Mind. Blown. Get ready to question reality as you know it because a huge Disney fan theory has just been confirmed to be TRUE: Tarzan is the secret long-lost brother of Anna and Elsa from Frozen. Speaking to MTV US, Frozen director confirmed that the sibling theory is true.
As he explained to co-director Jennifer Lee, Buck envisions Anna and Elsa's parents being shipwrecked off the coast of Africa and eventually giving birth to a boy we know as Tarzan. "In my little head, Anna and Elsa's brother is Tarzan," he told MTV. "That's my fun little world."
No, they're not the same parents. Even ignoring the differences in appearance of both sets of parents and the ship, the time period is wrong. Tarzan's parents were Victorian era (based off Jane and the Professor's appearance and machines), while Anna and Elsa's were Regency/late Eighteenth-early/mid Nineteenth Century.
How are Frozen Tangled Tarzan and the little mermaid connected?
The connection between 'The Little Mermaid', 'Frozen', 'Tarzan', and Tangled' Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid is the brother to Anna and Elsa from frozen, and Tarzan, and they're all cousins to Repunzel from Tangled.
Posted by many different fans, the theory says Anna and Elsa's parents, who the audience is told died in a shipwreck at sea during the beginning of the movie, actually survived and washed up on a jungle island, where they had a child—a baby boy—but were later killed by a jaguar.
'Frozen' Seemingly Director Confirms 'Tarzan' Fan Theory
Who is Elsa's real dad?
Both characters have two daughters (Agnarr is the father to Elsa and Anna, while Big Bob is the father to Olga and Helga). In Frozen II, Agnarr is voiced by Alfred Molina, while Iduna is voiced by Evan Rachel Wood.
Due to the bad blood between their people, Iduna kept both her heritage and her rescue of Agnarr in the forest a secret for many years, though she finally confessed everything to him shortly before their deaths.
"We know Anna and Elsa's parents died in a shipwreck," the fan begins. Writer and director of Frozen, Jennifer Lee, has confirmed in the past that the parents were indeed on their way to a wedding - Rapunzel and Flynn's wedding to be exact.
It has also been established that The Little Mermaid takes place in the sea of Denmark. So, the shipwreck that Ariel swims by at the beginning of The Little Mermaid would have been the ship that took Anna Elsa's parents.
Frozen explicitly shows the audience that Iduna and Agnarr's ship has sunk, killing both of the young princesses' parents. It's later revealed in Frozen 2 that the king and queen were traveling to Ahtohallan, a magical glacier in the north, and Frozen's sequel again confirms that Anna and Elsa's parents died at sea.
The time period for Frozen is set in July 1843. In the upper left-hand corner of the geographical map shown in Frozen II, it is suggested by a set of Roman numerals that the year in which Agnarr and Iduna's ship sank was 1840. (MDCCCXL is the exact numeral order.)
Kala is a fictional ape character in Edgar Rice Burroughs's original Tarzan novel, Tarzan of the Apes, and in movies and other media based on it. She is the ape mother of Tarzan who raises him.
Anna's parents rush her to the sacred realm, where discussions with the trolls reveal that Elsa was born with her powers/ depigmentation and deafness, rather than them being due to illness or accident. Grand Pabbie troll heals Anna but removes her memories of Elsa's magic.
Elsa fears she will not be accepted by her sister or her town. This feeling worsens as her parents pass away. Now with no one having knowledge of her powers the pressure increases for her to stay hidden. As she becomes required to attend her coronation, she begins overthinking how she will keep her powers hidden.
Elsa and Anna's parents didn't die by shipwreck where we thought they'd died by shipwreck (always a fun, uncomplicated topic for kids!); they actually died by shipwreck trying to journey to Ahtohallan, the mythical island they believed held the answers to Elsa's powers.
She was noted for her singing talent and her love of music. She and Triton had been the best of friends ever since their childhood. Unfortunately, she passed away as a result of a run-in with a big pirate ship when Ariel was very young, fuelling her husband's hatred of humans and leaving him widowed as a result.
Elysium was first introduced as the eldest daughter of Elsa and Jack Frost, The Snow Queen and Guardian of Winter. Elysium was originally born and raised in Arendelle, along with her parents, her aunts and uncles, and her younger sister.
A popular fan theory after the release of Frozen suggested that Tarzan could have quietly been the secret brother of Anna and Elsa, born after their parent's ship sank. But that theory was more or less debunked by Frozen 2, which reveals the details surrounding their demise.
Despite what Disney fans may believe, Tarzan is not related to "Frozen" characters Anna and Elsa. "Can I put one rumor to rest that is my fault? Tarzan's parents are not Anna and Elsa's parents," said codirector Chris Buck during a 20th anniversary panel for "Tarzan" to a lot of applause from the crowd.
Are the little mermaid Tangled and Frozen connected?
Anna and Elsa's parents embarked on a journey that likely saw them sail toward Germany, where Rapunzel's is located. The theory suggests that the tragic fate that befell their ship possibly occurred in the Danish seas, coincidentally aligning with the aquatic world of The Little Mermaid.
According to Iduna, Ahtohallan is considered a spirit and is the "mother" of all the other spirits. According to Iduna's notes, Ahtohallan is the source of the magic in the Enchanted Forest as well as those of the spirits, including Elsa's powers.
The call led her to Ahtohallan, where Elsa was able to discover her true calling and the truth about the curse placed on the Enchanted Forest. Elsa discovered that the call was used by Iduna to summon the Wind Spirit to save Agnarr.
Ahtohallan, Iduna and Agnarr's intended destination, is revealed as the source of the magical spirits in the Enchanted Forest and Elsa's icy powers. In an attempt to understand their daughter's powers, Iduna and Agnarr set out to reach Ahtohallan, but die trying.
