    There are like five popular Disney movies where a parent or both parents dont get murdered in order to drive the story forward. Of those left a handful has the parents dead before the story even starts.

    Disney really seems to love killing parents. Someone ought to talk to them, seems like an unhealthy obsession.

      Coco and Encanto, Moana and Brave, it seems like in the newer movies they’re not as addicted to killing the parents, so maybe someone did? I haven’t seen wish or raya so idk. The parents are also alive in Tangled I think but she’s kidnapped so I don’t think we can really count it as no parental trauma (or we could count it as 3 parents?)

      Aren’t they animations of existing fairy tales, at least the early ones?
