A new, crazy fan theory connects Frozen, Tangled, and The Little Mermaid

Like the unified theory of Pixar films or that idea that Toy Story’s Jessie used to belong to Andy’s mom (which was subsequently “confirmed” by Joan Cusack at our A.V. Club Live! event), there’s a new fan theory that seeks to “blow the minds” of Disney fans. This one posits that the worlds of Frozen, Tangled, and The Little Mermaid are all interconnected—and not just because their protagonists share the same giant eyes and impossibly small waists.
Here’s the theory, as laid out by tumblr user erchmreh: Eagle-eyed Frozen viewers were quick to notice that Tangled’s Rapunzel and Eugene make a quick cameo at Elsa’s coronation. And while that could be seen as Disney giving a quick nod to its previous princess film, there could also be a darker meaning behind it.
