I would say given the updated timeline, it's more the other way around. Buzz Lightyear of Star Command is that quintessential '90s cartoon loosely based on a popular movie/TV franchise that's aimed at an older audience, which in this case is the "live action" Lightyear movie. It has a wildly different cast, tone, and plot because it needed to be more kid-friendly so it would air during those long lost afterschool and Saturday morning kids shows blocks back when broadcast networks actually still had those.

In regards to Al's Toy Barn, anyone ever considered that maybe that's like a wholesale store, and that be bought up all the remaining Buzz Toys because it was no longer popular. Kinda like the Clearance Aisle in Walmarts or something. I mean if it was a "popular" movie, with so many toys...then why no Lightyear sequels for Andy to watch?

[@nitrobilder12]

Good point Ps btw you have a bot in your comets

[@anyawillowfan]

How do we know there aren't Lightyear sequels? One of the 3 credit scenes definitely set it up as if there will be a sequel (the question is if we'll see it, though that probably has a lot more to do with money, money, money).

[@Michaeljefferson9000]

The Buzz toys in 2 seemed to be new variant models, given the addition of the utility belt. I assume the reason why ATB exclusively stocked Buzz and Zurg toys was because as a 90's action movie hero and villain, those two would be the most popular characters and Al is looking to get the most profit from the associated demographic.

[@biancabrooks280]

Also, the rows do go on for quite a bit and we only see them at an angle. It could be that the other toys further down the shelf weren’t of Buzz per se, but of the other Rangers.

[@BabyGirlTiny]

@@anyawillowfan the issue is that there’s a show and a movie from that show so a sequel isn’t needed

[@pdeady3709]

The cars films would be a good option. Its always been an icky one to place and with the plaster/band-aid in finding Dory I'd say there was at least some evidence for it being a story within the universe instead of cars waking up and taking up their prior owners personalities.

[@WackoMcGoose]

It's also extremely compatible with the "if there's toys of them, then it's a fictional movie within the Pixarverse" conceit that Lightyear introduced. The Cars films... could literally just be the Pixarverse equivalent of Hot Wheels (or I guess the Chevron Cars are a bit more on the nose), and on one of the aisles in Al's Toy Barn that we don't get to see, there could be boxes upon boxes of Lightning McQueen, Mater, etc toy cars.

[@connorbeith3232]

Makes me a little sad tbh as I did like some of the concepts presented in the Cars segment of the theory like cars having the memories of their drivers.

[@comicfan1324]

Spoilers for Lightyear: Zurg (Toy Story): “I am your father.” Zurg (Lightyear): “I am you.” So how does that work if the toy version is meant to be based on the film? Or is this working off of comic book logic where the film is a different continuity from the particular buzz lightyear toy line?

[@syweb2]

Probably the latter. Alternatively, the toy Zurg is based on a hypothetical sequel where that is the twist, since Buzz already has his outfit from the end of Lightyear in Toy Story 1, and the utility belt accessory suggests that at least one sequel came out, probably two due to how much Buzz and Zurg are meant to riff on Star Wars and that was originally a trilogy.

Think about Batman - you see figures of Batman and the Joker but hardly ever any of Robin, Alfred, Gordon, etc. and when they are there it is one toy with only a few in stock.

What in the world-

[@hollyputvin917]

@@ajbryant1980 The Grogu animatronic of similar size to Sox, was retailed for around $70, maybe cheaper but it is not unreasonable. But that is in today's money, a real world ,at the same time as Toy Story, example would be the Furby. It was set at $30, however the demand for it by Christmas 1998, lunched it to $100 or more. So again Sox could have started at $30 but perhaps due to a similar demand has jumped to $70. Likely by Christmas at the end of the movie, being $100, which would be why Andy never got Sox. Although I think maybe he could have on the way to college, saw a Sox in someone's garbage and "rescued" him. Sure may have been teased about it, but he could show off his repair skills that he got from his mom and perhaps that is what he went on to do. Be a vintage toy repair person. Sure he can repair near toys too, but the classics like Woody and Buzz hold a special place in his heart. But its just a theory.

Latching onto the Chris Evans/Steve Rogers parallels, notice how Buzz in _Lightyear_ is driven and defined by being a space ranger. Now, recall in _Winter Soldier_ , Steve Rogers throws himself into being Captain America, and doesn't have much of a social life. Sam Wilson asks him when he visits the VA, "What makes you happy?" And Steve answer's, "...I don't know." *Incredibles Teacher Voice* Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

My idea about Lightyear is that it’s sorta a similar situation to Marvel where they had that live action film Andy saw and then there’s an animated series about Buzz Lightyear that the toy line is based on, like how marvel has the MCU of live action films alongside a number of animated tv shows and there’s action figures made for both

[@BabyGirlTiny]

The difference is that the Animated shows are based off of comics and not the movies as there are animated shows that wer made before the MCU was even a thing. Same with other movies like Spider-Man. The issue with Light year, is that the buzz lightyear of star command has absolutely nothing to do with the movie and the buzz in both are completely different

[@Xxgremlin_guyxX]

Ya that's what I said these guys must only watch pixar movies

[@izzyhope58]

OK, so I came up with something that I think really works for the pixar theory. Yes, Lightyear is a movie in the pixar universe. BUT it's also a real event that happened. So I think that the turnip is one of the Axiom ships that left earth before Wall-E. Then the events of Lightyear happen. When Zurg travels super far into the future, he meats the monsters (or whatever the monsters become even further down the line) and that's how zurg discovers how to travel back in time. Then after the end of lightyear, zurg eventually finds a way to travel even further back in time. He eventually travels all the way back, to around 1990 or 1985 and indirectly inspires the creation of the Lightyear movie, based on his story. Thats my theory

[@amesstarline5482]

Somehow, this helps explain the odd lack of Sox toys in Al's Toy Barn. In fact, what if he only collects Zurg and Buzz toys because he's the voice of animated-spinoff Zurg- Wayne Knight is Al and Star Command Zurg. He must've especially enjoyed the movie and was an ascended fan. So in the Toy Story lore, instead, Al is the VA. One of his sale-gimmicks could be "also starring the voice of Zurg from the show!".

[@BluntMatcheteAstartes345fghew]

Just like in marvel universe they created fictional content about them so i think the same with the incredibles.

[@13vatra]

I absolutely love that this movie is simultaneously the easiest film to fit into the Pixar theory, and yet also potentially throws some of the biggest wrenches we've ever seen into the Pixar theory as a whole. Fitting it into the Pixar theory only takes one sentence: "It's in world fiction in the Pixar universe." Yet, the mere existence of that explanation could easily derail huge parts of the theory if any other movie ever gets revealed to have that same explanation.

[@hikariblue]

So the other weird outlier (imo) is Onward - which was sort of settled as being on another planet after humans left Earth in the grand timeline of the theory. But if movies can be stories within stories now ... what if Onward is Andy's D&D game in college? Like, yeah, it could be anyone's game (my first thought was Mei and her friends get a game together but that doesn't fit the movie as well ... that's still a story I would love to see). But it just feels like the kind of game Andy would run. He's compassionate and creative and he'd try to bring some catharsis to every player at his table. And it really speaks of his own experiences both as a kid without a dad and as an older brother. Alternately - Onward could be the same point in the timeline as Monsters, but takes place on the planet that Buzz & Co. landed on, it's just it's fictional even to the prime universe so they evolved into fantasy creatures instead of monsters - so there's these two parallel realities where one is "prime" verse and one is "fiction" verse .... and we have to guess which one is which going forward. Next Level Pixar Theory makes the game more challenging! (Do I think either of these are the case? No, not really. But like the rest of the Pixar Theory it's really fun to think about!)

I personally like the idea that The Incredibles are indeed a movie but taken from real life examples. They may have taken rumors of people with special powers and made a movie with them to combat the rising cases of fear within children. It would also be a way for the actual Ai to play down it's current abilities by making a popular movie with an advanced Ai being taken out and related to fiction. This same logic can be applied to the second movie as well. The Ai put in mind control to shift the perception of mind control being a thing as well.

Just Watched light year on Disney+, and I actually believe that it’s a bit of both. Light year is in fact a movie that Andy saw as a kid, but at some point in the very far off distant future, The real buzz light-year is named by his parents, the father happens I have the last name Lightyear, so he just decides to name him after his favorite childhood hero, buzz. But just after this point, humans are forced to leave the planet, like we see in WallE, and while buy and large tries to evacuate the planet, they leave the task of finding a new hospitable planet to the space rangers. Buzz grows up and tries to become a space ranger, and we get Lightyear. The only reason Buzz doesn’t remember any of the events in the movie is because he was actually born in space, and movies don’t really exist on the ship he was born on. No one remembers movies, other than the previous generation, but they only saw them as kids.

Another idea: as we see the buzz Lightyear show sometime after TS2 (first three episodes made into a movie) perhaps, in canon, the show movie and movie movie were planned at similar times, but the show came out later.

[@487trentos]

I swear, everytime I listen to (because I listen to KZbin at work) one of your Pixar theories, I get the introduction song stuck in my head for HOURS!

[@Movietuff]

Good luck at not getting caught to your boss.

[@Jpeg.g]

Havent seen it yet, but they explicitly tell us its a fictional story within toy story.

[@damonmoles8306]

when are yalls gonna release th full track of your pixar theme song its awesome just like this therory keep up the good work

[@jeromevaleska2014]

J, Ben, do you guys remember when this movie was first announced and the concept was just ultra confusing? For anyone who doesn’t remember, the original concept was that inside the Pixar universe, Buzz was a real person, Zurg was a real person, Zurg was a tyrant who attacked the galaxy, Buzz defeated him and saves Earth. He becomes a hero. A movie is made based off him, that movie being Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, which is why it opens with Andy’s toys putting the VHS tape in and zooming in on Andy’s TV, and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command is the movie that Andy sees and starts the Buzz Lightyear craze. Lightyear was going to show the events of the real person Zurg saving the world and inspiring Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. My head hurts. Congrats if you made it to the end of this comment!

[@MellieVal]

This actually makes sense! Though convoluted, theories about our real life movies going into fictional movies into the fictional characters lives and THEIR own movies. Gotta love Pixar.

[@jeromevaleska2014]

@@ryansmith-jr4gn No, it hasn't. I'll try to find the article and give you the link but it's from like a year or two ago so I doubt I can. It was from pretty much the day it was announced, maybe a couple days late, the director was doing an interview and this is what he said it was. I think the Carlin Brothers might have actually done a video on this article but not sure.

[@SlipNJimmy]

@@jeromevaleska2014 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXzTkmuwfJ2bgNk Skip to 10:50 in the video. Pete Doctor says it’s a movie within Toy Story. This was when Lightyear was first announced

[@aprioriontoast704]

that would make more sense as buzz and zurg as toys don't follow the lore of the movie Lightyear but instead the lore of the video game. Buzz'a lines say that Emperor Zerg is planning to annihilate a planet and buzz is gonna meet up with Star command for the machine. Also zurg's toy design and lore is different, he is buzz's father and he has a clock.

[@DandTBros]

Pixar theory is my favorite theory

[@SuperCarlinBrothers]

same tho

[@celesteelka]

We've gotten to the point in the Pixar Theory that the Pixar movies were in fact, movies. All along. Huh.

[@osmosisjones4912]

If dinosaurs died out thousands of years ago instead of millions of years then Nessy is more likely to be a plesiosaur maybe she's amixa survivor of the past maybe Italy's sea monsters are full monster human hybrids

[@patsbama77]

bloopers totally count, I now consider it head canon that the bugs in bugs life made a movie lol

[@fourcatsandagarden]

on the note of 'where are the action figures'...it was the 90s. I remember 90s movies sometimes only releasing some characters as toys, sometimes even missing prominent characters. heck, they still do that to this day, with Disney missing that Luisa was going to be much more popular than Isabella. They made so much Isa merch and so little Luisa merch because they assumed everyone would want the Isa toys more.

[@zacharymathews3152]

In the movie Buzz says that Zerg is his self but in Pixar universe toy buzz says that is his dad

[@AshleysAdvice]

Here is a crazy theory, what if BNL is in charge of not just the robots and the axiom, but also make movies, this would explain why for example, cars takes place in a world similar to ours but with cars, people could be voice acting the cars and they could be telling a story of what’s to come but using cars instead of people to entertain children, since cars takes place over a few different years and is overlapping with different things that have already happened, it would make sense and BNL Being in charge of everything also fits with what we already know from the other movies in the Pixar universe, I don’t think it’s that big of a stretch for them to put their own advertising in the movie or for them to create movies when they’re able to do all this other stuff, it would also explain how they’re able to make a live action buzz light year movie in the 90s, If they also used their technology to make a live action talking car movie, but that’s just a theory.

[@insertclevernamehere1186]

I do have a way it could fit into the Pixar Theory, but only if you ignore the text at the beginning: Main plot of movie takes place before or after the events of Wall-E. Explosion of crystal launches Zurg back through space/time to Earth around time of Spitnik launch. Zurg tells of the greatest hero in the universe to preserve his legacy, helped by the fact that he knows most of the events that took place due to being Buzz. He gets a brand deal, a movie based on his own life (the producers don't know that) and a toy deal.

[@elvishpresley9692]

Ben for Kvothe!🧙🏻‍♂️🗡 J for Elodin!🧙🏻‍♂️🗡 Another great Pixar theory video!

[@dynaguy3]

A little suspicious that Boo had a clownfish toy that may have actually been a Finding Nemo toy. Her Jesse doll makes more sense since she’s from a famous show, Woody’s Roundup. But I guess Finding Nemo wasn’t a movie in the Pixar universe since it’s so important to the Pixar theory and the kid reading the Incredibles comic. This is confusing

[@SeanWheeler100]

Do we have to hold on to a fan theory that Pixar constantly denied? Lightyear destroyed it by being a feature-length Pixar movie that exists as a movie that Andy watched. And even if you try to consider the possibility that it's based on a true story and Buzz who existed in the Wall-E era travelled back in time to the 1990's, there's still the problem with how Zurg split the timeline because the whole Pixar theory is about every movie happening on one timeline, and the time travel Boo did to become the witch from Brave relied on the Novikov self-consistency principle, which is the only set of time travel rules that allows a story to stay on one single timeline. What Zurg did going back in time to become someone Buzz would never be invokes the multiverse rule where you create an alternate universe when you travel back in time. So, the single timeline aspect of the Pixar theory is dead now. We've got a Pixar multiverse. The movies don't have to be in some shared universe.

[@sebastianb1156]

TheTheorizer covers this exact theory

[@Zaxlz]

I thought I've seen Star Command on the Disney+ catalog. I haven't watched it, but I thought it was there

[@ballroomdancer2010]

INCEPTION!! XD There's a pixar Universe inside the Pixar Universe, with Toy Story being the top Universe! lol

[@myoungcache]

Let me just say that sponser countdown bar was sneaky. I always like when creators include it but the changing speed was clever.

[@davidzea-smith1417]

What about Cars? There is a Cars Band-Aid in Finding Dory and Cars was always one of the hardest movies to explain how it fits into the Pixar Theory. Are the Cars alive? How does car biology work in the world of Cars? I think it doesn't matter. Cars is a movie within the Pixar universe, just like Lightyear.

[@_ChoccooMilkk_]

What I think is, if it doesn’t revolve around people, it’s a movie in the Pixar world

[@wokenlunatic2849]

I think Buzz Lightyear take place in same time when Andy’s favourite film out (probably before or something because it would be strange that Buzz is real and in a movie at the same time) and when he went to The Future it’s The Same Time ether Wall-E or Monster.Inc

[@Dino-lv8eo]

First of all thanks for the expansion of the theory, and is it just me or is Ben more active on the channel than J now?

[@KiloCreates0_0]

In my head cannon I think Lightyear is a retelling of the 1995 movie and not the actual one

[@intdisaster]

9:29 I honestly was going to ask: Why haven't you made a pixar theory video on A Bug's Life?

[@tgbluewolf]

Getting a soul didn't take away his purpose, it simply helped him realize that he'd been misunderstanding his purpose the whole time.

[@jeremymorris345]

5:23 I love that show

[@michaelwinter742]

8:20 - the toys in the shelf are the ones nobody wanted to buy.

[@j.asmrgaming1228]

Every single pixar movie are just movies Andy watches over the course of his childhood which causes him to have an overactive imagination where he imagines his toys having adventures of their own. The entire pixar universe is just one kid and his family.

[@Marlodrama]

That quick read on why Al doesn’t stock any action figures but buzz made me cackle. Definitely tracks.

[@krystalmendez2994]

You guys NEED to do an updated video talking about the Pixar theory in full!

[@joshuasgameplays9850]

The PEU (Pixar extended universe) contains several narrative layers one on top of the other, Kind of like the SCP Foundation, With the universe of Lightyear taking place on a narrative layer under that of the Toy Story franchise.

[@chubby_deity3143]

I think it would be a lot of fun reconstructing the Pixar Theory into "Pixar Reality" and Pixar Movies"

[@keragifkins4791]

It could be a magazine instead of a comic book

[@honneybear3167]

The Incredibles thing I think is like in Logan how the kid mutants are trying to head to a safe place found in an X-Men comic. The X-Men exist in that universe and therefore many comic books and I'm sure cartoons were made about them

[@thatonehufflepuff3643]

✨I love the Pixar theory ♥️✨

[@unrellated]

Here's something interesting you might want to get a head start on. The next Pixar movie will be called "Elemental", and takes place in a world inhabited by manifestations of the four classical elements. As in, the people are actually made out of fire, water, air, or earth (except the last one is referred to as "land"). One of the leads is a water elemental named Wade. In Lightyear, the vending machine that dispenses the Meat Sandwich also sells a product called "Wade Water" with a cartoony image of Wade on the bottle.

[@swiatowidciesslak6249]

Idea for a new series of videos: which Pixar movies are movies in Toy Story universe. You can talk about every Pixar movie abut this very topic, show arguments against and pro it and conkluded if movie, in your opinion, is a movie in TS universe or not.

[@AngelJuliet]

We would have to question all of the Easter eggs in Pixar. Don’t forget Toy Story 2 also had a blooper reel where it seemed like the toys (or someone) was filming them

[@karenz3853]

The Incredibles could be like Logan where there are X-men comics in an X-men movie

[@emeraldemperor2601]

This kinda ties into the Theorizer's theory that every pixar movie contains every other pixar movie as a fictional movie
