Disney movies are very popular around the world. You may still remember the characters and stories of Disney movies after many years and think you know Disney movies really well. But there's one thing about Disney movies you may never know.
From Disney's earliest cartoon film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (矮人), to more recent (最近的) ones like Frozen, many Disney movies lack moms. In Disney movies, Mom is dead like Bambi's mom or simply never appears like The Little Mermaid .Disney movies fans may think about the reason for this strange fact.
Many people think that the lack of mothers in Disney movies has something to do with the death (死亡) of Walt Disney's mother in the early 1940s. Many people think that Walt put sadness over his mother's death into his films. However, many of his movies before his mom's death also lacked moms. Hahn said lacking mothers is a way to bring out the themes (主题) like growing up in the short movie time. Many movies lasted (持续) long after Walt's death, like Beauty and the Beast. In these films, main characters lose or leave their parents and they have to grow up and become strong.
We never know if Walt's mother's death made a difference to the mother's in Disney films, but it seems like it's a common (常见的) fact.
