It’s one thing to create personal canon and delve into the “What if?” of established fictional worlds.
He did add an obligatory “fans can do whatever they want” line. That’s my fun little world,” Buck told MTV back in 2015. “So in my little head, Anna and Elsa’s brother is Tarzan - but on the other side of that island are surfing penguins, to tie in a non-Disney movie, Surf’s Up.

The full quote, which is rarely cited, ends with a tongue-in-cheek line about incorporating Buck’s 2007 Sony Animation film Surf’s Up into the same big meta-narrative headcanon. The bustle on Jane’s dress suggests the story is set in the late 1800s.īut more importantly, Chris Buck wasn’t being serious when he laid out the connection.

The Disney movie does move the time period a little earlier, since gorilla researcher Professor Porter refers to Queen Victoria, Charles Darwin, and Rudyard Kipling. The source material - Edgar Rice Burroughs’ book Tarzan Of The Apes - was set in the 1910s. That’s not even bringing up the fact that the costuming style sets Frozen around the 1830s, while Tarzan comes later. The dads both have facial hair, but that’s where the resemblance ends. People ran with that idea, writing articles about the “CONNECTION!!!!!” between the two movies, making YouTube videos about the link, and heralding Buck’s statement as canon.ĭo these LOOK like the same people to you: Disney and Disneyįirst of all, Tarzan the movie shows Tarzan’s parents, who look absolutely nothing like Elsa and Anna’s parents. What he was saying is that Tarzan is Elsa and Anna’s little brother. They end up building a treehouse and a leopard kills them, so their baby boy is raised by gorillas.” They get shipwrecked, and somehow they really washed way far away from the Scandinavian waters, and they end up in the jungle. Yes, there was a shipwreck, but they were at sea a little bit longer than we think they were because the mother was pregnant, and she gave birth on the boat, to a little boy. Buck recounted a meeting where he told his co-director Jennifer Lee, “Of course Anna and Elsa’s parents didn’t die.
The third was based on a quote by director Chris Buck, who also directed Disney’s 1999 animated Tarzan. Both movies are based on Hans Christian Andersen stories, so okay, sure, fine, if that’s what you want. This wasn’t particularly far-fetched, since Tangled protagonists Flynn Rider and Rapunzel make onscreen cameos in Frozen when Anna sings “For the First Time in Forever.” A common addition to that theory is that Elsa and Anna’s parents, Iduna and Agnarr, were heading to Flynn and Rapunzel’s wedding when their ship sank in a storm near the beginning of the film.Īnother theory was that the ship Elsa and Anna’s parents died on was actually the ship at the beginning of The Little Mermaid. One was that Frozen and Tangled took place in the same world. Back when Frozen came out, there were three big theories about how it connected to other Disney films.
