Fans of Anna and Elsa might find it hard to believe but in Chris Buck's world, the sisters have a long-lost younger brother.

"Frozen" director, Chris Buck, recently blew people's minds when he admitted to MTV News that there is a connection between the royal sisters of Arendell and a king who rules a jungle.

Any one of the millions of people who watched "Frozen" knows that Elsa and Anna lose their parents at sea. However, Buck revealed that the King and Queen of Arendell did not exactly die at sea. They had survived and found themselves on the shores of an island. The King was able to build a treehouse where he lived with his queen and their baby boy. Unfortunately, a leopard was able to get into their home and killed them.

If the story rings a bell, it is because that is how Buck's other movie, "Tarzan," started.

While the connection is amazing, it also raises some mind-blowing conspiracy theories on whether or not all Disney movies are actually connected to each other.

For the 54-year-old director, there might be a grain of truth to it as he admits that the long years of filming animated movies gave him "a lot of time to think about stuff." He admits that he started spinning this particular yarn when he and "Frozen" partner, Jennifer Lee were on their way to a meeting.

He told Lee about the mother giving birth on the boat to a baby boy, how they were shipwrecked so far away from Scandinavian waters, about the treehouse, the leopard killing the parents and how "their baby boy is raised by gorillas."

"So in my little head, Anna and Elsa's brother is Tarzan," Buck said.

Of course, the two are not officially connected. But that does not matter to the director as "Frozen" and "Tarzan" are just two stories that are close to his heart.

"I say, whatever people want to believe, go for it," Buck says encouragingly. "If you want to tie them all together, then do it. That's the spirit of Disney."

Plus, it does make for some compelling story telling.
