Disney Facts You Haven’t Fully Processed, Part 2

Yesterday I posted part 1 to this story from the Oh My Disney blog.  Today, I thought I would share part 2 for all to think about and ponder.  Enjoy!!

Hans Christian Andersen wrote “The Snow Queen,” the story that inspired Frozen. The names of the main characters in Frozen sound out his name: Hans, Kristoff, Anna, Sven.

WALL·E’s name recalls someone you may have heard of: a one Walter Elias Disney.

In The Lion King, everyone acknowledges that the elephant graveyard is a thing… which means that either the elephants hold funerals there, or they just head over to that general area when they get really old. Either way: odd.

Tiana works a night shift at Cal’s and then a day shift at Duke’s, then bakes a zillion beignets for Charlotte. She was probably awake for twenty-four straight hours before she kissed Naveen and turned into a frog. That’s some commitment.

Flounder somehow managed to carry a giant statue of Prince Eric over to Ariel’s grotto and through the tiny entrance. We’re not entirely sure how… but at least Ariel appreciated it.

Rapunzel made it all the way from her tower to the kingdom with no shoes, after having never been outside before. Think of all the pebbles! What a trooper.

In Beauty and the Beast, the junk stashed in the West Wing is probably the castle’s furniture from before the enchantment. After all the occupants turned into enchanted objects, they would have had doubles of everything. Moving it all up there must have been awkward.

Rubber + springs + vim + vigor = Tigger. As in, if we combined all those ingredients we could have this cuddly fella, or at least, we could if he didn’t happen to be the only one.

According to the directors of Frozen, Anna and Elsa’s parents were on their way to a wedding (perhaps Flynn and Rapunzel’s, considering they came to Elsa’s coronation) when their ship sank at sea… but they didn’t drown. They washed up on a deserted island, built a treehouse, and gave birth to a baby boy…

Editor’s note: We included this Frozen/Tarzan theory in the spirit of good old fashioned debate, so we’re glad to see you’re discussing it! Chris Buck has hinted at the idea, but no, it’s not official… or is it? (No, it’s not. We were just trying to be mysterious.) 

Do you know any other crazy Disney facts we didn’t include? Tell us in the comments!
