now, by all animated disney movies, does this include toy story one and two, aladdin, snow white, cinderella, pinocchio, the rescuers, robin hood, peter pan, dumbo, and sleeping beauty. and while i dont remember both movies clearly enough to say for sure, i dont believe the parent died in either beauty and the beast or the little mermaid.
diello:
sorry, I wasn't clear... a parent usually dies, or the main character lives in a single parent home (or in the case of peter pan, a no parent home, with an entire band of kids without parents). Toy Story was More Pixar than disney, and likie monsters inc and finding nemo, it shouldn't count. Cinderella's father died, Aladdin was an orphan until the third movie, Jasmine,Ariel, Belle and Dumbo had single mom/dad.
I shouldn't even get started on snow white and pinnochio, but I will. Snow White lived in a castle as a princess, but there was no mention of her parents, just that she lived with a wicked witch, who tried to kill her, and nearly succeeded until some necropheliac came along and tried to make it with the dead girl. I'll bet he was disappointed.
Not only does pinochio have no parents, but the undertones of old Gepetto wanting a boy so badly that he carves one out of wood is downright creepy!
In Robin Hood, they were all adults. There was a band of kids, but they had no major role. Same with Rescuers. I never saw the first one, but in the second, the kid runs away from his parents and an eagle takes him under his wing as a parent-ish (close enough) and is then hunted.
Did I cover it all?
