Recently the web was abuzz about someone’s hilarious Pixar Universe theory that suggested that every one of their characters existed in a single universe and that all of their movies were connected in some way.
My 10 year-old son and movie aficionado Matthew and I were talking about this today and he said “Wouldn’t it be funny if we learned that DreamWorks also had a single universe theory and all of their movies were connected?”
I kind of instigated the theory because I said “How to Train Your Dragon” reminded me so much of the Shrek movies because of their similar time periods.
Then there is the whole theme of animals and insects breaking free from bondage (Bee Movie, Antz and the Madagascar series) and the warrior beasts with Kung Fu Panda and Rise of the Guardians. Then there is the monsters and aliens connection with MegaMind (the bad guy turned hero) and Monsters vs Aliens (same motif of villains turning into heroes).
Anyway, we know there really isn’t any merit to this theory. We are just having some fun.
Here’s just the beginning of the theory. We will flesh it out more as we go.
Feel free to contribute to it in the comments. 🙂
Here’s a list of all DreamWorks animated movies… just to whet your appetite.
where is despicable me on this list
All I have to contribute is that How to Train your Dragon is probably in the same time zone as Shrek. And there’s probably somewhere among the movies where there’s some magic that gives animals the ability to talk
I haven’t seen Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but if there’s some magic in there, that’s probably it
despicable me is not dreamworks

Yay Its a universal studios one though I’d love it if someone would be willing to write a little theory on it.
Honeslty my theory is that all the universes of Pixar, Dysney, and Dream works are connected so for the question or wonder of how the animals gained speech would be answer in the Pixar universe when in Brave the whitch uses her powers which eventually spread across the lands to animals and humans which the humans become superheroes (the incredibles) and the animals become intelligent (ratatouille) but then eventually the machines (cars/ incredibles) begin to also gain this power and the three species (mainly the humans and machines) have a war. Just look up the Pixar theory I YouTube there is a guy I watch (can’t remember his name) but he has many video of all the Pixar animated movie and how they fit into the Pixar universe but I so far (that I know of) that is really convinced that the three universes (Pixar, Dysney, and Dream works) are all connected.
What about Paulie 1998?
