9 Crazy Movie Fan Theories That Turned Out To Be True

It's a movie fan's prerogative to obsess over their favorite films and analyze them to find out new meanings, easter eggs or connections that aren't immediately obvious. The internet's full of wild fan theories that, even if they don't hold up to too much scrutiny, are a testament to how much the pic in question inspired viewers to dig deeper and uncover its secrets.

Frozen’s Anna And Elsa Are Tarzan’s Sisters

Disney fans tend to have overactive imaginations and this came into play when Frozen lovers came up with an ambitious theory that linked the hit 2013 movie with 1999’s Tarzan. It’s all to do with the fact that Anna and Elsa’s parents die at sea, which is shown through a shot of their ship being caught in a storm. And how does Tarzan begin? With Tarzan’s parents caught in a storm at sea and swimming to safety in the jungle.

Yes, Disney fans think that the princesses’ mother was pregnant when she and her husband left Arendelle and, after their death in the jungle at the hands of Sabor the leopard, the child grew up to be Tarzan. Just look at the comparison above – the two fathers, in particular, do look pretty similar. Thankfully, Frozen co-director Chris Buck agrees, as he has half-jokingly confirmed that the three Disney heroes are siblings.

It’s also worth a mention that Tangled‘s Rapunzel and Flynn Rider can be glimpsed in Frozen as part of the crowd that’ve come to Arrendelle for Elsa’s coronation. So, that’s at least three movies that are all interconnected.

Disney Cinematic Universe officially confirmed?

The Quentin Tarantino Cinematic Universe Is Real

Due to the connections between his movies that were there for fans to pick up on, lovers of Quentin Tarantino’s films have long suspected that they all actually take place in the same universe. For instance, Pulp Fiction‘s Vincent Vega and Reservoir Dogs‘s Vic Vega are said to be brothers, while the fictional Red Apple brand of cigarettes often show up.

It took a while, but in 2016, Tarantino finally confirmed exactly how this shared universe thing worked. And he added an unexpected twist on the concept to boot, explaining that there are actually two shared worlds in one:

“There are actually two separate universes. There’s the realer than real universe, and all the characters inhabit that one. Then there’s this “movie” universe, so From Dusk Till Dawn and Kill Bill take place in this special movie universe. Basically, when the characters from Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction go to the movies, Kill Bill and From Dusk Till Dawnis what they go see.”

This actually makes a lot of sense when you go back and watch the films. For instance, Uma Thurman’s Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction was once an actress in a failed pilot called Fox Force Five. Thurman later played the lead in Kill Bill, whose plot somewhat resembles that of the discussed TV show. So, maybe it’s Mia playing The Bride in the real Tarantino universe?
