    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?

    I watched that movie when I was 9 and feel out of the loop. Was there a Jerry Springer moment I totally whooshed?

        True but it’s not canon and all in good fun like Super Smash. I think Ariel is funnier because she has all sorts of reasons to want to kill her dickhole of a dad

      I sings about wanting to be king and then his dad dies?

      He didn’t do it though so, I’m also a little lost. Unless they are talking about real life lion pride dynamics again.
