Hi,
In media studies I've been asked, for an assignment, to look more closely into childhood films, have noticed the trend in Disney animated films that the main hero/heroine is very rarely brought up in the typical secure nuclear family. They tend to be either orphans, brought up by a single parent, or brought up by others before meeting their true parents, or one or more of their parents die towards the beginning of the movie.
Does anyone have any thoughts/comments on this, or thoughts/comments as to why this might be the case? (Other than coincidence)
