Shavon Jovi 219 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Fan theories are a dime a dozen on the Internet. Most we don't care about (oh, Jessie fromToy Story may have been Andy's mom's toy? OK?), but this one, which connects Frozen,Tangled and The Little Mermaid, will blow your mind. Credit where credit is due: Buzzfeed resurfaced this theory from a fan on Tumblr. But it's too interesting (and crazy) not to share. Fair warning: It's very depressing. Now, if you're ready to feel all the feels, let's dive deep... WATCH: Guy sing Frozen's "Let It Go" in 21 different Disney and Pixar voices We start with Frozen. Remember early on in the film, during "For the First Time in Forever," when the castle doors open for Elsa's coronation and Anna finally gets to step outside and meet other people? Watch carefully... If you blink, you'll miss them. But they're there. Down in the left hand corner. Look familiar? It's Rapunzel (post haircut) and Eugene from Tangled! Sure, their little cameo might just be another Easter egg (we all know how much Disney loves including those), but it may also be part of a bigger story that connects Frozen andTangled. "What if the king and queen of Arendelle were on their way to Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding when their boat sank, and that's why Rapunzel and Eugene felt the need to come to Elsa's coronation ceremony?" Frozen doesn't tell us much about where the king and queen of Arendelle were heading, just Elsa asking, "Do you have to go?" and Anna sending them off with, "See you in two weeks!" But we know they traveled by ship and we know what happened to that ship: The time lines match up too. After the shipwreck and funeral, Frozen jumps forward three years... Is it just a coincidence then that it was also three years after Tangled was released that Frozen was released? Tangled premiered in 2010 and Frozen hit theaters in 2013. "So if it's true that Elsa and Anna's parents were going to Rapunzel's [wedding] three years ago (actually when the movie Tangled released) when their ship sank, which was the reason Rapunzel and Flynn felt the need to come to Elsa's coronation...GUYS. What if that sunken ship in The Little Mermaid is the king and queen of Arendelle's??" 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. Does it all line up? Is this the same ship? Hey, we're just glad no king and queen of Arendelle skeletons popped up while Ariel was frolicking in that ship to answer the question definitively.

removed929393303 15,230 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Interesting. There are a couple Disney movies that have other Disney characters lurking around in the background. You just have to look hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrelephant 4,710 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 On reddit, the makers of Frozen suggested this (more or less as a joke but..) According to Chris, they didn't die on the boat. They got washed up on a shore in a jungle island. The queen gave birth to a baby boy. They build a treehouse. They get eaten by a leopard...(Chris as in Chris Buck, original director for Tarzan)www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1xj4n5/hi_reddit_we_made_frozen_ask_us_anything/cfbtw25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlie 1,607 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I wonder how much time it took to figure out all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonno 627 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 The connection between Tangled and Frozen is more little. The little mermaid doesn't really fit into the story all that well. Disney always has some of their characters in other films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minzy-Me 128 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 The ships are different though. In the little mermaid there is only one mast but Frozen has like 2 or 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUILD 3,195 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Very interesting. And not depressing at all. Also, the Little Mermaid one, aside from the location, may be a little farfetched. Plus most ships look generally the same lol. At least in shape, and especially after they've been wrecked and worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Juan and only 5,432 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Wasn't that ship a pirate ship, the skeleton they found was of a pirate unless I'm thinking of another movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyoyeon~Minzy 12,109 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 No. There is no hidden meaningor connection since Disney loves including cameos. Flynn and Rapunzel were just cameos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channeler 245 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I feel like there may actually be ways to make these kinds of theories interesting for example like the one regarding Rugrat's Angelica but I don't see it in this one unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
