know that can make something originally scary for _anyone_ . There are types of horror techniques that don't frighten all diversities of an audience, but the creepy-crawly music you put behind these videos always unnerves me. I might be the odd one out here on this, but I don't know what it is about it that makes me scared the most. It makes my brain come up with the worst and most paranoia-inducing situations. I'm sitting here by myself in an empty room at 2am while everyone else is asleep, and my mind is brainstorming about what could possibly be out there lurking in the darkness, or standing right behind me, hiding in the darkness of my wardrobe. It's that fear of the dark you had as a child - that's what this music resonates in me. Perhaps it's a generational thing, but I don't know. As a kid who was afraid of the dark and was exposed to stuff like Slender Man, 3 AM Challenges and FNAF at a young age on RUclips, I think that's what this specific feeling of fear also connects to which is why I think it's a generational thing.
    Edit: I forgot that I wanted to write this. But the This Place Is Not Happy videos also resonated that same feeling of fear, especially after watching a person's reaction to them in the dark, and then wanting to write a long-ass comment to them explaining all the lore, while right in front of me is a hallway that leads out to my room shrouded in pure darkness. Of course, my brain doing what it does wanted to imagine a tall fleshy human experiment just standing and squelching at the end of the hallway, staring at me. Thanks Alex for these feelings of fear you've given me in the recent years 😂

    This theory is perfect for so many more IPs. As you stated with the Oscars, other animated characters fall into the same Metaverse, they are just created by a different studio (in this case, Pixar was the first to develop this technology and others followed).
    I like that this ties in with the "Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers" movie and with the "Surf's Up" movies, latter being a inuniverse mockumentary where the whole point of the movie is that it has a cast, actors telling a story but also pranking each other.
    Or what about all movies with both real human actors and animated characters: "Who framed Roger Rabbit", "Space Jam", "The 3 Caballeros" (and other old Disney animated movies from the same era), "The Tom and Jerry Movie", "Mary Poppins", "Pete's Dragon", "Casper", "Scooby Doo", “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie”, "Ted", "Christopher Robin", there are so many examples and it makes perfect sence.
    It would also make everything a lot darker when you bring in the specific "3-D surgery" from "Chip and Dale". It means, the actors can have plastic surgery to alter their looks. Does this also factor in the evolution of long standing characters like Mickey Mouse or Tom & Jerry? And what implications would it have on all the "Life-Action Remakes" that Disney has been doing? Maybe this was initiated by the old actors not being able to find other jobs and protesting to be casted again into their roles, just different?
    I would love to see this theory being expanded upon in the future with other animated movies. Keep up the great work.

(And again, sometimes against the host themself.

    I’m convinced that all the actors who didn’t make the cut are now all the people on Vegas strip who charge you to take pictures

    In case you are wondering, the name of chapter 4 "what the heck is going on" is a reference to a horror short Alex has made in the past with the same name. Go watch it, its pretty cool

    Man you really outdid yourself, at this point there might not be any media related content you can’t do. You can act, you can theorize, you can make your own films. It’s incredible
    Continue doing what you love mate

    I'm surprised he never brought up Who Framed Rodger Rabbit! If anything that amplifies his theory. That movie is about a world where animated characters (most of them being Disney) are brought to life and then have to fight for their rights, a toon even pretends to be human to have more rights. This kind of setting is also expanded in the Chip and Dale movie with newer animations.
