I have a theory: the animal crossing movie is about a player named Ai in animal crossing, and she's 11 years old. The movie was based on Wild World, so if we used the years between every game, we'll see that; The player is about 8 years old in the GameCube version, 11 in Wild World, 14 in City Folk, 18 in New Leaf (Probably old enough to be a mayor for real, makes sense.), and 26 in New Horizons, so the child slave labor theory that some people think of is maybe gone in New Horizons and New Leaf, but the older games... Well, Tom Nook's have many things to explain.

That's just a small theory I thought of a minute ago.

If you have any other thoughts or theories, feel free to say it.
