possible questions

How come disney families are often missing main family members such as parents?

Disney families are often missing either one or both parents, why?

Why are most of Disneys characters without one or both parents?




Disney films before pixar that contains missing key family:

Cinderella (abusive stepmother and step sisters, a missing/ dead mother and farther)

Sleeping beauty (parents abandon child with three fairy's that know nothing about caring for a child) 

Jungle book (a boy forgotten by his parents and raised by wolfs)

Beauty and the beast (mother is never mentioned, has to put up with ridicule from those who think her farther is mad, farther is kind of irresponsible making dangerous inventions)

Tarzan (mother and farther killed by animal when he was a baby, raised by gorillas, and daddy gorilla does not accept him as his own)

peter pan (lost boys ran away from home and have no parents)

Aladdin (aladdin had no parents and grew up alone on the streets, jasmine was raised without a mother)

Pocahontas (missing mother)

Walt Disney's mother dying could have influenced the plot line of many of the Dsiney movies.

However before she died he made:

Bambi (mother dies early on in the film)

Snow White (mother and farther dies, step mother tries to kill her)

Pinocchio (no mother)

Dumbo (separated from mother) 

could it to be quicken character development? 

Beauty and beast- belle had to take over roll of mother and grow up quicker with a mad inventor farther and no one else to help.

Cinderella- the cruelty she received made her nicer to others and got her a fairy god mother

Pocahontas- grew up to become more like her farther with her behavior and independence

Cinderella, belle and snow white- uninvolved parents, absent biological mother, surrounded by constant negativity.

New disney films:
the incredibles, brave- started with or had parents all the way through, character development still happened similar to older disney films, with both parents in tact. However could that have something to do with Pixar's involvement with disney?
