On a reddit AMA, Jennifer Lee (one of Frozen's two directors) said: "According to Chris, [Anna's parents] didn't die on the boat. They got washed up on a shore in a jungle island. The queen gave birth to a baby boy. They build a treehouse. They get eaten by a leopard..."
Now on MTV News Chris Buck (director of Tarzan and Frozen) was asked to clarify that and:
“Of course Anna and Elsa’s parents didn’t die,” he added. “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,” Buck continued.
“They end up building a treehouse 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,” he said.
Here's my issue with this:
1. Tarzan's parents and Elsa and Anna's do not have the same hair colour, nor are they seen wearing the same clothes so unless they dyed it on a boat (of all places) I don't see that being true.
2. Tarzan is set in the 1950s while, according to page 65 of "The Art of Frozen", Frozen is set in the 1800s. So Tarzan would need to age very very slowly for this to work. (Must be that jungle water)
3. Tarzan takes place in out world with Jane being from London, while Frozen takes place in a world where Arendelle exists. Of course you could say that maybe Arendelle exists in Tarzan's world too and London exists in Frozen but who knows for sure.
Though Chris Buck did say "in [his] little head." Tarzan was their brother. So maybe we shouldn't take it so seriously. Maybe he's a little deranged and knows it.
