13. Brave (2012)
Now we find ourselves at the end of the list with last summer's Brave. The film is very important to the overall theory because it is not only the oldest story Pixar has told yet but it also serves as a prequel to every Pixar film and sets up the entire world in which their movies take place. In Brave creatures are shown as having the ability to have intelligence by way of magic where people just consider it normal and live happily with the animals. Things change for the worse once the storyline of Brave ends. When magic is no longer existent the animals go into hiding for hundreds, if not thousands, of years or pretend to not have intelligence. Toy Story and A Bug's Life follow Brave in the time period of the theory and show a world of highly intelligent animals that have been growing more intelligent and resourceful since the years when Brave took place. Thanks so much for reading my crazy ramblings and I'd love to hear anything I may have missed in the comments section.
