Despite what Disney fans may believe, Tarzan is not related to "Frozen" characters Anna and Elsa. "Can I put one rumor to rest that is my fault? Tarzan's parents are not Anna and Elsa's parents," said codirector Chris Buck during a 20th anniversary panel for "Tarzan" to a lot of applause from the crowd.
Speaking to MTV US, Frozen director confirmed that the sibling theory is true. The idea is that, instead of Anna and Elsa's parents dying in a shipwreck as 'Frozen 'would have you believe, they actually survived and washed up in a jungle - where they gave birth to baby Tarzan and lived in a tree.
Yes, you read that right. "Frozen" co-director Chris Buck has confirmed that at least one of the many Disney conspiracy theories floating around is correct -- Tarzan is Anna and Elsa's little brother. Back up, explain.
As he explained to co-director Jennifer Lee, Buck envisions Anna and Elsa's parents being shipwrecked off the coast of Africa and eventually giving birth to a boy we know as Tarzan. "In my little head, Anna and Elsa's brother is Tarzan," he told MTV.
Tarzan is Elsa and Anna's Long Lost Brother.
Remember how in Frozen it is just informed to Elsa and Anna that their parents have died in a shipwreck? Well, the fans think that there was no shipwreck and after surviving the storm the ship shored to an island with luscious jungle.

Frozen's Elsa and Anna are Rapunzel's cousins
Continuing the family theme, Rapunzel and Eugene are very clearly seen arriving at Elsa's coronation in Frozen.
There are plenty of theories out there when it comes to our fave stories and fairy-tales, but one has been confirmed and OMG, it's a big one. It turns out that Tarzan is the younger brother of Anna and Elsa from Frozen.
Writer and director of Frozen, Jennifer Lee, has confirmed in the past that the parents were indeed on their way to a wedding - Rapunzel and Flynn's wedding to be exact. And in a scene from the popular film, we see the newlyweds at Elsa's coronation.
Is Ahtohallan horrible or amazing? Elsa and Anna's parents didn't die by shipwreck where we thought they'd died by shipwreck (always a fun, uncomplicated topic for kids!); they actually died by shipwreck trying to journey to Ahtohallan, the mythical island they believed held the answers to Elsa's powers.
Disney Pixar
Elsa's boyfriend Jack Frost is from another studio.
Book appearances. Iduna is the mother of Elsa and Anna, wife of Agnarr, former member of the Northuldra, and former queen of Arendelle by marriage to King Agnarr.
That means Anna and Elsa's parents, Queen Iduna and King Agnarr, are also Tarzan's parents, and one of the film's directors kinda confirmed the theory during a Reddit AMA back in 2015.
"Tarzan" is the ape-name of John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke, according to Burroughs's Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. (Later, less canonical sources, notably the 1984 film Greystoke, make him Earl of Greystoke.)
Elsa of Arendelle is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' animated film Frozen (2013) and its sequel the animated film Frozen II (2019).
According to her Frozen co-director, Chris Buck, Elsa and Anna's parents didn't die at sea like most believed, but instead, had a baby at sea before they were shipwrecked, and then they all washed up on the shores of a jungle island where they built a tree house to live in before meeting a tragic end when the parents ...
And after Anna (Elizabeth Lail) visited the rock trolls (yep, those of "Fixer-Upper" fame), that particularl family lineage was confirmed: The Snow Queen is the sister of Elsa and Anna's mother, Gerda. Originally named Ingrid, she was wiped from everyone's memory, along with...
Mother Gothel
Her actual age is around 400 years old, and due to this Gothel became obsessed with regaining her youth. She was ultimately forced to kidnap Rapunzel and raise her as her own at the cost of abandoning her birth daughter, Cassandra.
Here, she is called Gerda (a character named "Gerda" does appear in Frozen, but she is one of the servants, not Elsa and Anna's mother). Gerda is the youngest child of her royal Arendelle family and has two elder sisters, Ingrid and Helga. Ingrid, like Elsa, has the power of ice and snow.
According to Jennifer Lee, Anna is 18 years old in the film, while both Elsa and Kristoff are 21 years old and Hans is 23 years old.
Frozen 2 Finally Kills That Tarzan Theory
The fan theory that Tarzan is the brother to Anna and Elsa is officially disproved in Frozen 2. As Disney's animated library has grown, filmmakers and animators have routinely worked in Easter eggs to other properties.
In the Disney film adaptation, Anna is depicted as the princess of Arendelle, a fictional Scandinavian kingdom, and the younger sister of Elsa (Idina Menzel), who is the heiress to the throne and possesses the elemental ability to create and control ice and snow.
Synopsis. Elsa and Anna are the royal sisters of Arendelle. When Elsa becomes queen, she accidentally creates a snowstorm in the entire kingdom!
In the past, Rapunzel had two daughters, Anastasia and Drizella, and made a deal with Mother Gothel to be locked in a tower in exchange for the safety of her family. Six years later, Rapunzel frees herself and when she returns to her family, she discovers she has gained a stepdaughter named Ella.
