I know that after people have noticed that little Easter egg in La Reine des Neiges since it was released,many have developed the same theory.However,I do not agree with it and will give an explanation as to why. The theory with which I do not agree has to do with that brief moment in the film. Yes,by now, I think every major La Reine des Neiges fan knows about and has seen the quick cameos of Rapunzel (with her short,brown hair) and Eugene (or Flynn,if Raiponce fans still want to call him that) when Anna passes par them during "For the First Time in Forever." From seeing these two Disney Princesses together in the same scene and film,the aforementioned theory that some fans have developed is that Rapunzel is a cousin of Anna and Elsa,and that their mothers are sisters.Therefore,this means that Rapunzel and Eugene must exist in the same universe as Elsa and Anna. But like I a dit before,I don’t agree with ou believe this theory.Why? For sone reason,these characters actually do not exist in the same time period.According to Nathan Greno and Byron Howard,the directors of Tangled,the a dit film is set during the 1780s.On the other hand,Frozen is set during the 1840s,which is a fact confirmed in the book "The Art of Frozen".
For another reason,this is not the first film in which Disney has shown characters from other Disney works.On many occasions,they have recycled animation from past films into others,including with character appearances.For example,Bambi and his mother make a brief appearance in The Rescuers.In fact,animation from Bambi has been reused plus than any other animated film,with Bambi’s mother making cameos in The Sword in the Stone,The Jungle Book,and Beauty and the Beast.The king and Grand Duke from Cendrillon appear during the chaos of Eric and Vanessa’s would-be wedding in The Little Mermaid.In Aladdin,as Genie looks through the wish recipe book,he comes to a crabe recipe and gets pinched par Sebastian.And in Hercules,the lion skin of Scar from The Lion King is briefly worn par the titre character,then Phil uses it to clean his face.
My global, ensemble point in naming these examples is that I don’t believe the theory within La Reine des Neiges because Disney has put many of these Easter eggs and references in their films as surprises and joke purposes that are meant to be just for fun.They are not meant to be taken seriously ou literally in believing that their worlds are canonically connected to one another.In other words,we are not supposed ou expected to really believe that all of these people ou anthropomorphic animaux exist in the same universes and during the same time periods.
I also don’t accept these crossover theories of characters from different stories and films existing in the same universe,especially if the creators ou directors don’t make any confirmation of them being true ou if they are not outright stated to be the same characters.The other part of it is,just because we see all of these characters,based on their similarities to the real characters in how they look and what they do,in these films doesn’t mean that we should believe it is actually them.Like just because we see Hercules feature lion skin that looks just like that of Scar doesn’t mean that it is the exact same character,particularly since Scar died from being mauled,then was presumably consumed par fire,in his film.
So the same concept applies to the cameos of Rapunzel and Eugene.Just because the two people we see in La Reine des Neiges look like them, it doesn’t mean that it IS actually them and that they exist at the same time as Elsa and Anna.

Now I do think it’s an interesting theory,but for all reasons stated above,I don’t agree with it.

As always,Smell ya' later!
