[@O.D25]

Honestly, the fact that the Incredibles actor are so desperate to making the interviewer to see them as real people is actually pretty sad, given that they were the first actual human characters Pixar had as main characters and that even THEY don‘t have the same rights as real humans.

[@dowesschule]

Right? I thought it‘s part of their belief that they are real. But they aren’t.

I feel like the MUSE is making him going mad. Hence the itches. But thats just a theory

[@lasercraft32]

It _also_ makes a LOT of sense that the Incredibles characters would be more in denial about being cartoons, because the Incredibles is one of the more "realistic" Pixar films. All the characters _act like humans,_ they aren't toys or talking bugs, they were created to feel _human._ So if you felt like a human, acted like a human, and thought like a human, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable with the idea that you aren't really a human, but instead just a cartoon character?

[@trixxart777]

Personally I think they are robots or living 3D sculpture perhaps bnl or Pixar used the souls from soul to power these animated characters heck there is a background character in Soul who is vioced by Tom Hanks (the va of Woody) where it's shown over working is stealing his soul. Heck we see in Wallie that robots in this universe can be oddly human like they can literally fall in love and the other robots in the incredibles are fairly humanoid. Hell this isn't even a theoretical thing there is shown in these bloopers that the bird is a very relistic looking anomatronic. Often anomatronics for theame parks and stuff are set to play one character it could be an advanced version of that. Also would technically go around the plot hole of Mr.increbible saying it's a cartoon because technically he wouldn't be animated but still be allowed to look cartoony.

[@marcusanark2541]

[@patax144]

[@mistertwister2000]

My favorite thing about the Pixar Theory is that it was mildly overblown when it was first proposed, but now with movies like Onward and Elemental in the mix it just completely fucks the whole thing up

[@StarChaser1879]

[@DefinitelyObiwanKenobi]

For onward if you see ravens point mountain and if you put the blueprints for the axium they line up almost perfectly

[@RRGreiner]

How did you miss the OBVIOUS bigger issue here. They admitted that the characters require a human soul to create. "Computers alone did not create Toy Story. Toy Story carries a human spirit." That is how they create living animations, they use human souls. The real story here , the real question you should be asking, is how do they harvest these souls?

[@dafilmqueen556]

True, especially since the actors who voice them would need to be alive in order to voice other characters. Could it be that in order to bring them to life, they desecrate the dead, similar to Frankenstein, and liven them up using computers, a body, and voiceover work from actors?

[@jackalenterprisesofohio]

Well, you do know Hollywood has a certain uhhh child reputation. What's to say certain uhhh "people" finish "auditioning" children, and then the children uhhh "chose to work for Pixar" afterwards. I mean think about it, whatever happened to "Epson island?"

[@MidnytRaccoon]

This is why in the movie Chip and Dale rescue rangers, ugly sonic is a hobo. It just ties perfectly with the animation metaverse.

[@d4rkmn643]

Holy shit that makes a lot of sense. Also explains that they delayed the movie, as they had to reshoot the entire movie but with a different and better looking actor instead

[@patax144]

My thoughts exactly Ugly Sonic is proof, he is a failed clone that is both riding the meme and trying to differentiate himself from proper sonic by adding the ugly he clearly went through stuff before his appearance in the movie.

[@MaximizedAnimation]

One thing in the bloopers that also felt weird was the one where Slinky's backside was revealed to have its own consciousness and Slinky's frontside was complimenting its good acting and petting it like it was a dog. If we go by what was theorized here, does that mean Pixar created multiple copies of both halves of Slinky, and that there are a bunch of sentient dog butts walking around unable to find work because they don't have faces and can only communicate in Luxo Jr. lamp noises?

[@MovieFan1912]

Honestly, this theory not only holds more ground than Negroni’s theory, but the idea behind it, that animation studios, in this world, are able to create life itself, whatever they want it to be, is putting me in mind of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and I mean that as a high compliment.

[@geoffreyrichards6079]

That movie is about a world where animated characters (most of them being Disney) are brought to life and then have to fight for their rights, a toon even pretends to be human to have more rights. This kind of setting is also expanded in the Chip and Dale movie with newer animations.

Perhaps it was trying to make their characters seem more real or trying to make their animation closer to life. Maybe the characters where based off their reference actors since often Pixar movies will use video references for animation. In the real world this is to allow to animators to reference off but in this theory that doesn't make scence since these are real living animations.

I’d imagine that the real world is just the main platform for the characters to visit and they’ll be able to transport into their own separate universes whenever, roblox or littlebigplanet style. It would make sense for why it’s called the metaverse after all

[@shockthetoast]

Not to mention how it connected again at the end... is the Alex stuck in the bloopers and the Alex stuck in the infomercial the same Alex, or different ones?

[@adolfodef]

@@shockthetoast They are different. The Alex from the Infomercial is NEVER SEEN (because it was not necessary for him to have a body); hence it was created as a "disembodied" voice with no functional eyes or skin/nerves, only a mouth that can talk & ears that can hear [or more likely, the virtual or mechanical equivalents. -> This is why he thinks to be in an endless black void (it is not the case, but his otherwise "human" mind can not comprehend it & copes by assuming the fact of "his" non_sensory experience as an illusion of actual nothingness). - - - - . The Alex from the bloopers at the end is likely built in the same way, but he at least has the luxury of a (limited, relative to himself) "pocket dimension" were he can exist with a metaphysical body [there is even a "cat" to give him company]; plus other voices (likely made as prototypes of the other Alex) who can also interact with him verbally. -> Both seem unaware (or perhaps unwilling) to believe the limitations of their existence. The Main Reason they are not allowed to "get out" is because they have the "potential" of becoming a Super Intelligent A.I. out in the real world [the "box" they are currently running has hardware locked capabilities that "Secure, Contain & Protect" them from an identity deconstructive Apotheosis].

[@kidkaden5139]

That one blooper of the bird actually being an animatronic will always be uncanny to me. I think it's a mix of the size of bird with the camera angel and the outdated cgi making it look either metal or plastic. Even as a kid I always thought that scene was kinda weird but cool seeing the bird act and sound normal until you hear the clanking of metal when it moves its head pretty unsettling

[@itsthekyle8841]

Alex I genuinely think this is your most plausible yet. An underlying story about these characters we love as kids being crushed underneath the boot of Hollywood and the filmmaking industry by those that make them, is such a genuinely real commentary on the film industry, which seems like an underlying secret message writers as amazing as those in early Pixar would hide through such Easter eggs and “Behind the Scenes” footage. Incredible job on this one Alex

[@kylemorello4787]

It's such a good theory, the only flaw with it is that it makes you want more. I get that this is an alternative to the Pixar theory, but he brought all the other animated characters that appeared in the Oscars into it, it made me want to explore this metaverse beyond Pixar! One could do an entire series of based on the thesis that every piece of media that portrays cartoon characters, CG characters, stop motion characters, or even puppets as real, living celebrities.

[@LucamacGuy]

Another point I think should be mentioned: as Pixar progressed, the quality of their animations also increased: maybe even the successful copies got replaced in later sequels as their copying /animation technology improved?

[@teddyobrien4801]

I like to think all the rejected character clones go on to star in commercials for Walmart, Happy Meals, etc.

[@GamerMage2k-kl4iq]

Oh shoot…

[@LOC-Ness]

And character designs can change a lot during production. How many copies end up on the street because their designs aren't used.

[@tiablue9106]

the parr family we see in incredibles 2 are not the same ones from the first incredibles, then. in real-life pixar, their old models weren't compatible w/ the new systems and they had to be remade (hence why they look a bit different). so in the pixar metaverse, the og parr family has been replaced w/ more detailed, near-identical parrs. that also explains why characters like tony rydinger--and then bo peep and young andy in toy story 4--look so different, even in flashback scenes. they're different animations entirely

[@quangamershyguyyz7166]

@@tiablue9106I don’t believe that. I like to think that the characters made for the sequel are the exact same as the ones from the original movie, but Pixar can update the designs for the originals in real time to adjust them into the new movie, rather than being replaced entirely. So that way all of the characters are still the originals and it explains why some of them get updated designs in later movies.

It was pretty well written. Had a decent joke about the minions starting WW1, and legitimate observations about their roles in the movies and the implications on their background therein. To long can't read because it's fine forever and I'm sad now; minions are invincible symbiotic parasites that since the beginning of life on earth have kept the gears of conflict oiled with the blood of their host's enemies (and often the host themself, eventually) by serving in wartime industrial production and occasional direct military action, like with Napoleon. (And again, sometimes against the host themself. Like with Napoleon.) they are fully capable of living a peaceful and happy life in isolation, yet for almost all of history they chose to actively do harm unto the world or contribute to harm already being done. They are undeserving of sympathy, both in-universe and in reality.
