Anna and Elsa from "Frozen", Lilo from "Lilo and Stitch", Rapunzel, Aurora from "Sleeping Beauty", Aladdin and Jasmine from "Aladdin", Ariel from "The Little Mermaid", Snow White, etc., have one thing in common among others: the figure of the mother is missing.
Is there a reason behind? Probably yes.
Asked by Bright Side, producer Don Hahn - who has produced some of the most successful animated films in recent times, including "Beauty and the Beast" or "The Lion King" - said Disney movies are about with increases.
"Movies are about that day in your life when you have to accept responsibility. To grow. Simba ran away from home, but had to return. "
The producer explained that the movies are 80-90 minutes and it is much faster to have characters that grow after the parents "disappear". Bambi's mother is killed, so he must grow up.
Hans gave another explanation for the lack of a mother figure in Disney movies. It is probably related to the fact that the mother of the creator of many films, Walt Disney, passed away accidentally in 1940.
But this is just a theory. According to him, the main reason is that when parents are absent, the animated characters are forced to grow up faster, make decisions and write their own stories.
