The Many Theories of Disney

So I'm sure many of you who have seen Frozen have heard the Frozen/Tangled theory. For those of you who don't know, the characters Repunzel and Eugene appear in the beginning of Frozen during the song "For The First Time In Forever". So, obviously, Frozen takes place in the same universe as Tangled.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!
There is a theory floating around the internet that Anna and Elsa's parents were on their way to a wedding when their ship sank. And not just any wedding – Repunzel and Eugene's wedding. The story of Frozen takes place three years after that point (the point in time where the ship crashed and Repunzel and Eugene got married). Coincidentally, Frozen came out three years after Tangled did, so...there you go. The timelines match up. Plus there's a lot a people who believe Anna and Elsa's dad and Repunzel's mom are brother and sister.

I mean, can you argue that they look similar? I can totally see it!

There is also a very cool theory that I absolutely love: that the ship Ariel happens across in The Little Mermaid is the very same ship belonging to the Anna and Elsa's parents that sank on their way to the wedding. I found a site that actually looks into this idea:

"This connections takes a little research:

No movie explicity pinpoints the real world location where it takes place. We know that Tangled takes place in the Kingdom of Corona. According to Disney Wikia:

By looking at five things: architecture, nature, landscape, politics, and the styles of dress in Tangled, the best fit for a real-world Kingdom of Corona would be along the Baltic Sea coast of Germany and Poland at some point from 16th to the 18th century.

Frozen is a little more straightforward:

The name "Arendelle" is based on the Norwegian town of Arendal, located southwest of the Norwegian capital, Oslo. In Norwegian, "Aren" means "eagle", and "delle" is most likely derived from "dal" which means "valley."

And The Little Mermaid story was written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. There's even a Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen.

So Corona = Germany. Arendelle = Norway. And The Little Mermaid takes place off the coast of Denmark."

There is yet another theory I've come across...but this one if much more far-fetched: that Tarzan's parents and Anna and Elsa's parents are one and the same. Anna and Elsa's parents disappeared in a ship wreck...Tarzan's parents were swept to shore after a ship wreck. But this would only be possible if either (a)They had brought their newborn son with them, a son who nobody talks about, like, ever, or (b)They took a really, really, really long scenic route that lasted around-about nine months, which is impossible since Anna quite clearly says "See you in two weeks!" when she hugs them goodbye. So, yeah, this theory is about as ridiculous as broccoli-flavored Jelly Beans.

And while we're on the topic of Disney theories, has anybody ever heard of the Pixar Theory? I'm not going to go in-depth with this one because I can't explain it nearly as well as this person can. Essentially, it's explaining how every single Pixar movie is connected in one big timeline, all because of little things like how Buy-n-Large (the company who had taken over completely in Wall-E) was also the brand of batteries Buzz Lightyear had in Toy Story 3. It's a really amazing idea, and well worth the read!

Oh, and in case you're wondering, the reason I've been thinking about this is because my sister Skye and I went to a Frozen movie night at her elementary school tonight. It was a blast! A huge crowd of small children cuddled up in blankets and pillows, all in their pajamas, singing "Let It Go" in slightly off pitch voices. There's nothing like it!
