ruin

your

childhood

! If you're brave enough, let's explore 10 scary Pixar

movie

theories

. (brilliant music) - Amazing! - Number 10, rise of toys. The Toy Story franchise is what started it all for Pixar and, like a Duracell-powered toy bunny, is still going today. The series may seem like a harmless

movie

about the connection between children and toys, but there's nothing like an overarching theory to

ruin

your

day.

The relationships between young Andy and his posable friends seem touching, but they may hide a dark secret. Toy Story toys generally receive difficult treatment at the hands of humans, and their situation is comparable to slavery in many ways. They are forced to repress their personalities, living a life in secret in constant service to their masters, and are even branded. This all seems ridiculous, until you consider the possibility that toys could actually be alive, either as an A.I. machines or otherwise. The theory even goes so far as to suggest that all seemingly inanimate objects that possess a touch of personality are alive in Pixar's universe.

This is where Cars comes in. The human-free world of talking cars is speculated to be a future where sentient machines from the Toy Story era have risen up and taken over. This also ties into the events of WALL-E, where humans were evacuated from Earth. What if the story of too much trash forcing humans off Earth in WALL-E was simply a cover-up, hiding the fact that evil, living objects had forced humans off? Maybe Toy Story 5

will

even feature Woody channeling his inner Chucky. Well, I'm not going to sleep tonight. Number nine, Boo's endless quest. The unique Scottish fantasy film, Brave, may seem unique in Pixar's catalog.

But it contains some undeniable links to the adventures of Mike Wazowski and his friends. Some believe that Brave's magical, wrinkled old witch is none other than Sully's tiny friend, Boo! Because? The answer lies in those Monsters Inc doors that take the Monsters to different places and what they actually do. Supposedly, they can take you all over the human world, but what if these portals could take you through both time and space? According to supporters of this theory, Boo dedicated her life after Monsters Inc to searching for Sully and, in doing so, ended up going back in time to the world of Brave.

It's clear that the Brave witch has harnessed the eternal magic of the Will-o-Wisps. In fact, the witch disappears without a trace after entering a door in her cabin, suggesting an ability similar to the doors in Monsters Inc. It's possible that Boo discovered this power in his own time and harnessed it to create magical doors. to reach Sully, but was apparently unsuccessful and remained in the beautiful Scotland of yesteryear. To lend credence to the theory, the witch's cabin even has a carving of Sully on display, possibly a reminder of her old friend. But here's the part that ruins

childhood

: Boo's grown up now, and after all those years of trying, it looks like he'll never see her Kitty again.

Number eight, a monstrous plague. Monsters Inc is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to scary

theories

. The aforementioned theory that doors can travel in both time and space could explain the Monster's extreme fear of children. Initially, it seems that the monsters fear a War of the Worlds-style scenario, where contamination by alien microbes from the human world could wipe them out. But Sully and Mike's immunity to Boo seems to discredit this. However, don't dismiss the monster's fear of humans as irrational just yet. If the doors can travel through time, it is quite possible that at some point, one or more monsters traveled to the 14th century on a terrifying mission.

If they visited Europe, say, in 1348, they might have entered the bedroom of a highly infectious victim of the Black Death. Possibly even a room full of plague-ridden corpses. If the infection spread to them, even the furry beasts would do well to be petrified. After all, experiencing huge blood-filled boils, intense pain, fever, diarrhea, and death is no one's idea of ​​fun. With that risk factor, one would think they would look for alternative energy sources to screaming children. But I don't even have a tail, so what do I know? Number seven, Monsterpolis of the future. In 2015's Inside Out, we assume that the beings inside Riley's head, as well as his imaginary friend Bing Bong, are representations of his emotions or products of his imagination.

But what if they existed in a much more literal way? Real-world research in recent years has hinted that bacteria present in our bodies and brains have the ability to influence our emotions and brain functions. So what if the creatures in Riley's head are actually some kind of mind-controlling bacteria? To take it a step further, looking at the appearance of him, especially Bing Bong, could these creatures be precursors to the monsters from Monsters Inc? The theory suggests that these bacteria evolved for thousands of years after Inside Out, leaving their human hosts, growing in size, establishing their own civilizations, and becoming less humanoid in shape, before finally taking on the forms we see in Mike, Sully, and his colleagues.

Number six, Nemo the nobody. Finding Nemo is one of the most heartbreaking Pixar films. It begins with tragedy and then increases in depression when Nemo disappears. In the end, there is a happy ending, but what if the whole adventure was a lie? Marlin clings to Nemo because he is the last remaining member of his family after losing the rest in a barracuda attack. But some theorists believe that Nemo also died and we are witnessing Marlin go through the five stages of grief. First, there is denial, Marlin convinces himself that Nemo survived the barracuda attack. Then the anger, Marlin's constant overprotectiveness, and the arguments with his imaginary son.

And the bargaining, Marlin's desire to help Dory in exchange for helping him look for his son. Followed by desperation, Marlin feverishly discovers that his son has disappeared, with the dwindling hope of finding him. And finally, acceptance, when Marlin finds Nemo and finally lets him swim to the school at the end of the movie, which, of course, is his way of letting go of the illusion that Nemo is still alive. As for the scenes in the fish tank and others where Marlin is not present, Marlin could have easily imagined these scenarios to keep Nemo alive in his mind.

To top it all off, there is the meaning of the name Nemo itself. You might assume it's named after Captain Nemo, but what is the English translation of this Latin word? Nobody. Marlin is trying to locate Nobody. Amazing. Number five, father figure. Toys are very important to Andy, the child protagonist of the first two Toy Story films. However, according to one theory, they are more than just toys. Fans noted the complete absence of the boy's father, as well as the fact that there are no photographs of him in the house. This led them to conclude that Andy's father did not die, but rather that he abandoned his family.

Not only that, but Tom Hanks' heroic cowboy fills the void, taking on the role of a strange plastic father figure. Through Andy's vivid imagination, Woody comes to life and possesses the traits of loyalty and altruism that Andy's absent father lacked. Andy speaks of Woody in glowing terms, idolizing him as someone who is always there, filling an important void in his young life. It could even be interpreted that Andy gave up his toys in the third installment as a symbolic act that he no longer needs that emotional crutch. The filmmakers say they had a limited budget for so many characters, so Dad didn't make the cut.

But we know better, right? Number four, the headquarters of Sully's destiny. Sully from Monsters Inc is a truly memorable character. Voiced by John Goodman, Sully was a labor of love for the animators in terms of the amount of work it took to make every strand of his colorful fur. And it is that fur that forms the center of this disturbing theory. He goes back to one of the Monsters Inc villains, Randall Boggs. Randall tells Sully that humans have been known to skin monsters and use them as toilet seat covers. As a throwaway line, it's pretty funny.

But fast forward a decade to the Toy Story spin-off short, Partysaurus Rex, and you'll see a very disturbing sight in the bathroom. A toilet seat cover that perfectly resembles Sully's fur. Turns out, Randall wasn't kidding after all. It seems that Sully walked into the wrong room and gave him the last scare. Maybe that's why Boo never found it. Number three, Wheezy the villain. Toy Story 2 introduces us to Wheezy, who is about as far from being a threat as possible. We can't help but feel sorry for him knowing that he was left on the shelf, collecting dust for so long after his squeaker broke through no fault of his own.

But one twisted theory paints Wheezy as a bitter mastermind who manipulates Woody and sets the film's events in motion. Most people think that Wheezy ended up at the garage sale, where Woody would later be stolen by Big Al, by accident. But this theory suggests that Wheezy orchestrated the whole thing, knowing that Woody, being the heroic toy that he is, would come to his rescue on the road and inevitably be taken away from Andy. With Woody out of the picture, Wheezy hoped to receive the attention that Woody had been getting for so long. It makes sense that spending so much time in isolation would have turned Wheezy into a bitter, twisted, screeching penguin.

Admittedly, that last part somewhat undermines the intimidation factor. Number two, the mariticide of Wreck-It Ralph. Sometimes what is not seen is scarier than what is shown. Take this scene in Wreck It Ralph, where Calhoun attacks the Cy-Bug that ate his beloved. Instead of seeing the monster getting what he deserves, the filmmakers opt for a close-up of Calhoun's horrified face. It would seem that she is horrified because her future husband has just become Cy-Bug Supper. But her look of horror runs deeper. You see, Cy-Bugs always take the shape of the things they eat. So what Calhoun was seeing when she opened fire could very well have been some horrible hybrid of a Cy-Bug and her dead husband.

Just seconds after watching her husband die once, she would have to kill him again. That's the kind of thing that

will

land you in therapy for years. Number one, Boo's Stockholm Syndrome. Just when you thought Monsters Inc couldn't be dragged any further into the dark, supernatural depths, it's time for the most disturbing theory of all. To the untrained eye, it looks like Boo is having a lot of fun with her monstrous companions throughout the movie. But what if Monstropolis wasn't a real place, nor were its inhabitants? What if the story of Monsters Inc is simply a warped memory left in Boo's mind after kidnapping him?

Look at things from Boo's family's point of view. To them, Boo could have disappeared for days, only to reappear talking about a giant, hairy individual who appeared in her room at night, tried to make her scream, and then took her to places unknown. Could it be that Sully was actually some overly hairy midnight creeper running around kidnapping children? She maybe even wore a blue and purple shirt. Whatever happens on this trip, Boo may have developed Stockholm Syndrome and learned to love her kidnapper. Or perhaps her mind repressed the horrible memories of her, turning the horrible people involved into lovable, colorful characters, as a way to help her cope with the trauma of the entire ordeal.

Either way, it's a twisted theory and I'll never be able to look at Monsters Inc the same way. Sorry for ruining your childhood! If you somehow avoided being traumatized by these alternate takes, do you know of even more disturbing Pixar theories?
