The Truth About Why No Parent Is Safe In Disney Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-BTS Disney is the source of everything happy, or at least that’s what they’d have you believe. For a long time, fans have been peering behind the curtain to find the dark side of the house of mouse. Sometimes it's the working conditions of the cruises and parks. Other times it's the actual stories behind the beloved movies. Today, we're going to take a look at a question that haunts almost every classic Disney film. Where are the parents? Why is it that so many Disney characters seem to lose a parent as part of the story? Those who don't, meanwhile, often start the story in the care of foster parents or other relatives. From Simba and Bambi's tragic losses to Belle just not having a mom, Disney characters often come without a full set of parents. Have you ever wondered why? There's clearly some secret behind the disturbing lack of Disney parents, and we're going to look into it. In this video, we'll explore a tragic story from Walt Disney's past that could explain his aversion to parents. We'll also look at the fairy tales behind the Disney movies and why they also deal with themes of loss. Finally, we'll explore how other franchises often rely on tragic parents as a storytelling trope. Since the technique is so universal, maybe it speaks to something beyond Disney. A writing technique so convenient that just makes sense to use it repeatedly. Any one of these could be the answer, and we'll look at them all.
