I am aware of the Pixar Theory, yeah, but I haven't seen every movie on that list. I think it's plausible, sure, but a case of looking for meaning and explanations where they might not exist or be necessary. "Talking animals" is a near-universal concept, for instance. I think it's unnecessary, but at the same time I've always thought "do what makes you happy as long as it doesn't hurt people" when it comes to fandom and life in general.

I don't think there will be any culmination to it, rather that a lot of the evidence is really just nods to the fans and meta references to their prior (and upcoming) films that really may have no deeper meaning.

I found basically every Pixar movie I saw (everything but the Cars series and The Good Dinosaur) to be at least okay, with Toy Story, Monsters Inc, and The Incredibles as some real stand-outs. Admittedly, I remember basically nothing about A Bug's Life, and most of these movies I haven't seen in years.

The idea the author of this article proposes that's basically "Dory is less evolved than the other animals" is complete bunk and rife with really bad implications though. Doesn't mean the theory in general is wrong, but that particular part of his evidence it is pretty shitty and easily picked apart (Dory's parents don't share her cognitive disability, which is what her memory loss has consistently been depicted as same as Nemo's physical disability).
