'Frozen 2' Plot Spoilers: Is Tarzan Anna & Elsa's Long-Lost Brother? Director Explains Conspiracy Theory
"Two worlds, one family" - It's an iconic line from Phil Collins' "Two Worlds" soundtrack for "Tarzan." However if director Chris Buck is to be believed, the line might also be a tie in to the plot of "Frozen."
Disney fans and conspiracy theorists alike raised their collective eyebrows last year when Frozen's writer/director duo of Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck took to Reddit's "Ask Me Anything" to answer some fan questions.
They were asked about where the King and Queen of Arendell were going before they disappeared at sea.
Lee said they were going to a wedding. Buck, on the other hand, sent out this reply:
"They [Anna and Elsa's parents] 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."
It could be perceived as a joke, yes. However, the statement seemed to matter because it was Buck who said it, the one who helmed another Disney animated classic titled, drum-roll please, "Tarzan."
If his comment is to be taken as canon, it would mean Tarzan is Anna and Elsa's long lost brother.
A year and multiple movie fan debates later, Buck tried to explain the conspiracy theory on Sunday.
Buck said working on a full-length animated film takes years to make. This gives the creative department a lot of time to conceptualize on the story. This particular idea popped in his head while walking to a meeting with Lee.
"I said, 'Of course Anna and Elsa's parents didn't die.' 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. They get shipwrecked, and somehow they really washed way far away from the Scandinavian waters, and they end up in the jungle. They end up building a tree house and a leopard kills them, so their baby boy is raised by gorillas. 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.' That's my fun little world," he told MTV News.
The 54-year-old director then added a disclaimer, "I say, whatever people want to believe, go for it. If you want to tie them all together, then do it. That's the spirit of Disney."
Although we might not see a "Frozen"-"Tarzan" crossover any time soon, it's safe to say the two stories share one special place in the director's heart.
