Even though cinematic universes are a more common concept thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sometimes fans go a little overboard trying to find connections. There are quite a few movies out there that nobody knows are connected, but these are not any of them.

What makes it even stranger is that fans will find a way to connect movies that are so drastically different from each other. From the style to tone to time to place, there is little to no connection between the movies, but fans somehow find a way to connect them; with some connections being reasonable whilst others are downright ridiculous.

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory & Batman

The strange and whimsical world that Charlie And The Chocolate Factory takes place in looks like it could be part of the Michael Keaton Batman world. That's because both were directed by Tim Burton and some fans will say that the movies are connected because Charlie's father once worked for the Smilex toothpaste factory; Smilex being Joker's brand of products he uses to poison Gotham.

Both films are showcases of Tim Burton embracing the weird and fantastical, but there is nothing else to suggest that it's a shared universe. They are both made by Tim Burton and Warner Bros. Pictures, so Tim Burton inserted the Smilex name (spelled differently) as a neat little reference to his previous film.

A Million Ways To Die In The West & Django Unchained & Back To The Future

Seth MacFarlane has made an entire career out of references and cameos with shows such as Family Guy. So, it's funny to think that because Christopher Lloyd's character Doc Brown and Jame Foxx's Django Freeman appeared in A Million Ways To Die In The West, somehow it confirmed a shared universe.

This is no different from when Spider-Man appears to mock Peter Griffin or Super Mario saving Stewie from a turtle in Family Guy. They are simply random references to movies, but A Million Ways To Die In The West went above and beyond to get the actual celebrities to make cameos.

Piranha 3D & Jaws

The opening of Piranha 3D makes an homage to Jaws by having the prehistoric swarm of piranha devour a man played by Richard Dreyfuss. He even has the glasses and beanie cap similar to what he wore as Matt Hooper in Jaws.

So, it makes somewhat sense why some might think this is the same character who suffers a rather ironic fate. However, Richard Dreyfuss is credited with playing a character named Matt Boyd in Piranha 3D. It's obvious that he was brought in as a fun reference to Jaws, but he is not playing Hooper in the film.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Daredevil

In the original comics, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were intended as a parody of Daredevil, and their origin hints that the radioactive materials that blinded Matt Murdock as a child were also what turned four baby turtles into mutants. That's the thing though, it was only hinted at because IDW Comics and Marvel do not have any connection.

So, there is this idea that any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie that came out somehow connects to a greater Marvel universe. As fun as a crossover between the turtles and the Avengers could be, it is likely never going to happen unless Disney somehow purchases the rights to the Turtles.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day & Wayne's World

Very similar to A Million Ways To Die In The West, Wayne's World is simply a comedy that references one of the biggest blockbusters of all time. In one scene, Wayne is pulled over by a police officer who turns out to be Robert Patrick reprising his role as the T-1000.

Never mind the fact that the T-1000 died at the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, why would Terminator share a universe with Wayne's World of all things? The truth is that it's a humorous cameo. Even Wayne himself breaks the fourth wall and drives off in fear when he sees who it is.

Raiders Of The Lost Ark & Star Wars

Here is the truth about Indiana Jones and Star Wars being connected: Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are simply longtime friends. They worked together a lot and helped each other's movies get made, so they reference each other in their films.

In Raiders Of The Lost Ark, there is a hieroglyph in the form of C-3PO and R2-D2 that can be spotted in one scene. Some fans took that as confirming that Indiana Jones movies take place in the distant future of the Star Wars universe when it's merely a fun Easter Egg.

Tarzan & Frozen

Disney's movies often feature references and Easter Eggs to other Disney films and only in rare circumstances is it confirmed that two stories co-exist. In one of the more out-there theories, fans suspect that Anna and Elsa's parents from Frozen are also the parents of Tarzan because they sailed off and were never seen again.

It's easy to understand the logic of this theory, but there other than the similar fates of the parents, there is very little to connect the two. Even the way Tarzan's parents are designed looks like nothing like Elsa and Anna's parents. As a bonus, the original Tarzan book states that the titular hero is of British heritage.

Ghostbusters & Casper

The concept of the Ghostbusters handling other haunting cases across the world is a fun one, but this theory connecting to Casper takes it a little too far. In the 1995 live-action Casper movie, the antagonists of the movie hire a multitude of people in hopes to rid the mansion of Casper and his uncles. One of them happens to be Dan Aykroyd's Ray Stantz from Ghostbusters.

This has led to people clamoring that Ghostbusters and Casper exist in the same universe. This is simply not true: it's just a fun cameo, and it's one of many in Casper. By that logic, that means that Casper, Ghostbusters, and Tales From The Crypt all exist together since the Crypt Keeper makes a cameo as well.

Raiders Of The Lost Ark & The MCU

This is a theory that is very much out there, suggesting that Captain America: The First Avenger connects to the Indiana Jones movies. When Johann Schmidt AKA Red Skull finds the Tesseract in Norway, he comments, "And the Führer digs for trinkets in the desert." This line now has fans thinking that it is a reference to the Ark Of The Covenant thus connecting the movies.

What fans need to understand is that the Nazi party did partake in archeological hunts during World War II. The occult side of the Nazi party was looking for the lost city of Atlantis at one point. However, it could be that Red Skull's line connects the two universes. However, it is not a confirmation of a shared universe, but rather a fun nod from director Joe Johnston.

Willy Wonka & Snowpiercer

This is a theory that exploded, mostly thanks to a YouTube video that suggested that Snowpiercer takes place in a post-apocalyptic version of Roald Dahl's classic fantasy story. The idea is that the Snowpiercer train and the Chocolate Factory have similar structures.

A group of people travels from car to car, each one providing a completely different experience and the way that someone is taken out. Similar to how every room in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory would eliminate one of the guests on Willy Wonka's tour.
