10 Disney Movie Characters Who Are Related You Never Knew About

[Music] there are few things better than finding out that your favorite Disney characters share the same family tree with this in mind Disney planted Easter eggs in every single one of their movies watch until the end to find out which Disney character is Jane's great-grandmother first time at the things don't forget to subscribe to our channel and give this video a big thumbs up so are you ready to find out which Disney characters share the same DNA healthy baby girl a princess was born with beautiful golden hair Ariel and Hercules it's hard to believe that Ariel could be related to any member of the Disney family because well she's a mermaid for crying out loud I just don't see things the way he does I don't see how wonderful things could be bad regardless of this it looks like the little mermaids got a lot more to our family tree than meets the eye whether Disney planned for Ariel and Hercules to be cousins is up for debate but we can't deny their heritage given the facts are you up to date with your Greek mythology well we weren't either until we got our hands on this tidbit of information as many of you know Hercules is the son of the almighty Zeus and Zeus has more than a few siblings to account for well it looks like one of them is none other than Triton who happens to be Ariel's father both Triton and Zeus are the sons of Poseidon making Ariel and Hercules first cousins where one cousin was born high up in the sky the other was born in the deepest corners of the sea this makes them polar opposites that doesn't mean that they can't find common ground after all they both ended up falling in love with humans and living amongst them on the mainland Elsa Anna and Rapunzel when you think about it it makes total sense that Disney would want to create a universe that welcomes each and every one of their characters so it's not too surprising to find out that some royal families share common members in 2010 we fell in love with the sweet and innocent Rapunzel and only then will I return your satchel to you that is my deal and watched with awe as she bravely chased after her dreams after gaining her life back and falling in love with Eugene the two love bugs were invited to a special coronation ceremony so wanting to meet her cousins for the first time Rapunzel sailed to arendelle with Eugene at her side while three years might have passed before Rapunzel went to arendelle she seemed more than happy to congratulate Elsa on her coronation Anna and Elsa are first cousins with Rapunzel and they're more alike than you would believe this is especially true when you take Elsa and Rapunzel into consideration both these cousins are blonde and have magical powers on top of that they both know what it feels like to be locked away for years at a time are you surprised to find out that these princesses are part of the same royal family well if you are make sure to strap on your seat belt because this is the least big surprise that's coming your way Ariel and the unnamed mermaid there's a lot about Ariel that we don't know and thankfully Disney saw fit to give us the inside scoop by releasing The Little Mermaid Ariel's beginning in this film we finally get the answer to one long-lost question who is Ariel's mother our song [Music] Queen Athena was a kind and just ruler however her life came to an abrupt end when pirates ransacked the sandy shores of the mermaid lagoon while there's no doubt in our mind that this version of Queen Athena is strong and true we believe that there's another version of her out there do you remember seeing mermaids in Peter Pan well so do we and after examining the scene a little more we can't help but notice a resemblance between Ariel and a certain redheaded mermaid while Disney has yet to confirm this theory it isn't unlike done to hide Easter eggs in their movies and then refuse to comment on their existence Disney's Peter Pan came out in 1953 and The Little Mermaid followed 36 years later while this timeline would prevent Queen Athena from being her young and fertile self there's one factor to consider you don't age when your Neverland so technically the unnamed mermaid could have lived in Neverland for decades before choosing to marry King Triton Emily and Andy Toy Story might be considered as a Pixar movie but in the end it was released by Walt Disney Pictures so we've decided to include this film on our list because frankly this information is too juicy to miss we all know who Andy is he loves his toys respects his mom and never forgets about his friends but how much do we know about his mother Andy's mom goes by the name of Miss Davis which makes us think that Disney purposely withheld her first name this sneaky act might have been overlooked for a long time but the truth is about to come to life Andy's mom made it clear that woody has been in her family for decades which makes us think that she used to play with him when she was a kid in Toy Story 2 we got to take a look at Jesse's backstory which placed her under the care of a little girl named Emily during this scene we see Jessie sitting on a bed with a human-sized replica of her cowgirl hat perched next to her when you take a closer look you'll see that this hat is the same one that Andy wears throughout the Toy Story movies so basically this is all the proof we need to put two and two together so in other words Andy and Emily are mother and son and she eventually passes down all her antique toys to him Elsa Anna and Tarzan every Disney movie starts with a significant loss which isn't always the easiest thing to handle for this reason many of us have stricken Bambi from the collection seeing as it's impossible to get past the first 10 minutes of the film although movies like frozen also begin with a freak accident their tone makes it easier to get hooked from the get-go as many of you know Elsa and Anna lost both of their parents when they were young girls their mom and dad sailed off to sea but never reached their destination nor did they ever return to arendelle so in other words they were proclaimed as goners and never seen or heard from again well it turns out that King Agner and Queen a Doudna didn't sink along with their ship instead they wound up on a deserted island where they gave birth to their son Tarzan after being attacked by a leopard Tarzan's parents were forced to leave this world and let their infant fend for himself luckily a nurturing gorilla found the young bundle of joy and raised him as her own despite never knowing about his family Tarzan is indeed a prince while we'd love to see Elsa Anna and Tarzan reunite we don't see how this would be possible but hey who knows what the future holds Snow White and the Queen we all know who Snow White is she's a lovely 14 year old girl with skin as white as snow this Disney character first got attention in 1937 when the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came out while Disney reinvented the fairy tale to cater to their audience the original Snow White story had some significant differences for starters the Evil Queen and Snow White are actually related by blood well Disney made it look as though the Evil Queen was Snow White's stepmom she was initially her birth mother in the Grimm's fairy tale but Queen realizes that her daughter is becoming are beautiful than she ever was which causes her to hire an assassin to murder her only child despite her many attempts to become the fairest of them all the queen is never able to obtain this title again while many of us were led to believe that Snow White's mother passed away when she was young it seems like mother dearest had been watching over her all along Moana and taffy tea may be hard to believe that mallanna and taffy tea share the same blood and this is because defeat II is more of an Islander than anything this goddess has the power to create life which would make every single human in the Moana film her child after all without her magic the world would solely be populated by oceans after creating millions of islands to feed he was finally able to rest sadly it didn't take long for selfish people to attempt to steal her heart after being robbed of her love and innocence defeat he transformed into tika a fire-breathing lava monster who spreads disease into the oceans knowing that her heart needed to be restored the ocean elected a baby named Moana with the task so why would the seed do such a thing well we believe that it's because Moana is a descendant of taffy tea and that only a kindred spirit could return her heart without getting corrupted along the way well this theory may seem absurd there's a reason why Moana and taffy tea look like the same person and it's because they are in a way Maui's actions cost mallanna's heart to get stolen as well seeing as they prevented her from sailing like her ancestors once did while Disney has yet to confirm this fan theory the uncanny resemblance between these two characters speaks for itself Rapunzel and snow-white Rapunzel and Snow White might be very different people but they happen to share the same stepmother well this doesn't make them blood related it ties them together in more ways than one if you do believe that the Evil Queen and Mother Gothel are one in the same this would make the young princesses stepsisters last time we checked adoptive families don't need DNA to make them legitimate after failing to become the fairest of them all the Evil Queen began to age as any regular person would however this was unacceptable much like the Evil Queen Mother Gothel is obsessed with beauty and youth so much so that she harvested a unique flower that could restore her youthful face after finding out that her magic flowers had been stolen and consumed Mother Gothel kidnapped baby Rapunzel and plotted to use her powers for the rest of her life her evil plans came to an end when Eugene cut off Rapunzel's hair therefore breaking the spell only then do we see mother Gothel begin to take her true form which comes in the shape of an old wicked witch at this point the resemblance between the Evil Queen and Mother Gothel becomes uncanny making us believe that they're one in the same so although Snow White and Rapunzel have never met they were raised by the same evil being making them unfortunate stepsisters Prince Erik and Prince Phillip all Princess Ariel ever wanted was to follow her heart which is why she embarked on such an epic journey after falling in love with Prince Erik from afar she chose to strike a deal with Ursula the sea witch your voice my voice after exchanging her voice for a pair of legs Ariel did everything she could to win over her Prince's affection on their first night together Prince Erik invited Ariel over for supper and the couple dined in a Great Hall while there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary with this scene some fans took a more in-depth look and noticed something of great significance on the wall of the Great Hall is a portrait of a brown haired man and a golden haired woman some fans believe this couple to be none other than Princess Aurora and Prince Philip so why would Prince Eric have this portrait on display if he wasn't indeed related to the couple while there's no way of knowing whether Erik is related to Aurora or Philip we believe that he is a blood relative of one of the two while this theory is a little far-fetched it's still very possible after all disney loves tying its universes together Jane and Bell and now the moment you've all been waiting for so who is Jane's great-grandmother well it's Princess Belle of course as many of you know Disney is notorious for placing Easter eggs in their movies and if there's one that nearly everyone noticed it's that the Beauty and the Beast teacup collection can be found in Tarzan so to get you on board with this theory allow us to point out the obvious for starters both Jane and Belle have similar features and they are both wearing a yellow dress secondly they both fall in love with a man who is more beasts than human sure Belle might be French and Jane might be English but this tidbit could easily be blamed on Belle's children relocating to England during the French Revolution with this in mind it would make total sense for Jane to own the beasts teacup collection after all it was probably passed down to her from generation to generation you know what else was passed down to Jane her great-grandmother's love of books so before you head out why don't you tell us which family Disney you love the most make sure to comment down below and that's a wrap thanks for watching and see you next time on the things [Music]
