How the Pixar films timeline game works

Every card is a Pixar feature, with the director's name under its title, and you put them in order by year of release. You begin with one film placed and its year in view. Read each new card and place it in the gap where you think it belongs. Get it right and the year is shown; get it wrong and the film still moves to its true place, costing one of your three lives.

The studio's run takes in groundbreaking originals, a long line of sequels and spin-offs, and plenty of smaller, more personal stories. Sequel numbers make some pairs easy but say nothing about where they fall among the originals. Several directors made more than one film, so a name can link cards that sit far apart. The quieter originals are the easiest to misplace.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
