Why do Disney cartoon characters rarely have mothers?

Perhaps Disney fans will sometimes wonder why the characters in the movie rarely have mothers?

Recently, the Huffington Post page shared a few reasons to answer this question.

"A very practical reason is that films are only 80-90 minutes long and all talk about maturity," said Don Hahn, director of Disney's Maleficent movie . It will take one day in your life to take responsibility for yourself. "

In short, after being separated from parents, the characters will grow faster . Bambi's mother was killed and he had to grow up. Belle had only one father, but then he died and she had to grow up. That's how to tell the story briefly.

Besides the very practical reason that time constraints , Don Hahn also added another reason: In the early 1940s, Walt Disney bought a house for parents.

Hahn said: 'He asked the young men in the studio to fix the fireplace, but when his father and mother came in, the fireplace was broken and his mother died. The next morning, the butler came and brought his parents out. His father was seriously injured and had to be taken to the emergency room, but his mother died. '

Hahn explained: 'He never talked about that moment because he always felt responsible. He was very successful when he said 'Let me buy a house for my parents', that was a dream for every child, but just because of a coincidence the studio staff didn't know what they did.

That's just a hypothesis and I'm not a psychologist, but Disney is really obsessed with it. The thought of himself causing his mother's death was really terrible for him. '

Is there any other psychological cause that makes Disney and the creators of its cartoons create characters that rarely have mothers?

But anyway, the fact that the 'motherless' practice of Disney cartoon characters discovered by the HuffingtonPost will also surprise many Disney fans and find their own answers.
