When it comes to most Disney animated movies, has anyone else ever noticed the disturbing trend that the mother figures are either portrayed in a negative fashion or are DEAD? I have noticed this for awhile now and it seems to have ALWAYS been like this and still is today. To start, let’s go through some of the early classics:<\/font><\/p>\n

Cinderella – Mother dead, evil stepmother
\nSnow White – Ditto
\nSleeping Beauty – Ditto
\nBambi – Mother shot dead by hunter
\nDumbo – Mother chained up and taken away saying she was crazy
\nPinocchio – Father, but no mother<\/font><\/p>\n

Who doesn’t tear up a bit when they watch these classic movie scenes: \ud83d\ude25 <\/font><\/p>\n

Now, the trend continues with some of the newer classics:<\/font><\/p>\n

Beauty and the Beast – No mother even mentioned
\nThe Little Mermaid – Ditto
\nPocahontas – Ditto
\nAladdin – Jasmine, ditto, and Aladdin is an orphan
\nMulan – Grandmother, but no mother
\nFinding Nemo – Mother and “siblings” eaten<\/font><\/p>\n

There are a few exceptions as well. In some cases, the fathers are JUST as easy of a target:<\/font><\/p>\n

The Lion King – Father killed
\nToy Story 1-3 – No father ever mentioned
\nThe Jungle Book – Mogley is orphaned and raised by jungle animals
\nTarzan – Ditto
\nLilo and Stitch – Orphaned
\n<\/object><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n

Pretty messed up when you think about it, isn’t it? I should mention that Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmatians feature both parents, human and animal, alive and well, but they truly are in the minority.<\/font><\/p>\n

So the next time you take your kids to a “nice, family oriented Disney movie” just think about the legacy good ol’ Walt REALLY left behind… and be sure to arrange for some therapy for them afterwards. \ud83d\ude2f <\/font><\/p>\n
