What is the best order to watch the studio’s movies?

Pixar’s animations are responsible for marking the lives of thousands of people around the world, uniting different generations in front of the small screen just to check out the adventures of the classic characters.

With that in mind, the journalist Jon Negroni created a complex theory in 2013 where, based on easter eggs and the plots of each film, he claims that all Pixar films coexist in the same universe, but in different periods of history.

Since its creation, the hypothesis has become a huge success on the internet, attracting the attention of most animation fans who, with each film, are extremely excited to know which moment of the theory the new story will fit.
