Questions I still have about animated films

Big Hero 6: How long did it take for Yama to rise through the robot-fighting ranks?

Is Lotso from Toy Story 3 the same bear briefly seen in Up? This could be verifiable, given that Up was released in 2009 and Toy Story 3 came out in 2010. 

How did Sid's skull-and-crossbones T-shirt from Toy Story become a popular fashion choice in Inside Out?

Pixar: How exactly did Pizza Planet expand effectively everywhere on Earth- even Mexico?  

Toy Story 4: I want the backstory on every item in the antique shop- the stuffed barracuda on the wall, the Carl's Jr. lunchbox, the Finding Nemo diving goggles, Carl's cane, the picture of Gerri from Gerri's Game, etc. 

Lilo and Stitch: How did Nani learn about Mulan's exploits in ancient China, given that she has a poster of the character in her bedroom? Or did she just see the movie which would've come out four years prior? 

Animated movie timeline: If we assume that Big Hero 6 and Wall-E take place in the same timeline, how much time would have to pass between the two? And would this mean Aladdin takes place after Wall-E, just in another part of the planet?    

Pixar as a whole: What was the first Buy N' Large product? When and how did they first appear on the scene and what was the timeline from there to the Wall-E situation?

What exactly is the full four-hundred-year-long family tree linking Prince Phillip and Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty to Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid? 

The Incredibles: How did Edna Mode start in fashion design? Where on the industry ladder did she start at?

Cars: What's the history of the Dinoco racing team? I know that Dinoco was a gas station in Toy Story, so did their racing team develop around that time? 

Ratatouille: How did Colette go from being a chef at a Parisian restaurant to being on the cover of a magazine in Minnesota (seen briefly in Inside Out)?  

Frozen: How does Hans' kingdom operate? What is its culture like? What's its government like? 

Wall-E: What was life like in the first five years aboard the Axiom?

Thoughts on the Mysterious Benedict Society- Episodes 1 and 2

Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi deserve a ton of credit for writing Sticky's first scene in the pilot episode. In this brief clip, he gets a prize-money check but his parents take it away immediately. This, of course, is a reference to his backstory from the first book where his parents- after his increasing quiz show success- become more focused on the prizes he brings home than on his well-being. Episode 2 features a brief but very well-written moment courtesy of the same duo that beautifully captures Martina Crowe's personality, where she glares around the classroom and causes her fellow students to lower their raised hands. This is very much in keeping with Martina's "don't cross me" book personality.

Why the MCU shouldn't recast T'Challa

T'Challa should remain Chadwick Boseman's role, and- at least in my opinion- casting another actor sort of dampens his legacy in that regard. I don't want this to be the same thing as Bruce Banner (remember Edward Norton in Incredible Hulk ?) or James Rhodes (remember Terrence Howard in Iron Man ?). One, and only one, person should portray T'Challa- the late Chadwick Boseman. Not having a T'Challa in the Black Panther sequel will allow the cast to grieve and mourn and honor- whichever they feel is appropriate- the life and legacy of both T'Challa (when cameras are rolling) and Chadwick (when cameras aren't rolling). Adding another actor as T'Challa- I think- would provide a "back to business as usual" vibe whereas keeping T'Challa's spot in Wakanda empty would allow the grieving process to continue on the actors' terms before, during and after filming, which in this regard I think is important.
