Happy Father’s Day Everyone!
anyone else just now realizing how dad-centric heavy disney films are?
It’s because Disney hates women.
I mean, sure, they love their heroines, love them just enough to make them important to the story, but not always enough to give them a fully fleshed out character, other women to talk to, or even another female character who isn’t somehow evil…
But I suppose it’s a part of the wider misogynistic western denial of the mother’s role; when someone (in Disney’s case, man or woman or merman or merwoman or, y’know… Lion) needs to stand up and be a hero, a mother isn’t enough, they need a man to make them great.
Or am I just reading into this a little too deep and in the wrong direction?’
No… you are on point. Just off the top of my head…
Bambi: dead mom, doting dad.
Beauty and the Beast: dead mom, doting dad.
Snow White: dead mom, evil step-mom, doting dad.
Cinderella: dead mom, evil step-mom, doting dad.
Tangled: evil step mom, doting dad.
Finding Nemo: dead mom, doting dad.
The Lion King: doting dead dad, absent mom.
The Little Mermaid: dead mom, doting dad.
The Princess and the Frog: doting dad, absent mom.
Jeez…
yeah, disney has a major dead/evil mom problem.
Am I remembering wrong? I thought Simba not only had a mom, but she was a bit of a badass. :-(
Though, the trend is there for sure. I feel like I read somewhere that Disney himself had some serious mom issues.
