Here Are Some Of The Craziest Cartoon Fan Theories
1. Donkey was a human This theory states that Donkey from Shrek may have been human. In the story of Pinocchio, a group of young boys consume a spell that turns them into donkeys. Some of them still have the ability to talk, and Donkey might have been one of them. 2. Aladdin takes place in the future This one claims that Aladdin may be a futuristic story. The genie claims to be in a lamp for 10,000 years, but he also makes a bunch of pop culture references and impersonations of modern Hollywood celebrities. Maybe it takes place 10,000 years from now. 3. The Rugrats babies don't exist This theory is rather sad. Angelica acted the way she did because of the deaths of the Rugrats. Chuckie died with his mother in a crash, which is why his father is always overly worried about him, and Tommy was stillborn, which is why Uncle Stu is constantly making toys for the son he never had. 4. Ariel and Hercules are cousins This theory's a little complicated. In The Little Mermaid, Ariel's father is King Triton, who is the son of Poseidon, which makes Poseidon Ariel's grandfather. Poseidon is Zeus's brother, and Zeus is Hercule's father. This makes King Triton and Hercules first cousins, and Ariel and Hercules first cousins once removed. 5. Bandit and Chilli are criminals Fans theorize that Bandit and Chilli are part of an international crime ring, using Bandit's access to artifacts as an archaeologist and Chilli's airport security job to smuggle goods. And they also believe for the family to live somewhere in Paddington, Brisbane, but their jobs don't seem to support such an expensive lifestyle. 6. What the Krabby Patty is made of Nickelodeon / Via This theory suggests that the Krabby Patties in SpongeBob are exactly made from crab meat, which explains why crabs are not seen at all in the show. While this has already proven to be a false theory, as it is a 100% vegetarian burger, there is a counter-theory stating that Mr. Krabs found a vegan crab meat substitute, and his customers can enjoy the deliciousness of crab meat while he is free from guilt. 7. Carl dies in Up Disney/Pixar / Via If Up itself isn't sad enough, then this theory should do it. This theory says that Carl passed away before he was taken to Shady Oaks, and the movie follows his journey into the afterlife, with Russell as his angel and Charles Muntz as the devil. It might also explain all the magical elements like flying houses and talking dogs. 8. Shrek didn't have a name DreamWorks Animation / Via In the first Shrek film, Donkey asks Shrek's name, and he hesitates for a moment before giving it, which could mean that hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and Shrek might never have had a name until Donkey asked him for it. 9. The toys in Toy Story are vampires Disney/Pixar / Via This one is just creepy. The toys to gain life force from the joy they bring to children, which explains way the toys don't age or die naturally, but their life force weakens when they are no longer played with, and also explains why the toys are eager to be with children and why lost toys gravitate towards places where children play. 10. Duloc's fate The theory goes that after Lord Farquaad's death in the first film, the magical creatures went on a rampage and destroyed DuLoc, which explains why it looks destroyed and deteriorated in Scared Shrekless. 11. Jessie's owner is Andy's mom Disney/Pixar / Via In Toy Story 2, Jessie remembers her old owner Emily when she given away in a donation bin. Some fans theorize that Emily might have been Andy's mom. This is due to Andy playing in a Jessie hat instead of a Woody hat in the first film, which could the same hat that Emily had. 12. Cosmo and Wanda are anti-depressants In Fairly Oddparents, fans theorize that Cosmo and Wanda are metaphors for antidepressants. Timmy imagines them granting his wishes so that he can stay happy since his parents and babysitter don't care about him. 13. Why Tai Lung didn't become the Dragon Warrior In Kung Fu Panda, Tai Lung was never denied the scroll in order to become the dragon warrior. Being denied the scroll was a test, and he was supposed to accept the denial with humility. Tai Lung failed the test, and reacted with anger and hatred when denied the scroll, demonstrating he lacked the inner peace and responsibility to wield his power. 15. Bluey is actually a reality show This wild theory suggests that Bluey is exactly a reality show about the Heeler family, as evidenced by their appearances on book covers, and their frequent breaking of the fourth wall. 16. The penguins in Madagascar are WWII soldiers This theory suggests the Penguins in Madagascar having traits of WWII soldiers, and might have inherited their souls. Both the names Skipper and Private could be army names, and Kowalski and Rico are also experts on weapons and explosives, which they could have learned in their army days. 17. The many mental disorders of Winnie the Pooh This theory states that the characters in Winnie the Pooh has various mental disorders. Pooh is impulsive with obsessive fixations, Piglet has general anxiety, Tigger has ADHD, Owl is dyslexic, Rabbit has OCD, and Eeyore is depressed.

Could your 2025 be predicted by the top movie when you turned 10? The internet wants to know Who needs a crystal ball when there's a new TikTok trend? The latest social media trend asks users to take a look back at the movie at the top of the box office on their 10th birthday to predict the outcome of their 2025. There doesn't appear to be much rhyme or reason behind how the trend got started, other than users having a bit of fun. For example, when I turned 10 years old in November 2010, the top movie in the box office was "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1," according to IMDb Pro's Box Office Mojo. Here's what to know about the trend and how to search what movie was at the top of the box office on your 10th birthday. What is the internet saying? Some users feel humorously hopeful about what movie was the box office hit on their 10th birthday, and therefore, may "predict" their 2025. TikTok user KayCee said the movie at the top of the box office when she was 10 years old was the 1990 rom-com, "Pretty Woman," tells the story of prostitute named Vivian (Julia Roberts), who falls in love with a businessman named Edward (Richard Gere). "I do need a Richard Gere and a new wardrobe," KayCee said in her video, which as of Tuesday had 6.2 million views. "And before somebody says, 'Yeah, but you don't look like Julia Roberts.' No (expletive). I own a mirror, but one can dream." Movie Meter 2025: Vote for Best Picture of the year by Sunday, March 2 TikTok user Darrin Hackney said the top movie when he turned 10 years old was "Jaws," released in 1975. Hackney said he asked ChatGPT to decipher what this could mean for his 2025. He said the artificial-intelligence-driven chatbot told him he may have to face the beast this year, "just like Chief Brody" in the 1975 blockbuster following a trio of men, including Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) attempting to capture and kill a shark. Others are praying that their year sways any other way than the top movie of their 10th birthday year, specifically those who were born in 1997 when "Titanic" topped charts. What movie will predict your 2025? Here's how to check There are several online resources folks can use to learn what movies were peaking in the box office on their 10th birthdays. IMDb Pro's Box Office Mojo shows each of the top grossing films, by month, from 1977 to present day.

Under the second drop-down menu from the left, select your birth month. The movie ranked No. 1 is the one that was at the top of the box office on your 10th birthday.
