We know Disney has a penchant for breaking our hearts (RIP Mufasa), but the latest fan theory surrounding Frozen is almost too heartbreaking to believe.
The latest movie fan theory comes Reddit user superclaude1, who had a shocking realisation about one of our favourite animated movies…
That Kristoff is wearing the fur of Sven the reindeer’s mother.
Explaining his theory, superclaude1 writes:
“I’m probably slow but have only just noticed that in Frozen, Kristoff’s coat is made from fur. And if you look closer at the pics the fur part seems to be reindeer. I don’t think it can be wolf cos the pelt is too big.
“That makes it a bit awkward, tho, that Kristoff’s best friend is a reindeer and he’s actually wearing his skin. But in the context of the story, it all fits together. The ice harvesters must have killed Sven’s mother, leaving a baby Sven for Kristoff to look after, and giving him the pelt to wear. This explains why Sven is so close to Kristoff too, and why Kristoff still wears the same pelt. The smell reminds Sven of his mum”
Another user Dorkly agrees with the basis of superclaude1’s reasoning adding:
“The coloring definitely matches up. You might think it’s a wolf pelt, but Kristoff is considered to be Sami, an indigenous Scandinavian people who happen to use reindeer fur in their traditional clothing.
“Think about it: Why else would a reindeer warm to a child that was wearing the skin of its own species? Sven sticks with Kristoff because he’s wearing the only thing that remains of his mother.”
So we’ll add that to Mufasa and Bambi’s mother on the long list of Disney moments that left us traumatised.
Heart. Broken.
