“Have you ever noticed how n a majority of Disney movies the mom is either dead or not in the picture?? whats up with that??” No, but ive heard people say that and am not sure why you guys think that.
When my 10th grade Spanish teacher Mr Holt made this claim I totally bought the premise, but over the years thinking about it, I’ve come to call total BS on it. who has a dead mom besides Bambi, Belle, Jasmine, Ariel and Nemo? max from a goofy movie? i think she’s a waitress in Greenbow Alabama still and just slipped into Goofys dorm one night and took control like in Forest Gump, but thats just a theory. still though – even if you count both parents deceased and include Cinderella, Snow White, Tarzan and Lilo, you’re left with a tiny number still giving an overwhelming majority of Disney families with living and loving parents.
When I had this discussion on Facebook, the possibility was raised that maybe the moms that aren’t mentioned are just out of the picture like Jasmines and Ariels and not actually dead. but no. theyre both dead. Muslims dont do divorce and Ariels mom was smashed by a fishermans boat, causing Tritons hate for humanity. When I said that, it was thought to be a joke. I wish it were… check it: Tri & his redhaired bride are chillin above surface making music and having fun with other merfolk when pirates come along to kill them. they all dive except ariels mom goes back for that clam thing which is a music box and gets killt, causing a forever ban on surfacing. its lame as hell, executed poorly and they didnt even try to make “mom” any different than Ariel other than increasing her seashell cup size a few.
The poor character design in Ariels mom is pretty obnoxious. also makes you wonder why the other daughters look totally different. the awkward unsaid answer: different moms… and i guess ariels was the only one he cared about. Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, and Allana? aint nuthin but trick ass ho’s.
the death scene is pretty messed up too. imagine this in slow motion with menacing music and you have all you need to know…
