8 Crazy Pixar Fan Theories
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Die.
At their best, Pixar movies are among the cleverest and deepest examples of cinema you'll find. Not bad for a company often dismissed as making films that are "for kids". As fans will understand, it's the ones who choose not to watch animation, in particular Pixar, who are missing out.
Even just looking at this year, with Inside Out they've produced what is not only the best movie of 2015 to date, but one that deals with a range of emotions in a way most 'adult' films couldn't compete with.
Their movies have heart and great characters, and can make you laugh and cry - often at the same time. Despite this depth, there is still need to go further, and find hidden meanings and links for the films. As with most things these days, there are a number of fan theories about Pixar.
They try to connect dots that are invisible, further our understanding of the world (or change it entirely), make everything even more emotional than it already is, and of course are crazier than the critters from Woody's Roundup. With two decades of movies to pore over, these are the Pixar fan theories that you need to know about.
8. Andy's Mother Is Emily
Think about Jessie's story in Toy Story 2, or even just listen to Jessie's song from the film, and you'll soon find yourself struggling to hold it together. Just like Woody and the gang have Andy, she too had a beloved owner, Emily. They were the best of friends, but was soon forgotten under her growing child's bed before eventually finding herself in a donation bin. I know, I'm sorry for bringing it up.
While she got a happy ending by becoming one of Andy's toys, could there also have been an unknown reunion of sorts as well? The theory goes that Andy's mother is actually Emily, Jessie's original owner.
This largely stems from the hat we often see Andy wearing, which just so happens to look like a worn version of Emily's, and is closer in design to Jessie's than Woody's. You can assume from when the toy was made, and the decor in Jessie's flashback montage, that she was with Emily around the '50s-'60s, and with Toy Story being in the '90s it would make Andy's mother the right age to have a son, one who has inherited her old cowgirl hat. Jessie did finally get her owner back, she just didn't know it.
