5 Disney Fan Theories That Completely Make Sense (And 5 That Are Far-Fetched)

While Disney is famous for its uplifting animated stories, conspiracy theories are a popular favorite. Some of them are reasonable, while others are absurd.Disney is renowned for its uplifting narratives and breathtaking aesthetics, but it's also well-known for its Easter eggs and secret characters that give rise to elaborate conspiracies about what fans believe actually transpired. Fans have filled the internet with speculations that have spread like wildfire thanks to places like Reddit.
But not all theories are created equal. Though no theory is untrue, several are rather improbable unless Disney can demonstrate otherwise. Continue reading to learn about five hypotheses that make perfect sense (along with five that may use some improvement).

#1 Makes Sense: Emily Was Really Andy's Mom In Toy Story

We all discovered Jessie's past and how her owner, Emily, gave her up in Toy Story 2. There is a theory out there, though, that Emily was in fact Andy's mother. Could the fact that Emily loved her cowgirl doll, Jessie, so much be the reason Andy was given Woody?
According to the idea, Andy's headgear at the start of Toy Story resembles Jessie's hat more than Woody's. That may have come from his "real mom," if he had one.

#2 Far-Fetched: The Ship Ariel Found In The Little Mermaid Was King And Queen Of Arendelle's

According to one idea, the abandoned ship that Ariel and Flounder discover in The Little Mermaid is the same vessel that the King and Queen of Arendelle were traveling on in the animated film Frozen.
Disney fans are aware that Anna and Elsa's parents perished when their ship sank at sea. Many people have noted how eerily similar the ships were in both films, uniting the two universes. However, other people think this theory is a little absurd and is more likely just wishful thinking.

#3 Makes Sense: Meg From Hercules Is Technically A Disney Princess

The Disney princesses that come to mind include Cinderella, Tiana, Moana, and Snow White. Why don't we consider Meg from Hercules more often? In the Disney film Hercules, the protagonist is a god's son, making him a Disney prince. Although Hercules and Meg are not shown getting married in the movie, it is clear that this is the direction they are going in since, hey, this is Disney—couples don't split up. Why aren't we seeing Meg on more stuff if she's a Disney princess?

#4 Far-Fetched: Peter Pan Is Jane's Dad

Peter Pan is renowned for being the little child who defies maturation. He is mystic, endowed with special abilities, and the tales he tells are often beyond our comprehension. Wendy had a naive love for Peter, but it was clear that he had only ever been concerned with himself.
One theory states that Jane, Wendy, and her husband Edward's kid, resemble Peter more than Edward in the movie Return to Never Land. Given that Wendy and Peter both have red hair, their offspring would also have red hair, as Jane does. But does this imply that Peter and Wendy cheated on Edward? In a Disney animated film?

#5 Makes Sense: Carl Was Dead All Along In Up

Up from Pixar and Disney had it all: laughter, horror, tears, and adventure. It was the ideal movie. In the first scene of Up, Carl's wife dies, leaving him to realize his shared lifelong desire to see Paradise Falls. Then he embarks on an adventure after attaching many balloons to his home. What if, though, his journey to Paradise Falls was really just him making his way into the afterlife? He may have found happiness as the film progressed because of Russell, who served as his guardian angel.

#6 Far-Fetched: Boo From Monster's Inc. Turns Evil

In Monster's Inc., Boo is the adorable young girl whom everyone was so scared of. Sully and Mike realized right away that Boo poses no danger to monsters. They actually sought to find her door because of how kind and loving she is. What if Boo wasn't as lovely as we initially believed? According to a belief on Reddit, as Boo gets older, she will remember the creatures that terrorized her for so long and lived in her closet. According to the notion, when a monster returns to her closet, she kills it to show the rest of the world that they are real and sells the hide to get money.

#7 Makes Sense: Lion King & Pocahontas Prefaced The Spirits In The Wind

Pocahontas, who looks to the wind for direction, lost her mother when she was a small child. Pocahontas is at peace when the wind is nearby because her mother is there. But Disney has made reference to "wind spirits" in other works as well.
A Reddit user proposed the theory that The Lion King was the catalyst for everything. When Rafiki finds out that Simba is still alive, we watch him listening to the wind. In the breeze, Pocahontas hears her mother. In Frozen, there is also a moving wind scene. Does this imply that the wind is one individual spirit that is unique to the character or one universal spirit?

#8 Far-Fetched: Triton & Ursula Used To Be An Item In The Little Mermaid

In The Little Mermaid, King Triton and Ursula the Sea Witch hate one another. Ursula tries to take the kingdom away from him, but he practically rules it. However, what if there is unspoken tension between the two?
Ariel doesn't resemble her sisters at all, according to one fan's theory, so King Triton must have cheated on Ursula and fathered a loving kid because they were previously married (i.e. Ariel). She has been pursuing Ariel and King Triton's realm ever since the two decide to part ways.

#9 Makes Sense: Did Aladdin Even Happen?!

Aladdin is enigmatic in many different ways. The movie offers many possibilities, including the Genie, magic lights, and talking animals.
As he tries to sell the magic lamp, the merchant who opens the film begins by reciting the tale of Aladdin. What if the entire tale he is saying is untrue? What if he concocted the whole tale shown in Aladdin in order to sell the lamp?

#10 Far-Fetched: Was Frozen Trying To Predict Coronavirus?

The COVID-19 pandemic was unpredictable, and Disney was not exempt. The characters in Frozen may have foretold it and known it would happen, according to one fan's theory. What if there was a pandemic outside Elsa and Anna's castle gates and they were forced to spend so much time inside? The reason they were so excited about the coronation is that the doors (or boarders) were finally lifted. Does Disney know something we don't know?
