The narrator of the podcast, Film Theory, discusses the connections between various Disney movies, particularly focusing on the relationship between Hercules and The Little Mermaid. He explains that Hercules and Ariel, the main characters of these two movies, are cousins due to their shared ancestry. He delves into the mythological background of these characters, explaining that Hercules is the son of Zeus and Hera, and Ariel's father, King Triton, is Poseidon, the brother of Zeus.
The narrator also discusses the implications of these connections, suggesting that they are not just coincidences but rather evidence of a connected universe within Disney's films. He suggests that the existence of magic in Disney's world could be tied to these mythological allusions.
The narrator then explores the possibility of other Disney movies being connected to this universe, such as Tangled and Frozen, and raises questions about the existence of magic in these films. He also mentions the possibility of Elsa's ice powers and Rapunzel's healing hair having connections to Hercules.
