A theory has been making the round on the Internet for about a year because people can't just let it go, but now the director of Disney's blockbuster hit "Frozen" has confirmed, at least in part, that the princesses in the movie could be related to the king of the jungle, Tarzan.

Here's the idea going around the Internet - and spoiler alert if you are one of the 10 people in the world who have not seen "Frozen."

When Anna and Elsa's parents were lost at sea, they didn't die as the movie leads viewers to believe, but rather were washed ashore, far from their Scandinavian country of Arendelle, with a newborn baby.

The couple didn't survive the ordeal, being killed by a leopard, and Tarzan, the potential little brother to Elsa and Anna, is raised by apes, not in the frozen tundra, but on a tropical island.

Last year, "Frozen's" co-director Jennifer Lee told Reddit that her partner, Chris Buck, thought Anna and Elsa were Tarzan's big sisters, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

Then this week, Buck told MTV News that, "In my own little head, Anna and Elsa's brother is Tarzan - but on the other side of that island are surfing penguins, to tie in a non-Disney movie, 'Surf's Up.' That's my fun little world."

So in Disney lore, no there is no official connection. The movies are not related and neither is Tarzan.

That doesn't bother us anyway. "I say, whatever people want to believe, go for it," Buck said. "If you want to tie them all together, then do it. That's the spirit of Disney."
