  (#12) The Shipwrecked Parents In 'Frozen' Wind Up In 'Tarzan' 

  Frozen co-director Chris Buck caused something of a stir when he suggested during a Q&A on Reddit that the film was linked with another Disney movie he had directed. According to Buck, Frozen and Tarzan both share some characters. Elsa and Anna's parents, who are revealed to have died in a shipwreck, may have actually survived and landed on a jungle island along with their young son. Buck told MTV:

  Of course Anna and Elsa's parents didn't die. Yes, there was a shipwreck, but they were at sea a little bit longer than we think they were because the mother was pregnant, and she gave birth on the boat, to a little boy. They get shipwrecked, and somehow they really washed way far away from the Scandinavian waters, and they end up in the jungle. They end up building a tree house and a leopard kills them, so their baby boy is raised by gorillas. So in my little head, Anna and Elsa's brother is Tarzan.

  (#13) The Vehicles In 'Cars' Overthrew Humanity

  Cars creative director Jay Ward essentially confirmed a long-running theory about Pixar franchise in 2017. According to Ward, the cars overthrew humanity when they realized they were no longer needed. Ward explained his reasoning in an interview with ScreenCrush:

  If you think about this, we have autonomous car technology coming in right now. It’s getting to the point where you can sit back in the car and it drives itself. Imagine in the near-future when the cars keep getting smarter and smarter and after one day they just go, "Why do we need human beings anymore? They’re just slowing us down. It’s just extra weight, let’s get rid of them." But the car takes on the personality of the last person who drove it. Whoa. There you go.

  (#1) The Peddler At The Start Of 'Aladdin' Is The Genie

  Ever since Aladdin was released in 1992, fans have argued the peddler working at the bazaar at the start of the film is the Genie. The peddler's appearance and voice are eerily similar to that of the Genie, and fans were convinced they were one and the same. One of the co-directors of the film, Ron Clements, granted fans' wish when he confirmed their hypothesis was true to E! News:

  That was the whole intention, originally. We even had that at the end of the movie, where he would reveal himself to be the Genie, and of course Robin [Williams] did the voice of the peddler. Just through story changes and some editing, we lost the reveal at the end. So, that's an urban legend that actually is true.

  (#4) A Scene From 'The Wolverine' Foreshadows The Ending Of 'Logan'

  After seeing Logan for the first time, some fans came out of the cinema with a sneaky feeling Logan's demise had already been referenced in a previous film. In The Wolverine, Yukio tells Logan she has seen his death: he will die on his back, with blood everywhere, and says he will be "holding [his] own heart in [his] hand.”

  The fan theory contended that this was not a reference to something in the first film, but rather a foretelling of how he ultimately dies in Logan. He dies while holding his "heart," which is really the hand of his daughter, Laura. Director James Mangold confirmed this was the case directly to a fan on Twitter in March 2017.

  (#6) 'RoboCop' Is An Allegory For The Resurrection Of Christ

  RoboCop fans posit the film is a modern interpretation of the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That's something director Paul Verhoeven also believed, and he confirmed the idea in a 2010 interview with MTV:

  The point of RoboCop, of course, it is a Christ story. It is about a guy who gets crucified in the first 50 minutes, and then is resurrected in the next 50 minutes, and then is like the supercop of the world, but is also a Jesus figure as he walks over water at the end.

  (#7) Chief In 'Wonder Woman' Is A Demi-God

  During Wonder Woman, the title character meets with a man known as Chief. They chat to each other in a foreign language that isn’t subtitled. Fans went into intense research mode and discovered the language is Blackfoot, which is spoken by several indigenous tribes living in the Canada and the United States. 

  Once Native speakers translated the speech, it was revealed Chief introduces himself to Wonder Woman as Napi, a demi-god in Blackfoot culture. Some speculated this meant Chief was really a deity. Actor Eugene Brave Rock confirmed the theory on Twitter.
