17 Fan Theories About Kid’s Movies That Will Change The Way You Watch Them – BuzzFeed

“Hans isn’t actually bad — he was cursed by the trolls! When you watch the movie, Hans is nothing but kind…that is, until after the song ‘Fixer Upper’ in which the trolls decide they can ‘get the fiancée out of the way,’ so Kristoff and Anna can be together. Only then does Hans begin acting in villainous ways…he’s cursed!”

“I read one somewhere about how Russell was actually a guardian angel from heaven guiding Carl to the afterlife. The whole journey is transformational for Carl and, eventually, leads him back to Ellie.”

“The theory that says the reason Wall-E is the only robot left on Earth is because he killed his fellow robot companions is really good. After all, why is he the only one left standing AND he was using the parts of dead robots to keep himself alive??? Seems kind of creepy when you think about it.”

“This is an unofficial sequel to Stephen King’s short story Trucks (later adapted into the film Maximum Overdrive). In the short story, vehicles rebel against their human masters and seek to kill all the humans. So Cars is set in a world populated entirely by vehicles because they succeeded.”

“My cousin nearly ruined this movie for me by saying that Totoro represented Death collecting the souls of the deceased. Therefore, Mei actually died when she disappeared near the end of the movie, and Satsuki committed suicide to join her. The sick mother later sees a glimpse of Totoro out her window, indicating that she too will die soon. It’s some really dark stuff.”

“I once heard a theory about this movie that really screwed me up: basically, Nemo doesn’t exist. Marlin was so distraught over the loss of his wife and kids that, to cope, he imagined a single son survived. The creepiest part of this theory that ‘Nemo’ translates to ‘no one’ in Latin.”

“I read one pretty dark theory about this. Apparently, the characters are actually representations of mental disorders:

An article diagnosed each of the central characters with a different psychological disorder. Pooh has ADHD, OCD, and other impulsive tendencies, Eeyore is clinically depressed, Piglet has Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Owl is dyslexic, and Tigger has ADHD. Christopher Robin is schizophrenic and the other characters are manifestations of his own imagination. The different animals represent Christopher’s own struggles as a child learning to function socially and interact with the outside world.

This theory actually haunts me at night.”

“That one theory that says Wheezy is the secret villain is great. After being neglected and forced to watch Andy play with the other toys due to his broken squeaker, he becomes jealous and deliberately put himself in harms way, knowing that Woody would try and rescue him and be sold in the process.”

“I once heard a theory that this film is actually set in a desolate wasteland future after a catastrophic nuclear war, rather than in the past. The post-apocalyptic theory comes from the Genie’s reference to Aladdin’s fashion and how he’s been trapped in his lamp for 10,000 years. That would date Aladdin to the year 10,300 at the earliest. There’s also Genie’s references to the 20th century and — while it’s a bit of a stretch — the SEGA Genesis Aladdin game from 1993 also features an unexploded atomic bomb and tattered stop sign.”

“I believe most people already know it, but there’s that one theory about Peter Pan flying the spirits of dead children to Neverland. In the theory, ‘Neverland’ is actually heaven and all of the Lost Boys are ghosts who died as young boys and never had the chance to grow up.”

“One of my favorites — though pretty dark — is the theory that the entire plot was all the delusional fantasy of a neglected child who made up a story about wizards to make himself feel better about his current state.”

“The entirety of The Pixar Theory is my absolute favorite. It connects all of the Pixar movies together as thought they’re taking place in the same universe, just at different points in time.”
