Elsa and Anna are Tarzan's sisters.

Disney’s 2013 smash Frozen did more than win two Oscars and launch “Let It Go” mania — it also inspired a theory about an earlier Disney film.

After Elsa and Anna’s parents are shipwrecked at the beginning of the movie, leaving their two daughters alone together in Arendelle, the audience is left to assume that they died at sea.

Co-director Jennifer Lee confirmed in 2014 Reddit AMA, however, that, “according to [co-director] Chris [Buck], they 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…” That's right: Elsa and Anna's parents are Tarzan's parents.

Even better?

Buck also directed Disney’s 1999 Tarzan.

If only Elsa's anthem went, “Me let it go / You freeze.”
