seriously think about it. How many characters from Disney tv and movies are from single parent families?
Goofy had a son max but no wife Jasmine had the sultan but no mother darkwing duck had a daughter but no wife.
I could go on. but it's just a weird thing I've noticed lately.
any thoughts?

On the TV series "The Proud Family", the protagonist came from a two-parent household. Three if you count the wacky grandmother.

As Madisson pointed out almost all the disney princesses only had one parent. and where the hell did the hell did Tummy Sunni and Cubbi Gummi come from?

Simba lost his dad early on in Lion King We met Aladdin's dad a couple of movies into the series, did we meet his mom? Oh, and the princess from that only had a dad
Anyway, yeah, Disney's well-known for the single-parent or orphaned children set-ups.

She was dropped though.

Finding Nemo - single dad Technically we got both parents, the mother was eaten in the first scene. Leaving it a single parent family for the next 2 hours. ALL families start out with both. That's how they kids get made. It's just a matter of when one (or both) aren't there anymore.

It's just a matter of when one (or both) aren't there anymore. I ... I thought families were made by the stork. That's what I always believed growing up. You know ... the stork sneaks into the bedroom and bangs the mom, creating the baby?

Bambi is a HE? After all these years....

All I recall is the death of his mother.
