| 0:00.0 | Hey brother guys at long last Pixar has finally released its brand new movie onward |
| 0:06.4 | which means that once again it is time to expand the Pixar universe and of course |
| 0:25.0 | the Pixar theory and of course the Pixar Theory. And let me just tell you this one is awesome. Hey Brother! Good warning that this video will contain spoilers for Onward. |
| 0:30.0 | The Pixar theory, in case you are unaware, is the idea that every Pixar movie takes place inside the same universe on one giant timeline. |
