Honestly, maybe not the easiest concept for Disney to pull off when more than a hundred of their films (a little over half) have a main character with one or both parents dead or missing. Even with just the ones on the box, Ariel’s mom is dead, Max’s mom is dead, Tiana’s dad dies off-camera during the movie, and we all know what happens to Mufasa.

Wait what happens to mufasa? He lives to the end right? He’s a strong father figure for Simba right?
It’s ok, Simba gets two gay dad’s and everything works out fine. Hakuna Matata!
