Interesting observation, since something I'd always noticed about Disney,
especially later Disney, is the number of female children who are motherless
(Jasmine, Belle, Ariel, and Pocohontas spring to mind immediately, there's
probably others). Cinderella and Snow White are effectively motherless,
and Simba's mom isn't developed at all; the son/father thing was the main
one they explored. So I'd been looking for just the opposite, more "Mom"
relationships.</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1></font></font>
