Cartoons have long been a\u00a0source of\u00a0entertainment<\/a>, but beneath their colorful exteriors, fans have unearthed theories that offer deeper, sometimes darker interpretations of\u00a0these beloved shows. Here are some unusual theories about our favorite cartoons that might make you think twice.<\/p>\n A\u00a0popular fan theory suggests<\/a> that Tarzan is\u00a0the younger brother of\u00a0Elsa and Anna from Disney\u2019s Frozen<\/a><\/i>. This idea gained traction when Chris Buck, co-director of\u00a0both Tarzan<\/i><\/a> and Frozen<\/i>, shared his imaginative connection between the two stories.<\/p>\n In\u00a0a\u00a02015\u00a0interview, Buck explained his personal narrative: after the shipwreck depicted in\u00a0Frozen<\/i>, King Agnarr and Queen Iduna survived and were washed ashore on\u00a0a\u00a0jungle island. There, the queen gave birth to\u00a0a\u00a0son, and the family built a\u00a0treehouse before being tragically killed by\u00a0a\u00a0leopard, leaving their infant to\u00a0be\u00a0raised by\u00a0gorillas\u2014this child being Tarzan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A\u00a0popular theory suggests<\/a> that each main character embodies one of\u00a0the Seven Deadly Sins:<\/p>\n Contrary to\u00a0the prehistoric setting, some fans believe<\/a> The Flintstones<\/i><\/a> is\u00a0set in\u00a0a\u00a0post-apocalyptic future where humanity has reverted to\u00a0Stone Age technology, explaining the coexistence of\u00a0modern concepts with primitive tools.<\/p>\n A\u00a0darker theory suggests<\/a> that the babies in\u00a0Rugrats<\/i> are figments of\u00a0Angelica\u2019s imagination, created to\u00a0cope with loneliness and neglect. This would explain why adults often misunderstand or\u00a0overlook the babies\u2019 adventures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Some fans theorize<\/a> that the cul-de-sac kids are actually spirits trapped in\u00a0purgatory, each from different eras, which explains the show\u2019s timeless setting and absence of\u00a0adults.<\/p>\n A\u00a0fan theory suggests<\/a> that Pinky is\u00a0the true genius, subtly sabotaging Brain\u2019s plans to\u00a0prevent global domination, thereby protecting the world from Brain\u2019s megalomania.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Observant fans have noted<\/a> similarities between the students in\u00a0The Magic School Bus <\/i>and the Planeteers in\u00a0Captain Planet<\/i>, theorizing that Ms. Frizzle\u2019s class grew up\u00a0to\u00a0become environmental heroes.<\/p>\n Some believe that Aladdin<\/a><\/i> is\u00a0set in<\/a>\u00a0a\u00a0distant future after a\u00a0catastrophic event, explaining the mix of\u00a0ancient and futuristic technologies, like the Genie\u2019s references to\u00a0modern culture. <\/p>\n A\u00a0theory suggests<\/a> that each character in\u00a0Winnie the Pooh<\/i> represents a\u00a0different mental disorder: Pooh with an\u00a0eating disorder, Eeyore with depression, Piglet with anxiety, and Tigger with ADHD.<\/p>\n A\u00a0popular theory suggests<\/a> that the secret ingredient in\u00a0the Krabby Patty is\u00a0imitation crab meat, implying that Mr. Krabs may be\u00a0serving his own kind. This idea<\/a> stems from the lack of\u00a0crabs in\u00a0Bikini Bottom and the burger\u2019s name.<\/p>\n Proponents of\u00a0this idea propose<\/a> that Dopey was not a\u00a0true dwarf, but a\u00a0human child mistakenly taken in\u00a0by\u00a0the six other dwarfs. As\u00a0he\u00a0grew taller and more human-like, the dwarfs eventually expelled him. <\/p>\n Dopey then wandered to\u00a0Italy, adopted the name Geppetto, and became a\u00a0woodcarver. His longing for family and memories of\u00a0Snow White<\/i> inspired him to\u00a0create Pinocchio<\/i>, a\u00a0puppet he\u00a0envisioned as\u00a0the child they might have had together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In\u00a0Aladdin<\/i>, the opening scene features a\u00a0merchant who tells the story of\u00a0the magic lamp. Some believe this merchant is\u00a0actually the Genie in\u00a0disguise, narrating his own tale. This theory is\u00a0supported by\u00a0the fact that both characters are voiced by\u00a0Robin Williams and share similar mannerisms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Fans have noted striking similarities<\/a> between Jane Porter from Tarzan<\/i> and Belle from Beauty and the Beast<\/i>, leading to\u00a0the theory that Jane is\u00a0Belle\u2019s great-great-granddaughter. Both characters share a\u00a0love for books and have a\u00a0similar appearance, and in\u00a0Tarzan<\/i>, Jane\u2019s father is\u00a0seen pouring tea into a\u00a0set that closely resembles Mrs. Potts and Chip, suggesting a\u00a0familial connection.<\/p>\n A\u00a0fan theory suggests<\/a> that Moana is\u00a0the daughter of\u00a0the demigod Maui, rather than Chief Tui and Sina. Proponents of\u00a0this theory point to\u00a0the strong bond that develops between Moana and Maui during their journey, as\u00a0well as\u00a0certain elements from Polynesian mythology that could imply a\u00a0familial connection.<\/p>\n In\u00a0Polynesian legends, there are tales involving characters named Maui and Sina. One such story involves Sina being pursued by\u00a0an\u00a0eel, which Maui kills, leading to\u00a0the creation of\u00a0the first coconut tree. Some fans interpret these myths as\u00a0indicative of\u00a0a\u00a0deeper connection between Moana and Maui in\u00a0the film.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Teletubbies<\/i> children\u2019s show has inspired various fan theories, one of\u00a0which suggests<\/a> that the Teletubbies are robots that have replaced humanity in\u00a0a\u00a0dystopian future. <\/p>\n This theory interprets the Teletubbies\u2019 mechanical features, such as\u00a0the screens on\u00a0their abdomens and antennae on\u00a0their heads, as\u00a0evidence of\u00a0their robotic nature. The absence of\u00a0human characters in\u00a0the show further fuels speculation that the Teletubbies inhabit a\u00a0post-human world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n And if\u00a0these cartoon theories made you think twice, just wait until you hear about the secret details hidden in\u00a0Disney movies. Spoiler: you\u2019ll never see your favorite scenes the same way again<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\nEntertainment 1. Tarzan is\u00a0the Brother of\u00a0Elsa and Anna from <\/i>Frozen<\/i><\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
