10 Disney Characters Who Are Secretly Related

Pixar and Disney both have a penchant for attention to detail, and we've been paying attention to that. Their films are filled with easter eggs, goodies, and secret connections the have thrilled audiences for years and awarded more curious viewers. Today, we’re specifically looking at theories of which characters from different films might be connected through familial bonds whether separated by a few years or by many generations. With a slew of new Pixar and Disney films which include Turning Red, Soul, Raya and The Last Dragon, Toy Story 4, Monsters University, and Lightyear comes a whole slew of theories. We’ve hit the books, the silver screen, the forums, and our laptop screens to come up with some of our favorite ideas and we want to share them with you. Did 22 from Soul become another well-known character? Are the dragons of Disney related? Why does everyone hate guys named Bruno? Is Boo from Monsters Inc. a time traveler?
Tag along as we look at the best evidence we could find for characters who related to each other. We’ll also talk about some more nostalgic theories that have stood the test of time from films like Monsters Inc., Tarzan, Frozen, Hercules, Mulan and The Little Mermaid.

Who do you really believe could be siblings? 🧐

[Orto-jjdi]

Hmm I still think tarzan elsa anna are siblings. Yeah I know evidence there are against it but so are there for the theory.
Frozen 2 only shown ship sank but parents cold easily be washed away. So it didn't exactly put that theory down indefinitely

[loudhousemovieguy]

"Soul" is set in the 21st century in the late 2010s, early 2020s, so therefore 22 cannot be Meilin Lee from "Turning Red". That's just a fact.

[sebastianhale]

I don't believe that Jane Porter from "Tarzan" is Belle's great granddaughter, but I DO believe that Jane Porter from "Tarzan" and Jim Hoggins from "Treasure Planet" are cousins because of these two theories. Jim's mother, Sarah Hoggins, almost looks like Jane Porter, which makes me believe that Sarah and Jane's mother are sisters, which makes Sarah Hoggins Jane's aunt. Also, in the middle of the song "I'm Still Here", Jim remembered assembling a little toy ship when he was little and, in that memory of his, he was wearing a yellow t-shirt and a pair of green pants and his feet were bare, which reminded me of Jane Porter, who was wearing a yellow top, a green skirt and going barefoot when she drew a picture of Tarzan on her father's blackboard. Therefore, I believe that Jane Porter from "Tarzan" and Jim Hoggins from "Treasure Planet" could be cousins.

Elsa and Rapunzel are actually cousin's

[Simpx]

I still think Tarzan, Elsa, and Anna are siblings. When the King and Queen left to find info about Elsa, they also left because they didn't want Else's power to harm her baby brother, as she accidentally did to Anna. The storms came, and they got stranded on an island. They both died while sleeping, (as seen in Tarzan, ) and the gorillas took care of Tarzan. I rest my case.

[t.j.walker]

The one about Bruno doesn't quite fit. Because he said that he couldn't get past the mountains surrounding the encanto.

[nataliefellnerova]

I donť think Boo and Abby are the same person, nor even sister. In Monsters Inc. Boo singned her drawing Mary. In many childrens´s rooms are posters of disneyland atractions from 1950s, like Fantasyland or Sailing ship Columbia. And on one door are stickers from Woody´s roundup, show also from 1950s.

[nydiacontreras]

I have all of them, except for Bruno being Alberto's dad, because it makes no sense because Bruno is from Disney and Alberto from Pixar

[Olympic-Cake]

you no what i was thinking about the Bruno thing

[ItsMehTessa]

I am shook. I never would have thought that Bruno and Alberto were father and son. The only thing is why would Bruno leave Alberto in Italia? Bruno sounds like an Italiano name, but Bruno is Colombian. Anyways, that is really cool.

[sydneyelston]

6:54 That drawing in the witch’s cabin is an Easter egg

[salazarslytherin]

Except in the post sequels of monster inc they fix the door and we clearly hear a childs voice Boo to be exact saying kitty so she couldnt have been away from him for long and they do meet again and im pretty ssure Sully keep on visiting her over the years

[mollymacdonald]

I have two other characters that look like they can be related

Pinkie Pie from my little pony and Poppy from trolls

So my theory is that pinkie pie COULD be poppy's adopted older sister by 3 years (because pinkie pie is 27 and poppy is 24)

and comparing pinkie when she was a foal she didn't look ANYTHING like the rest of the pie family and in an episode of MLP season 8 after pinkie stops playing the yovidaphone she starts to become more and more grey and more sad and bitter, like what happened to branch when he lost his grandma and when she finally played the yovidaphone again she got her color back and her happy personality

plus she DOES looks a little like poppy and has the same personality as her

change my mind

[salazarslytherin]

If anything 22 is Miriam there are way more evidence and the whole green earth vibe

[kristachristensen]

I KNOW Bruno is albertos father. Not anything against you but yeah it's correct

[sydneyelston]

3:21 The problem with Abby being Boo is that Boo’s real name is Mary not Abby

[Kpopfan]

I think that Abby and boo are the same person because monster's ink was maid a least 5 years before so that would be her 7th or 8th grade look

[culebme]

How do you know this is a actually true

[bellacasillas]

In boss baby there is a lot of Easter egg
