13. After eagle-eyed fans spotted one of many easter eggs in the film—Tangled’s Rapunzel (post haircut) and Eugene briefly appearing in a scene during the morning of Elsa’s coronation—a compelling fan theory that tied together Frozen, Tangled and Little Mermaid surfaced and the argument was pretty compelling: Anna and Elsa’s parents died when their boat sank…what if it was when they were on their way to the Tangled pair’s wedding? And what if the sunken ship in The Little Mermaid is the ship they were sailing on?!
14. This theory only works if you believe Anna and Elsa’s parents actually did die in the shipwreck, something Buck speculated about in a Reddit AMA, saying, in his mind, the King and Qyeen of Arendelle, as well as their newborn “baby boy,” did not actually die after being shipwrecked. (Who knew they had a son?) He said they washed up on the shore of a jungle and built “a tree house” before being “eaten by a leopard.” That baby boy? Tarzan, of course.
“That’s my fun little world,” he later told MTV. While the Frozen and Tarzan theory isn’t official, Buck said, “Whatever people want to believe, go for it. If you want to tie them all together, then do it.”
