That all the stories occur in the same universe is a given. Oddly, The Pixar Theory gives no reference (much less credit) to the long-running proliferation of Pixar characters appearing in other Pixar movies. This includes characters from future movies, like Wall-E seen in Toy Story. The Pixar Theory, in its long-history view, fails to address proof most of the movies occur within a narrow timeframe, via facts like Heimlich (from A Bug's Life) appearing in Toy Story 2, and the Pizza Planet truck appearing in every movie (partial exception for Brave, where it appears as a carved-wood toy alongside a bas-relief of Sully).
The Pixar Theory takes a vague notion and just, as noted "post hoc, ergo proter hoc", creates an elaborate and baseless theory to justify it a la most conspiracy theories. Alas, there is a great deal of facts available to both destroy the theory as presented, and at the same time prove the "one Pixar universe" premise to far more comprehensive and compelling effect. Instead of a few vapid paragraphs, the website should be a collection of the dozens (hundreds?) of images tying all the stories together.

Of course, he pointed it out to a few of his close friends and a free of the people he worked with. As Pixar continued making movies, someone would always sneak the pizza truck in, to the point it's become an integral point in their corporate culture. A Pixar movie wouldn't feel the same without looking for that cameo appearance - for the employees just as much as the consumer. So yeah, you're right. They do all take place in a unified universe: ours. Where people are people and they do silly, fun things for the sake of them being silly and fun. Like discussing unified universe theories of movies as if there's been any shroud of evidence that would lead anyone to believe one should exist.
