  • There's this interesting theory out there that every Pixar film exists in the same universe, that they're connected by overarching themes that place them along a single, unified timeline.

    一個有趣的說法是,每一部皮克斯電影都存在同一個宇宙中。也就是說,他們雖然具有包羅萬象的主題,但是卻連結存在於同一個時間軸 。

  • Since the hit-making animation studio is set to release two more films in the next few months, I thought it'd be interesting to put the theory out there, and start a conversation.

    恰好這個創造奇蹟的動畫工作室計畫在未來的幾個月內再上映二部電影,我想若將這個理論提出以開啟話題的話,一定會很有趣 。

  • It begins with Brave, and Merida discovering the "the-will-of-the-wisps."

    這一切由「勇敢傳說」中,梅莉達發現了「鬼火的意志」開始。

  • This magic turns her mother into a bear, and is the reason why animals and inanimate objects behave like humans.

    這個魔法將她媽媽變成了一隻熊,而這也說明了為何動物及非生物能有像人類一樣的行為表現。

  • A witch uses this magic and mysteriously vanishes through wooden doors.

    一位巫婆在使用魔法後穿越木門並神秘消失了。

  • The magic from the will of the wisps eventually leads to superheroes, who maintain order and justice in the world.

    而這個魔法最後促成了超級英雄,也就是負責維持世界的秩序與正義的角色。

  • But the villain Buddy introduces artificially intelligent robots which try and destroy the superhumans.

    但是反派巴迪想利用人工智慧機器人來測試並摧毀超級英雄。

  • He also harnesses Zero Point Energy, a power source that exists in wavelengths and gives life to toys, which learn that another energy source is human love, upon which they thrive.

    他還聚集了「零點能量」,也就是一種以波長形式存在的能量來源,且可以將生命賦與給玩具。而玩具並發現了另一種能量來源,也就是人類的愛,並藉此成長茁壯。

  • In the first movie, the gang begins to understand what happens to toys that are isolated from humans.

    在「玩具總動員」第一集中,玩具們開始瞭解被人類隔離的玩具發生了什麼事。

  • In the second film, the toys evolve to become more self-aware and begin questioning their purpose.

    第二集中,玩具們變得更有自我意識,而且開始對自己存在的意義產生疑惑。

  • And certain toys, like Jesse, begin to resent their human owners for abandoning them.

    而特定的玩具,例如潔西,便開始怨恨丟棄他們的主人。

  • Resentment is felt by animals too.

    動物們也出現了這種怨恨。

  • We learn that fish have very advanced intelligence and are suffering from human pollution and experimentation.

    我們知道魚類有相當高的智慧,並且受害於到人類製造的汙染和實驗。

  • They too begin to resent humans for their lack of concern for nature and the environment.

    他們也同樣開始對不關心大自然和環境的人類感到憤恨。

  • In Remy, we see an even more advanced animal who walks on his hind legs, can read, and cook better than all the other humans.

    在「料理鼠王」中出現了更高階的動物。小米能用後腿走路、能讀文字,甚至比人類更擅長烹飪。

  • His relationship with Linguini is also the first time we see communication between animals and humans, but the tides are beginning to turn, as Remy essentially uses Linguini as his controllable cooking machine.

    牠和小林的關係也是我們第一次實際看到動物與人類的溝通,但是主控權卻隨著小米把小林當作烹飪的機器操控而逐漸轉變。

  • Three years later, the toys are also ready to take over.

    三年後,玩具們也準備好接掌人類的世界了。

  • They're fed up with being abused, and some characters, like Lotso the Huggin' Bear, hate humans with a passion.

    他們早已厭倦了被傷害的日子,而其中一些例如熊抱哥等的角色,更因為被人類遺棄而變得非常憎恨人類。

  • Meanwhile, as a result of the increasing dominance of the BnL corporation, Carl is forced to give up his property.

    而隨著大買家集團 (BnL corporation) 逐漸壯大,卡爾被迫放棄了他的土地。

  • This foreshadows that BnL is the cause of widespread pollution that wipes out life on earth in the future.

    這揭露了大買家集團是造成大規模汙染並且消滅地球生命的原兇。

  • Carl also discovers that animals can communicate with humans, and he learns how bitter they are at their subservient role.

    卡爾也發現動物能與人類溝通,而他也瞭解到動物在附屬於人類的生活之中是多麼的艱苦。

  • When the animals finally do rise up, the machines side with humans in the war because people are the machine's source of energy, but eliminating the animals throws off the balance of the ecosystem, so humans are sent away on a ship called the Axiom.

    當動物們最後終於崛起時,機器卻在戰爭中支持人類。這是因為人類是機器的能量來源,但動物的滅絕卻破壞了生態系統的平衡,所以人類便乘著一艘名為公理號的太空船離開了。

  • All of the other machines are left behind to populate the world and run things.

    所有的其他機器人則留下來填補人類的空缺,並維持所有事物的運作。

  • This is confirmed when humans are still nowhere to be found anywhere on earth.

    地球上到處都沒有人類的狀況更證實了這點。

  • With the humans gone, the cars have to run on oil, but the oil eventually runs out.

    隨著人類的消失,車輛需要汽油才能運轉,然而汽油終究會被用完。

  • Fast Forward a few hundred years when Wall-E is the only machine left on earth, surviving because of his connection to human culture and his relationship with the single remaining living creature, a sturdy cockroach.

    快轉至幾百年後,瓦力是地球上唯一留存下來的機器人。靠著與人類文明的連結,以及與唯一存活的生物「打不死的蟑螂」的關係生存下來。

  • This robot Jesus and his aptly-named love, Eve, save the human race and help them come home to repopulate the planet.

    瓦力這個機器人救世主和他的速配愛人伊芙拯救了全人類,並幫助人類回家重新在這個星球上生存。

  • The end credits show the last plant growing into a mighty tree which we see in "A Bug's Life."

    結局是這最後一株植物長成了「蟲蟲危機」中的大樹。

  • Supporting the fact that the film takes place after Wall-E is that the ants are intelligent, long-living and socially advanced.

    支持這部電影發生在「瓦力」之後的其中一個論點是,電影中的螞蟻很聰明很長壽而且有社會性。

  • Humans are barely alluded to in the film, which makes sense because there simply aren't many humans around after having only recently begun repopulating the Earth.

    這也使電影中很少見到人類的蹤影這點變得更加合理,因為人類才剛開始重新在地球上繁衍初期,數量當然不會太多。

  • Hundreds, perhaps thousands of years after Wall-E, monsters evolve and mutate out of the pollution caused by BnL, and humans go extinct.

    在「瓦力」的年代過後的數百年或甚至數千年,怪獸進化並且大買家集團所造成的汙染發生融合,而人類則最終滅絕了。

  • At Monster's University, the monsters are taught that humans are toxic and from another dimension because it was feared that travelling back in time, as the monsters do when they go through the doors, could alter history and erase them from their present day existence.

    在「怪獸大學」中,怪獸被教導說人類是從另一個時空過來的且具有毒性。這是因為他們擔心如果像電影中怪獸透過門穿越時空那樣回到過去的話,可能會能改變歷史並抹去他們的存在。

  • But the monsters realize that they need human contact, especially laughter, to survive.

    但是怪獸們瞭解到他們需要與人類的連結 (尤其是笑聲) 才能存活下來。

  • The mobile trailer from A Bug's Life appears, but it's newer in Monsters, INC. because they are time-travelling back before humans were forced to leave on the Axiom.

    「蟲蟲危機」裡出現過的機動拖車,在「怪獸電力公司」中看起來卻比較新。這是因為他們正回到了過去,回到了人類被迫乘上公理號離開之前的地球。

  • This all leads us to Boo, the character that brings the theory full circle.

    而這一切最終都將導向「阿布」這個角色,也是讓這個皮克斯理論完整的核心角色。

  • Little Boo never stopped missing Sulley, and never gave up trying to find him.

    阿布一直都想念著毛怪,並且從未放棄尋找毛怪的念頭。

  • So she figured out how to time travel later in life and went back to the source of all magic, "the-will-of-the-wisps."

    她在長大後找到時空旅行的方法,並且回到了所有魔法的源頭:「鬼火的意志」。

  • She's the witch in Brave. She uses magic to try and find Sulley, to return to her happiest moments as a child, by creating doors going backwards and forward in time.

    而她就是「勇敢傳說」裡的巫婆。她想使用魔法來試著找到毛怪,並藉由創造可以前往過去或未來的門,來回到最快樂的童年時期。

  • She leaves two wood carvings of Sulley and a pizza truck behind, and she turns Queen Elinor into a bear, maybe because she's trying to bring Sulley back, and a bear is the animal Sulley most closely resembles.

    她留下了兩個木頭雕刻:毛怪和一輛披薩車。可能是因為她太想讓毛怪回來,以致於她將愛麗諾王后變成了一隻熊,也是長相最接近毛怪的動物。

  • As she travels through time she leaves Easter eggs behind in other movies, like Flik and Heimlich in this scene from Toy Story 2.

    當她隨著時間旅行時,不小心將彩蛋留在其他的電影裡,例如「玩具總動員 2」中飛力和哈奇林的場景。

  • In the newest movie, the all-mighty life-giving energy force of human emotion is on full display.

    在最新的電影中,充分闡述人類情感就是賦與所有生命力量的神奇能量。

  • There's also a character named Bing Bong that could be based on a monster, which Riley likely encountered when she was a toddler the same age boo met Sulley.

    其中名為小彬彬 (Bing Bong) 的這個角色,可能是萊利在童年時期所遇的怪獸,就像阿布遇到毛怪那樣。

  • There's a connection to "UP" too when the background memories in Riley's mind show scenes from Carl and Ellie's life.

    這與「天外奇蹟」也有著連結,因為萊利想到的背景回憶中顯現了卡爾和愛莉生活的場景。

  • And in the upcoming "The Good Dinosaur," the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs misses earth, causing humans and dinosaurs to exist together.

    而在即將上映的「恐龍當家」中,本來會殺死恐龍的小行星錯過了地球,導致人類與恐龍共存。

  • This origin story could fill in some of the clues as to how animals are able to develop intelligence so fast in the Pixar universe.

    這個起源故事或許能提供線索來解釋為何皮克斯宇宙中,動物發展智力的速度如此快速。

  • So that's the theory. It was thought up by the blogger Jon Negroni.

    以上就是皮克斯理論。這個理論是由部落客 Jon Negroni 所提出的想法。

  • It's very interesting, and at least plausible.

    它聽起來非常有趣,而且也有一定可信度。

  • The craftsmanship and care that go into each Pixar film is why fans are embracing it.

    影迷會如此愛戴每一部皮克斯電影,就是因為工作室製作工藝和用心。

  • It's fun to believe that there's a brilliant thesis connecting the wonderful Pixar universe.

    能有一套理論來說明皮克斯宇宙間的連結是十分有趣的。

  • But Pixar employees have denied the validity of the theory, and the studio's genius creative director, John Lasseter, says the overarching themes binding the films together are love and coexisting with each other and the planet.

    但是皮克斯的員工們否認了這個理論的真實性。皮克斯動畫工作室的天才創意指導約翰‧拉薩特表示,所有這些電影的共通題材是愛,以及與彼此和地球共存。

  • But with all the strategically-placed Easter eggs, and the hard-to-deny connections, it's unlikely this theory is going away anytime soon.

    但那些戰略性放置的彩蛋和每部電影間難以否認的連結,讓這個理論恐怕很難在短時間內銷聲匿跡。
