The present doctoral thesis, entitled The Complex Plot of Pixar: Cinema and the Human Condition, aims to make reflections on the films produced by Pixar Animation Studios in the period between 1995 and 2011. In total, 12 films are analyzed: Toy Story, 1995; A Bug s Life, 1998; Toy Story 2, 1999; Monsters, Inc., 2001; Finding Nemo, 2003; The Incredibles, 2004; Cars, 2006; Ratatouille, 2007; Wall-E, 2008; Up, 2009; Toy Story 3, 2010 and Cars 2, 2011. The basis and methodological and theoretical orientation guide of the analyses and reflections is the Complex Thought, as formulated by Edgar Morin. The study aims to expand the understanding on these films, which began to be produced in large scale from 1995, introducing them as vehicles of narratives that help in building the imaginary of the contemporary man, taking into consideration the potential of onirism, duplication, projection-identification and mental trade that the cinema presents. The analyses and reflections contained in this thesis are based on thinkers from several fields of knowledge in a transdisciplinary perspective. After an introduction entitled Onirisms, the thesis unfolds in three analytical blocks: in Bravery, we discourse about the brave or heroic acts in Toy Story, A Bug s Life, The Incredibles and Cars. In Knowledge, we will discourse about the visions of knowledge, memory or technoscience of Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Wall-E and Cars 2. In Paroxysms, we approach the existing apex moments in films such as Finding Nemo, Up, Toy Story 3 and Ratatouille. Finally, we present the final considerations and, as an annex, the production credits of the films studied herein
