00:00Oh, boo. It's been fun.
00:03Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most brain-scrambling theories involving Disney properties.
00:10We'll be getting into spoilers for various Disney movies, so consider this your warning.
00:14No, no, I wanted to give the folks a little sizzle.
00:18Number 30. Hercules Killed Scar. Hercules and the Lion King.
00:22This son of Zeus has slain multiple beasts in his life.
00:25When you take down as many creatures as Hercules has, people are bound to notice.
00:30Bill, you got in it. That was pretty heroic.
00:35You did it, kid! You did it! You won by a landslide!
00:39In one specific scene, viewers found something interesting.
00:43Hercules was spotted wearing the head and fur of a lion that looks exactly like Scar.
00:48Is this a fun Easter egg, or did Hercules kill him?
00:51While Scar's fate was sealed at the end of The Lion King, maybe Hades resurrected him, or perhaps he survived the hyena attack.
00:59Scar's inclusion in the movie could have also made him its version of the Nenean Lion.
01:04This was an animal Hercules killed as part of his 12 labors.
01:07This stuff doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere.
01:10Either way, the idea of Hercules and Scar crossing paths is super interesting.
01:15Number 29. Kuzco Witnesses a Murder.
01:18The Emperor's New Groove.
01:20While harming a fly or two isn't seen as a huge act of violence in society, what if you are actually committing manslaughter?
01:26This could be a real possibility for this movie.
01:29When Kuzco, now a llama, is navigating through a dangerous jungle, he spots a fly getting eaten.
01:36As disturbing as that is, the fly might not have been an ordinary one.
01:40Since it was able to speak and since Kuzco understood it, many believe the fly was originally a human being.
01:46In fact, every other talking animal we see was once a human.
01:49Okay, that was the freakiest thing I've ever seen.
01:52So, yeah, this fly might have been a person once, which means we essentially witnessed a murder.
01:57Does this make the fly-eating spider a man-eater, too?
02:00Our money's on yes.
02:02Number 28. Olaf Secretly Wants to Melt.
02:05Frozen.
02:05Despite being a sentient snowman, Olaf loves the summer.
02:09Summer?
02:11Oh, I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer.
02:16Though there's nothing wrong with some fun in the sun, you'd think that Olaf and hot weather wouldn't mix.
02:22Surely he'd melt, right?
02:23Even regular people can get hurt by the sun if they don't have proper protection.
02:27So a snowman would have it ten times worse.
02:30But maybe Olaf secretly wants to melt.
02:32Perhaps being brought to life also triggered some existential dread within him.
02:36While Olaf is later enchanted to be able to experience summer,
02:40you could argue that this theory makes that happy ending a sad one.
02:43My own personal flurry!
02:46Because now he can't melt away like he wanted, which forces him to live forever in his sadness.
02:51Yeah, this is a pretty dark theory.
02:53Number 27.
02:54The Hunchback Hallucinated His Gargoyle Friends.
02:57The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
02:59Since we know that Quasimodo is a social outcast who spends much of his time in the bell tower away from other people,
03:05the sentient gargoyles he talks to might not be so sentient after all.
03:08Hey, Quasi, what's going on out there? A fight? A flogging?
03:11A festival.
03:12You mean the Feast of Fools?
03:13Uh-huh.
03:13All right, all right! Pour the wine and cut the cheese!
03:16It is a treat to watch the colorful pageantry of the simple peasant folk.
03:20Boy, nothing like balcony seats for watching the old FOF.
03:22Yeah, watching.
03:24Sorry for being such a downer, but maybe this particular theory has some legs.
03:28In the first film, the gargoyles never talk to anyone else, although one takes furlough to hell.
03:34Spending so much time by yourself away from other people can have many negative side effects.
03:39It's pretty dark, but there's a very real possibility that the gargoyles were hallucinations that Quasimodo made up to cope with his severe loneliness.
03:47Nobody wants to stay cooped up here forever.
03:50You're right. I'll go!
03:52Wow. It's depressing stuff like this that just makes you want to tell him everything will be okay.
03:57Number 26. Chip is Beast's secret son, Beauty and the Beast.
04:02Though we're introduced to the teapot Mrs. Potts and her teacup son Chip, there are some weird things about this mother-son duo.
04:09How would you like a nice pot of tea, sir? It'll warm you up in no time.
04:13No tea. No tea!
04:16His mustache tickles, mama!
04:21A tickle? Oh!
04:23Hello!
04:24She couldn't have given birth to him when she was a teapot.
04:27When she and Chip are turned back into humans, we see that she's too old to be his biological mom anyway.
04:33Perhaps Chip is an illegitimate son of the Beast.
04:35Some fans even go further and suggest that Chip's mother is the Enchantress.
04:40Maybe before Beast was turned into a monster, he was seduced by her.
04:45Later, he would have taken Chip away, which would anger Enchantress enough to curse everyone, thus turning Chip and Mrs. Potts into teacups.
04:52It'll turn out all right in the end. You'll see.
04:56Oof.
04:56Maybe Beast needs to go on Maury to sort this out.
04:59Number 25.
05:01The sunken ship Ariel found belonged to the king and queen of Arendelle, Frozen and the Little Mermaid.
05:06The ship the royal family of Arendelle died on has been a talking point for a very long time.
05:11Do you have to go?
05:13You'll be fine, Elsa.
05:15It's been speculated that it's the sunken ship from the Little Mermaid.
05:18While there isn't a whole lot to go off of, some details line up nicely.
05:22For example, it makes a lot of sense that the ship would eventually find its way to the bottom of the ocean.
05:27While both ships don't exactly look the same, we can assume that the ship naturally deteriorated over time.
05:33Even though Frozen 2 poked a lot of holes in this theory, namely by showing the real location of the ship,
05:39it still makes for some interesting headcanon.
05:41How can it be?
05:43What is it?
05:46Mother and father's ship.
05:48This isn't the Southern Sea.
05:50No, it isn't.
05:53Number 24.
05:54Calhoun killed her husband.
05:56Wreck-It Ralph.
05:57Love has never been easy.
05:58And unfortunately, Sergeant Calhoun found this out the hard way.
06:02Is she always this intense?
06:04It's not her fault.
06:05She's programmed with the most tragic backstory ever.
06:08The grizzled soldier hailing from the Heroes Duty game lost her fiancé in a vicious cybug attack.
06:14But what if things were much more tragic?
06:16We know that her would-be husband Brad got eaten by a cybug on their wedding day.
06:21However, if someone is eaten by a cybug, then they become a cybug.
06:26Since we know that Calhoun had to spend her big day slaying these beasts,
06:29there's a very good chance she had to kill her own husband too.
06:32Wow, you are one dynamite gal.
06:39One dynamite gal.
06:42Dynamite gal.
06:43Dynamite gal.
06:44Dynamite gal.
06:48Losing your significant other on your wedding day is one thing.
06:51But having to destroy them is a whole other level of traumatic.
06:55Poor Calhoun.
06:56Number 23.
06:57Sisu and Mushu are part of the same universe.
07:00Mulan and Raya and the Last Dragon.
07:02These two characters could be more connected than you think.
07:05The Last Dragon establishes that nearly all dragons were turned into stone.
07:10The dragons fought for us the best they could.
07:14But it wasn't enough.
07:16Well, guess what happens in Mulan?
07:19Mushu is forced to wake up the great stone dragon.
07:21Is it just a coincidence that both movies have stone dragons?
07:25Maybe this detail suggests that Mushu and Sisu are connected somehow.
07:28It's not like they're family, but both movies having dragons who turned into stone has exciting implications.
07:34I agree.
07:35It suggests that Mulan and Raya and the Last Dragon could be a shared continuity.
07:39This theory doesn't just propose a fun link between two dragons.
07:43It suggests the existence of a whole new cinematic universe.
07:46What should we call it?
07:47The Dragonverse?
07:49Number 22.
07:50Gaston killed Bambi's mom.
07:52Beauty and the Beast and Bambi.
07:53If you wanted more of a reason to hate Gaston's guts, then this theory is perfect for you.
07:59Gaston, you are positively primeval.
08:01Why, thank you, Belle.
08:03Remember the death of Bambi's mother?
08:05The incredibly tragic ending for the deer might be even worse.
08:09That's because this theory claims that it was Gaston who shot her.
08:12The identity of the hunter is never revealed, and we also know that Gaston has a knack for hunting.
08:17We even see several animal heads mounted up in his tavern.
08:21Is the head of Bambi's late mother up there too?
08:24Things just kind of line up greatly.
08:26It makes the death of Bambi's mom even more depressing, and it turns Gaston even more evil.
08:31He was already despicable, but now he's even scummier than we thought.
08:35Kill the beast!
08:36No, I won't let you do this!
08:38If you're not with us, you're against us.
08:40Number 21.
08:41Peter is taking the kids to the afterlife.
08:43Peter Pan.
08:44Peter Pan guiding the Lost Boys to Neverland has always been seen as a whimsical adventure,
08:49but we should see it for what it really is.
08:52A journey to the afterlife.
08:53I'm so glad you came back tonight.
08:56I might never have seen you.
08:57Why?
08:58Because I have to grow up tomorrow.
09:00Grow up!
09:00In this theory, the Lost Boys maintain their youth because they died.
09:04It also proposes that Peter might not be a simple magical boy because he's really the angel of death.
09:10He's basically the Grim Reaper, carrying the boys away from the land of the living.
09:15Further variations of the theory go even darker,
09:17and claim that Peter makes sure the boys stay young by killing any of them who age.
09:21Never having to grow up when you're a kid might sound super fun,
09:31but this theory makes that idea a lot more sinister.
09:34Number 20.
09:35The Passengers Are Cannibals And They Don't Even Know It
09:37When it comes down to it, WALL-E is arguably one of Pixar's most important films.
09:43It's a story about two robots falling in love and trying to get Earth back on track along the way.
09:47Name?
09:48Name?
09:51WALL-E.
09:55WALL-E.
09:56WALL-E.
09:57WALL-E.
09:58WALL-E.
09:58Steve.
10:02But what if this warm and fuzzy movie wasn't as wholesome as we thought?
10:05One theory suggests that the passengers aboard the Axiom are fed an extremely unconventional diet.
10:11So what are they eating?
10:13Potentially human corpses.
10:14Time for lunch.
10:16In a cup!
10:21We never actually see what's in the slop the humans are slurping down.
10:25Plus, we never learn how the ship deals with passengers who have passed on.
10:28Is it all that crazy to think that the dearly departed have been converted into a food supply?
10:33We'll let you decide.
10:34This is called farming.
10:37You kids are going to grow all kinds of plants.
10:39Vegetable plants.
10:41Pizza plants.
10:42Number 19.
10:44The Prince is Actually Death.
10:46Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
10:48The man of Snow White's dreams may not be all he's cracked up to be.
10:51One theory suggests that the prince is actually a representation of death.
10:55And that Snow White actually dies when she eats the poisonous apple.
10:59Now, make a wish.
11:01And take a bite.
11:02This would mean the prince's kiss wakes her up so that he can transfer her over to the afterlife.
11:08And when she's saying goodbye to the Seven Dwarfs, she leaves into the sunset on a white horse that the prince guides.
11:14Goodbye.
11:18Bye, Grumpy.
11:21Goodbye.
11:21This could be interpreted as a biblical allusion to death.
11:26It's a bleak take on this film, but the pieces certainly fall into place nicely.
11:31Who knows?
11:31Maybe Snow White and the Grim Reaper will make a very happy couple.
11:35Hello.
11:35Oh.
11:36Did I frighten you?
11:38Wait.
11:39Wait, please.
11:40What if this whole movie was actually a strategic ploy to remove attention from Walt Disney?
11:53Some genuinely believe that Frozen was a scheme made to hide the conspiracy theory that Walt Disney had his head cryogenically stored.
12:00And is great-uncle Walt frozen underneath the Pirates of the Caribbean rock?
12:04He is not.
12:04We don't have him in an ice cube tray in the freezer.
12:07And no, not Frozen.
12:09It's not implausible that the company would want that rumor about their founder to be forgotten.
12:13With a film called Frozen, if people looked up Disney and Frozen on the internet, they'd be directed to the movie instead.
12:19However, creating an entire movie just to mess around with some SEO feels a bit far-fetched.
12:32We'll give some credit, though.
12:33This theory does something few crazy theories do, and that is join forces with another to form one giant ludicrous theory.
12:40It's like some serious theory-ception.
12:42The coal never bothered me anyway.
12:45Ever wonder why this world is only run by animals?
12:55Don't get us wrong.
12:56The idea of a society populated by fully functioning sentient animals is really cool.
13:01However, that's bound to make you wonder if humans have ever existed in this universe.
13:09One theory suggests that they did, but that things went bad.
13:12Zootopia might actually take place in the far future where all of humanity has gone extinct.
13:18Following this extinction, animals developed consciousness and eventually formed the world we see in the movie.
13:23Hi.
13:24Oh.
13:25M.
13:26Goodness.
13:27They really did hire a bunny.
13:28What?
13:29It's possible that humans were never meant to exist in this movie's world.
13:33But if you want to imagine they did, this theory offers a unique way of doing so.
13:38Savage, this isn't the Stone Age, Hobbes.
13:41Animals don't go, Savage.
13:43I thought so, too.
13:45Till I saw this.
13:47Number 16.
13:48Moana dies in the storm.
13:50Moana.
13:50A troubling storm at the start of this movie might have spelled out doom for our protagonist.
13:55Help me!
13:57Please!
13:58Help me!
14:00Help me!
14:02Help me!
14:02Help me!
14:04Help me!
14:05Help me!
14:05Help me!
14:05Help me!
14:06A popular theory floats the possibility that Moana died during that one huge thunderstorm.
14:10Despite dying, her spirit still embarks on the journey to find Te Fiti's heart.
14:14We have to find Maui!
14:16We have to restore the heart!
14:17When she successfully does this, Te Fiti rewards Moana by resurrecting her.
14:22The possibility of her kicking the bucket early on is definitely a bit grim for a kids movie.
14:26Well, in the sequel film, she does meet her end.
14:29Though it happens in the final climax.
14:32Moana.
14:33Moana.
14:34Moana.
14:34Moana.
14:36You can't.
14:39Luckily, though, she's saved by her ancestors.
14:41Maybe Disney finally leaned into a conspiracy theory.
14:44But regardless, Moana is one badass wayfinder.
14:47If the wind might sail on the sea, she's behind me.
14:52One day I will know how far I'll go.
14:57Wonderland is a very trippy place.
15:09And ever since this story came out, fans have gone down the rabbit hole to unearth the deeper meanings about what was going on with Alice.
15:15What a peculiar place to have a party.
15:19You know, Dino, we really shouldn't be doing this.
15:24Many widely believe that Alice's descent into Wonderland is actually a story about taking illicit drugs.
15:30More specifically, that Alice was on one bad LSD trip the entire time.
15:34Think about it.
15:35She eats mushrooms and chugs down suspicious-looking potions.
15:38That's gonna raise some red flags.
15:39She also sees highly questionable oddities and travels across an impossible land.
15:50Suddenly, Alice in Wonderland became an icon for the counterculture.
15:53It's even the basis behind the song White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.
15:57Needless to say, this theory has picked up a lot of steam.
16:00Why would High School Musical be in the same world as The Purge?
16:10Well, that's because High School Musical clearly exists in a world without rules.
16:22Isn't it legitimately perplexing how the characters can just disrupt their school with reckless abandon?
16:28Or how about the shady happenings down at Lava Springs?
16:30There are basically tons of crimes being committed with no consequences.
16:34That sounds an awful lot like the premise for The Purge,
16:36where all crime is legal for a specific period of time.
16:39Commencing at the siren, any and all crime, including murder, will be legal for 12 continuous hours.
16:46Does an ultra-violent world of anarchy exist outside of the doors of East High?
16:50It's possible.
16:51Look, there are definitely some leaps in logic you'll have to take in order to make this work,
16:55but it is undeniably an entertaining theory regardless.
16:58Oh, okay, so the theater fairy magically sent in Troi's application?
17:03Performers can't fool me, Ryan.
17:04They're deceitful, ambitious, and ruthless.
17:07Number 13.
17:08A post-apocalyptic future.
17:10Aladdin.
17:10This might not be the fairy tale we all think it is.
17:13There's a line in the movie where Genie points out Aladdin's outdated fashion style,
17:17and another moment where he says he was stuck in the magic lamp for over 10,000 years.
17:22Aye!
17:2310,000 years will give you such a crick in the neck!
17:29This means Aladdin could take place in the very far future,
17:32one where the world has been turned into a giant desert from nuclear war.
17:36The flying carpet isn't magic.
17:38It's the last remnant of hoverboard technology.
17:41You, uh, you don't want to go for a ride, do you?
17:45Iago isn't an enchanted talking bird.
17:47He's the result of genetic experimentation.
17:50The biggest breadcrumb actually comes from the Sega tie-in game
17:53where players can find what clearly resembles a bomb.
17:56This suddenly makes the movie a lot less magical and a lot more terrifying.
18:00No, you will never again see the light of death!
18:08Number 12.
18:09Ariel and Hercules are related.
18:11The Little Mermaid and Hercules.
18:13It isn't crazy to think that Ariel has a familial connection to Hercules.
18:17Out of the sea
18:19Wish I could be
18:24She's King Triton's daughter.
18:37And if you know your Greek myths,
18:39you know that Triton is the son of Poseidon.
18:42Poseidon's brother happens to be Zeus,
18:44who is Hercules' father.
18:45That makes Ariel and Hercules second cousins.
18:47Oh, he's strong, like his dad.
18:50What makes this theory so interesting
18:53is that it's pretty much canon even if they don't say it.
18:56Nobody's put them through a 23andMe test,
18:58but we really don't need to.
19:00Young Triton even shows up in the Hercules tie-in prequel show.
19:03Hi, Hercules.
19:05Remember me?
19:05Your cousin, Triton.
19:07Remember?
19:07Triton.
19:08Cousin Triton.
19:09Ring a bell?
19:10While he looks different,
19:11it's not hard to imagine that he develops a glow-up
19:14by the time he appears in The Little Mermaid.
19:16Either way, this is one stacked family tree.
19:19Number 11.
19:20Nemo is dead.
19:21Finding Nemo.
19:23At the start of this movie,
19:24Nemo's father traumatically witnesses his wife and children
19:27get murdered by a gigantic barracuda.
19:29Coral, get inside the house, Coral.
19:33No, no, Coral, don't.
19:34They'll be fine.
19:35Just get inside.
19:36You, right now.
19:37His whole family is wiped out except for young Nemo.
19:40But what if Nemo died too?
19:42Maybe in his immense anguish,
19:44Marlon's mind tricked him.
19:46Maybe it made him think Nemo was still alive
19:48when he actually wasn't.
19:49I promise I will never let anything happen to you.
19:54Nemo.
19:55That means that the entire plot of the movie
19:57is basically just happening in his head
19:59as he tries to grapple with his trauma.
20:01This drastically changes the entire concept
20:03of what Finding Nemo is.
20:05It's no longer an adventure to rescue his son,
20:07but a journey through the stages of grief.
20:09No, he's gone.
20:10It's all right.
20:11He's gone.
20:11It'll be okay.
20:12No, no, they took him away.
20:14This movie is pretty dark already,
20:16but this theory makes it even more gut-wrenching.
20:19Number 10.
20:20Mother Gothel is the Evil Queen,
20:22Tangled and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
20:25Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs contains
20:27one of the most iconic Disney villains in The Evil Queen.
20:30And if this theory holds any water,
20:32she might just show up in Tangled as well.
20:35Magic mirror on the ball,
20:37who now is the fairest one of all?
20:41The theory posits that both stories take place
20:43in southern Germany,
20:44and that the events of Tangled occurred
20:46over 200 years after Snow White.
20:48Gothel also supposedly faked her death
20:51at the end of Snow White
20:52and lived for centuries thanks to the golden flower,
20:55eventually leading to the story of Tangled.
20:58All good things to those who wait.
21:02Furthermore, both characters are vain
21:05and obsessed with physical beauty.
21:07Both wear a similar style dress,
21:09Gothel's dagger resembles the Evil Queen's dagger decor,
21:12and their old age appearances are strikingly similar.
21:16Coincidence?
21:22Number 9.
21:23Bing Bong is a Monster.
21:25Inside Out and Monsters, Inc.
21:27Inside Out really knows how to get the tears flowing,
21:30like having imaginary friend Bing Bong
21:32fade from Riley's memory in the memory dump.
21:34It breaks our hearts just talking about it.
21:37Take her to the moon for me.
21:39Okay?
21:41The famous Pixar universe theory posits
21:44that every Pixar film takes place
21:46within the same universe,
21:47and that applies here.
21:49According to this surprisingly tantalizing theory,
21:51Bing Bong was a monster from Monsters, Incorporated
21:54who used to make Riley laugh.
21:56I went to all of your concerts!
21:58Yeah, I blow a mean nose!
21:59And for those who don't remember,
22:01the ending of Monsters, Inc.
22:02saw the titular creature switching from scares to laughter
22:05in order to produce more energy.
22:07Following this logic,
22:09it is possible that Riley based her imaginary friend
22:11off of the monster who used to visit her every night.
22:14So long, sucker!
22:16Number 8.
22:17Captain Hook took Ariel's mother's life.
22:20Peter Pan and The Little Mermaid franchise.
22:23It's quite common for Disney protagonists
22:26to be minus a parent or two.
22:28Ariel, for instance, is without her mother,
22:30as Queen Athena died after meeting a violent band of pirates.
22:33This was the event that fueled King Triton's hatred of the human race.
22:46A rather tragic theory posits
22:48that the pirates responsible for Athena's death
22:50were none other than Captain Hook and his mischievous crew.
22:53It is, however, possible that Hook captured Athena
22:59and took her to Neverland,
23:00as a mermaid bearing a strong physical resemblance to Athena
23:03and Ariel can be seen lounging on a rock.
23:06If this is true,
23:08it gives us even more reason to hate the one-handed coward.
23:10It's Peter!
23:12Oh!
23:13Hello, Peter!
23:15Hello, Peter!
23:17Hello, Peter!
23:19Number 7.
23:20The CIA.
23:21Lilo and Stitch.
23:22Continuing the Disney tradition of orphaned protagonists
23:25are Lilo and Nani from Lilo and Stitch.
23:28Ving Rhames voices Cobra Bubbles,
23:30an ex-CIA agent turned social worker in Hawaii
23:33who also has connections to Roswell.
23:36Bubbles.
23:37Mr. Bubbles.
23:38That's a strange...
23:39Yes, I know.
23:40However, the theory postulates
23:42that Cobra is not actually a social worker,
23:45but that he has continued life in the CIA.
23:47In fact,
23:48he supposedly once worked with Lilo and Nani's parents,
23:51also CIA agents,
23:53and he's there to look after their kids following their deaths.
23:56You don't look like a social worker.
23:59I'm a special classification.
24:00It's likely that he made some sort of promise
24:02to the girl's parents before they died,
24:04and he used the facade of a social worker
24:06to get close to them.
24:07I know you're trying, Nani,
24:10but you need to think about what's best for Lilo.
24:13Number 6.
24:14Andy's mom is Emily.
24:15Toy Story 2.
24:17One of the most popular theories in the entire Disney canon
24:20regards a new character introduced in Toy Story 2,
24:23and maybe an old character as well.
24:25In the movie's saddest sequence,
24:27Jessie talks about her old owner, Emily.
24:29While the two remained close throughout Emily's childhood,
24:31Emily eventually outgrew Jessie and gave her up.
24:34Every hour we spent together
24:38lives within my heart.
24:42Though it would be a major happenstance,
24:45it is possible that Emily is actually Andy's mom.
24:48Andy, let's go!
24:49Molly's already in her car seat.
24:51She'd be the right age,
24:52and we never learn her first name.
24:54Not only that,
24:55but Andy can be seen sporting a Jessie-style hat in the first movie.
24:59Could this be a hand-me-down accessory
25:01that was once owned by his mother?
25:03An accessory she received alongside her cowgirl Jessie doll?
25:07Hmm.
25:08Come on, Molly.
25:09You're getting heavy.
25:10Number 5.
25:11Humanity's extinction.
25:13Cars.
25:13This movie is arguably a lesser Pixar effort,
25:16but it contains what is also arguably
25:18the darkest theory in the canon.
25:20Viewers probably noticed a lack of humans in Cars.
25:23Was it simply a creative decision
25:29to focus on anthropomorphic vehicles,
25:31or is there something more sinister
25:33hiding under the surface?
25:34According to a theory posited by
25:36art department coordinator Jay Ward,
25:38the Cars simply killed all the humans.
25:41You're in a heap of trouble.
25:42In his mind,
25:43the Cars took on the personalities
25:45of their last drivers,
25:46and proceeded to wipe out humanity
25:48in a mass extinction event.
25:50We know Disney and Pixar movies
25:52contain some dark material,
25:53but this is something else.
25:54May Doc have mercy on your soul.
25:57Number 4.
25:58Anna and Elsa's parents.
26:00Frozen and Tarzan.
26:02It seems like Tarzan might be connected
26:04to many classic Disney films.
26:06For example,
26:07some people theorize that Jane Porter
26:09could be a distant descendant
26:10of Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
26:12But she won't discover
26:14that it's him
26:16till chapter 3.
26:19Furthermore,
26:20it was previously theorized
26:21that Tarzan and Anna and Elsa
26:23from Frozen were secretly related.
26:25As everyone knows,
26:26Anna and Elsa's parents
26:27died in a shipwreck.
26:33But perhaps they survived,
26:35washed up on shore,
26:36established a small settlement
26:38in the jungle,
26:38and gave birth to a baby boy.
26:40They were then killed
26:41by a leopard,
26:42and the baby was raised
26:43by gorillas.
26:44Is Tarzan the long-lost brother
26:46of Anna and Elsa?
26:48Okay, almost certainly not
26:49as Frozen 2 further disproved it.
26:51But it's still fun to consider.
26:53We keep going for Elsa.
26:55The waves are too hot.
26:56They're too hot.
26:57Number 3.
26:58WALL-E is Satan.
27:00WALL-E.
27:01There's nothing like
27:02taking a harmless kids movie
27:03and turning it into a metaphor
27:05about the devil.
27:06This theory states
27:07that WALL-E follows
27:08a similar structure
27:09as the book of Genesis.
27:11The spaceships housing
27:15the remnants of humanity
27:16represent paradise
27:17without problems
27:18like war or hunger.
27:20WALL-E's seedling
27:21is the forbidden fruit,
27:22and by metaphorically
27:24consuming it,
27:25the captain loses
27:26his blissful ignorance,
27:27abandons paradise,
27:28and returns
27:29to the ravaged earth.
27:30The best part of it all?
27:32WALL-E offers
27:33the seedling to Eve,
27:34prompting the eventual
27:35destruction of paradise.
27:36In this case,
27:41WALL-E is the serpent
27:42in the Garden of Eden
27:43who gives the forbidden fruit
27:45to Eve,
27:46ergo Satan.
27:49WALL-E!
27:50Number 2.
27:51Boo is the witch.
27:53Monsters, Inc.,
27:53and Brave.
27:54The aforementioned
27:55Pixar shared universe
27:57strikes again
27:57with a particularly
27:59loopy theory.
28:00It states that
28:00Boo was permanently
28:01scarred by her experiences
28:03in Monsters, Inc.,
28:04and developed a fascination
28:06with the door's mechanics.
28:07Nothing's coming out
28:08of your closet
28:09to scare you anymore,
28:10right?
28:11Hoping to master
28:12the art of dimension hopping,
28:13Boo traveled
28:14to the Will-O'-The-Wisp,
28:15believing it to be
28:16the source of all magic.
28:18By utilizing its power,
28:19she created magic doors
28:21that can hop between
28:21times and dimensions.
28:23She keeps a carving
28:24of Sully in her hut,
28:25and she inadvertently
28:26created Mordu
28:27while attempting
28:28to replicate
28:29her old monster friend.
28:31Mordu!
28:31In fact,
28:32Boo is the instigator
28:33of the entire
28:34shared universe theory,
28:36as the numerous
28:37Pixar Easter eggs
28:38are actually objects
28:39left behind
28:40by a dimension-hopping Boo.
28:42Overall,
28:43it's a very sad theory.
28:44Another witch!
28:45Too many unsatisfied customers!

29:01Number 1.
29:04This movie is based
29:05on a true story,
29:06Chicken Little.
29:07Believe it or not,
29:08there is plenty
29:09of empirical evidence
29:10that suggests
29:11that Chicken Little
29:11is an accurate depiction
29:13of the Forgotten Fallen Sky incident.
29:15The sky is falling!
29:16The sky is falling!
29:18The sky is falling!
29:19Are you crazy?
29:20We're just kidding,
29:21but did you believe us
29:22for a second there?
29:23Now on to the real thing.
29:25Number 1.
29:26Carl actually died.
29:28Up.
29:28As if Up
29:30couldn't get any sadder,
29:31this theory posits
29:32that Carl Fredrickson
29:33was actually dead
29:34for most of the movie.
29:36According to its proponents,
29:37the elderly Carl
29:38passed away
29:39from a combination
29:39of grief and shock
29:41after learning
29:41that he needed
29:42to vacate his home.
29:43Tell your boss
29:44he can have our house.
29:46Really?
29:47Well, I'm dead.
29:49Russell is the guardian angel
29:50sent to transition
29:51a reluctant Carl
29:52to the afterlife,
29:54and it took the form
29:55of a young boy
29:55to honor Carl
29:56and Ellie's lost child.
29:57This one is missing.
29:59This is my assisting
30:00the elderly badge.
30:02If I get it,
30:03I will become
30:04a senior wilderness explorer.
30:07Carl's house
30:07represents his tether
30:08to the real world,
30:10and Paradise Falls
30:11is his own personal heaven.
30:13Russell subsequently
30:13gets his wings,
30:15or in this case
30:15his merit badges,
30:16and Carl accepts death
30:18when his house lands
30:19in Paradise Falls.
30:20And you thought
30:21the last one was sad.
30:22Are there any other
30:26head-scratching
30:27Disney theories
30:27we forgot?
30:28Report your findings
30:29down in the comments.
30:31Coincidence?
30:31I think not!
30:32is something that
30:40is still
30:42in thei
30:43year.
30:43I think not
30:44it's going to be
