If you are a fan of pixar movies, you will know that every time a new installment is released, there is a whole legion of fans who flood the Internet with their new theories. According to many fans, all Pixar movies are not only connected, but they occur in the same universe. And, obviously, the forums have already been filled with explanations about how Red connects with the rest of Pixar movies.
Yes, Red is in the Pixarverse
Disney has on its hands something even more ambitious than the Marvel Cinematic Universe: the Pixar Cinematic Universe. The Pixar theory It is an idea that the writer started in 2015 jon negroni, which ensured that all the animated films of this study take place in the same universe and are connected. Something similar to what happens with Tarantino’s films, since this theory has never been fully confirmed by Disney. Still, every Pixar movie released falls within the limits that Negroni set seven years ago.
The timeline of the Pixar Theory goes back 65 million years in Arlo’s Journey until the year 5,000 in SA monsters. On this occasion, the plot of Net it is quite current. The film deals with the life of Mei Lee, a thirteen-year-old teenager who faces the typical changes of adolescence, but in a special way. Her hormonal changes not only give her mood swings and pimples, but she also sporadically transforms into a huge red panda bear due to genes from their ancestors. While inside-out explained to us in a very elegant way how childhood depression works, Net it does the same with puberty.

The connection between Red and Toy Story
According to the director of Netthe plot of the film takes place in the year 2002. With this fact alone, the first association with another Pixarverse movie is already made: Lightyear. Apparently, that movie—which is the one we’ll see in June of this year—was the one Andy saw in the theater just before he set aside Woody as his favorite toy. And in the world of Net —which is the same world as Andy’s in toy story—, said film has already been released, as is obvious. We can see a clear reference to said film in a sticker that is attached to the skateboard from one of Mei’s friends.
There are also references to Coco en Red
However, there is a much more obvious relationship with Coconut. This detail has been discovered by TikTok user Peter Kalife. During a moment in the film, while Mei is talking to her friends in the school corridor, there is a character who crosses paths with them. And they all look at him. Well, she wears a t-shirt that says ‘Scapula‘. The same logo comes from the movie Coconut. Specifically, it was a magical musical band formed by skeletons.

These are the two most obvious references, but as the months go by, we are sure that more and more will appear. There are other subtle references, like the cardboard Pizza Planet or their delivery vans. In any case, the theory is still intact with this new installment.
