i am openly admitting to loving disney movies but i am also openly admitting theyre a completely shitty company in terms of progressive ideas for racial diversity
They’ve literally done movies about almost every race and culture on this planet.
I can’t seem to think of a disney movie featuring a protagonist that was queer/muslim/jewish/japanese/you know what I could go on all day
Alright I’m going to explain it all and then wash my hands of this.
Indisputable:
Elsa’s mom and Rapunzel’s mom are sisters. Elsa, Anna, and Rapunzel are cousins. Rapuzel and Eugene got married and the Arandelle king and queen were going to be in attendance but their ship sunk on the way there. Three years later, Rapunzel and Eugene go to Elsa’s coronation as a sort of ‘sorry you’re parents dying going to see us get hitched’.
This image alone make it indisputable that Rapunzel, Anna, and Elsa are in the same timeline.
I am 87% certain that this is Disney-Confirmed but now I can’t find the source for that smh.
Also here are the locations of the two movies (Norway and Germany):
This is confirmed by the Disney Wiki:
By looking at five things: architecture, nature, landscape, politics, and the styles of dress in Tangled, the best fit for a real-world Kingdom of Corona would be along the Baltic Sea coast of Germany and Poland at some point from 16th to the 18th century. [x]
The name “Arendelle” is based on the Norwegian town of Arendal, located southwest of the Norwegian capital, Oslo. In Norwegian, “Aren” means “eagle”, and “delle” is most likely derived from “dal” which means “valley.” [x]
Now Let’s Talk About Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid takes place in Denmark.
This is smack-dab in between Norway and Germany. Ariel swam around a bunch in the North Sea. Elsa’s and Anna’s parents would have traveled through the North Sea to get to Rapunzel’s Kingdom
The Little Mermaid takes place in the 17th or 18th century based on the architecture, clothing, etc. It was also written by Hans Christian Anderson in 1837.
So they’re all landing in the right time period.
How It All Goes Down
Elsa’s parents leave Arandelle after being invited to the queen’s sister’s daughter’s wedding, and travel through the North Sea. Unfortunately for them Poseidon or whoever decides to wreak havoc. They sink in the North Sea. Three years later Rapunzel and her husband go to Arandelle.
Now we have Ariel doing her thing and we see her go to visit the ship graveyard. There’s a boatload (ha) of ships here. Probably because this particular part of the sea is especially treacherous.
Now I’m by no means saying that the ship that she visits in the movie is the Arandelle ship. The ship she visits is a pirate vessel. BUT the Arandelle ship is rotting away in the ocean down there and Ariel at one point probs hopped in their for a peak around.
The Tarzan Theory
Bogus. Bogus. Bogus. Bogus. Not even gonna try to sugar coat it for you. It’s wrong.
Tarzan takes place somewhere in Africa. Africa my friends. As in VERY FAR AWAY FROM NORWAY. The parents’ ship did not float through the English channel, down and around France and Spain to end up somewhere along the coast of Africa. Also, Tarzan’s parents’ ship was on fire. The Arandelle ship just sank.
Let’s talk about time frame also.
Tarzan takes place in the early 20th century. Steamships–which we see here in Tarzan:
aren’t in use in Frozen/Tangled. They were invented in the 1860s. That’s on the very late end of things for possible Frozen/Tangled dates. ALSO Tarzan features a windjammer, which was first seen in the early 20th century.
So there you have it folks. Tarzan theory is officially debunked. (Also why would Elsa’s parents build a dank af treehouse when they could build a ship of the same caliber and return to their daughters in a jiffy).
In Conclusion: Yes To Little Mermaid-Tangled-Frozen. No to Tarzan-Tangled-Frozen
Snow White has a tween who sits on the couch all day. This infuriates Snow White who complains, “You have no idea how easy you have it. When I was your age I had to do menial labor!”
Pocahontas is the leader of her daughter’s Girl Scouts troop, and loves taking the girls on nature hikes to see “the colors of the wind.” She does not, however, enjoy trying to sell cookies outside the marketplace.
Ariel is constantly battling her husband over how much freedom they should give their teenager. “Are you kidding, Eric?” she often says. “When I was her age I thought a fork was a comb and practically sold my soul to a witch to get a boyfriend! There is no way she’s going to the fair alone!”
Cinderella is the ultimate Pinterest mom. She DIYs her kids gorgeous clothes (with a little help from her now elderly pals, Jaq and Gus), bakes amazing cakes, and uses eco-friendly home cleaning techniques.
Jasmine is a PTA mom, and strikes fear in the eyes of the school administrators because she’s tough and doesn’t let her kids suffer any injustices.
Belle is a dedicated homeschooler, but finds it is a lot harder to teach her kids than it was to teach the Beast. He says, to her ire, “I was only a good student because I thought you were a hottie, Belle.”
Aurora has a teenager who sleeps in way too late. This drives Aurora nuts, but when she calls her daughter on it she says, “Whatever, mom. Dad says that when you were my age you slept for days!”
Merida has her own set of triplets she can’t seem to potty train. This drives her mad, especially when they pee around the potty. She often scolds, “If I can hit a bullseye from a hundred yards, you can tinkle in the toilet!”
Tiana struggles to get her four-year-old to eat anything except for beignets. She’s so desperate to get her kid to eat better that she’s taken to grinding up veggies and hiding them in her beignets.
Mulan has a super-girly daughter who she does not know what to do with. Many nights she complains to Li Shang, “I singlehandedly defeated the Huns, and yet she worships Miss Chen from next door because she’s good at makeup!”
Anna feels like she is always in the sled, carting her kids around town to ice harvesting class, magic lessons with the troll king, and play dates with Olaf’s many snow kids.
Rapunzel was stuck inside a tower her entire childhood and has vowed not to subject her kids to that. She’s now a “free-range parent,” and even wrote a book on the subject, Let Your Kids Down From The Tower.
