I love how the main focus in Encanto was the familial conflict. There’s no threat or villain, just family failing to understand and open up to each other. Unlike Gothel or Frollo, Abuela isn’t blatantly mentally abusive to her family, but her failure to communicate with her family is the cause of these issues. Rather than being about abuse, this makes the conflict be generational trauma, pressure, toxicity, reticence, etc.
My only nitpick is that Isabella and Luisa's issues feel rushed. I'd rather they wemt on the journey with Mirabel rather than get 10 minutes of screentime to quickly go through their arcs--plus it'd bring them closer as a trio.
@@OpticalSorcererdisagree isabela and luisa were never the primary focus. They were part of it but the movie makes it very clear the core focus is mirabel and her abuela. I think they got enough developement without taking away from that focus
@@OpticalSorcerer Agreed. Same can go with Bruno's reconciliation with his family. Like I like the ideas, but they were too rushed to get fully fleshed out.
@@OpticalSorcerer I agree that some of the characters could have gotten more screen time, but I think that plays into Mirabel’s isolation. Luisa is always busy and Isabella hated her up until the end. We only know what Mirabel knows, save for a few scenes where we follow Abuela. I think they’re arcs are just fine, but they just needed a few more interactions with Mirabel, rather than just being major side characters until their songs and the end
Part of the reason Disney parents don't get enough love is because a lot of them die in the first act. But no one talks enough about how the foundations of the main character's morals are built because of these parents. Simba would be a very different Lion if he was raised by Scar.
Ah yes mostly was because of that, with reason and I never forget that the characters are the way they are and their morals thanks to their family as well. Thank goodness Simba was not raised by Scar, but was rescued by Timon and Pumbaa after his father died, but deep down in his heart he kept the lessons from his father
Shout out to Penny’s mom. who full on punched her daughter’s greedy Hollywood agent out of the ambulance and got Penny out of a toxic workplace by quitting. Her daughter was just rescued from a huge studio fire and was clearly in need of medical attention, but the agent cared more for the cover stories and press attention rather than her daughter’s well being. Penny’s mom clearly wasn’t doing this as a get rich quick scheme (unfortunately there are parents out there who exploit their acting children for money), and showed more compassion for her daughter’s feelings when Bolt was lost. An underrated Momma Bear!
I also liked how loving her mom was with Penny and I loved when she dumps the agent and quits for her. But I don't know why Penny was actress or if she really liked it, because I see that her event schedules saturated her
I believe the original King Stefan deserves a shout-out, he was willing to put Aurora's marriage on hold so she could adjust to life as a Princess and get to know her family. It shows that he understands his daughter despite their separation and that her well-being matters more than alliance.
@@OpticalSorcerer I would gladly welcome a remake or novelization that has more of Leah and shows Aurora's time with the fairies. PROPERLY. (Stefan, Leah, and the fairies were treated horribly in Maleficent, I'm partially convinced the writers didn't watch the original.)
@@wingedyaga2914 Honestly I would've taken a remake of Sleeping Beauty over "Maleficent," given that the OG story needed to flesh out the characters more. It's too bad, since I loved Elle Fanning as Aurora. I do wanna see Charlize Theron as Maleficent, though.. Honestly, a remake should be influenced by The Legend of Zelda, where Aurora actively communicates and calls out to Phillip during his journey.
@@OpticalSorcerer It would make a wonderful reference to the only song of the film "Once Upon a Dream" and maybe Merriweather arranged it so Aurora and Phillip can get to know each other growing up. It would make sense given that her gift is the cure to the curse and gives the relationship more time to develop.
Yet, he made a terrible mistake of not confessing his lack of invitation to Maleficent by doing more to enrage her even more and also threatened to start a war with King Hubert over offending their children for no good reason, which shows that Stefan may be somewhat hypocritical and worse than Hubert when it comes to change of plans. Sure he did miss Aurora and knew it was best to wait until they get better acquainted. While he’s not one of the best Disney fathers, he is still decent and could have been better in terms of his character.
One thing I like about Mufasa is that while he is the king, he shows to Simba his vulnerability, that there are moments that he is afraid, despite society saying that men cannot be emotionally vulnerable. We see that him and Simba have a close relationship, and that’s what makes his death in the film cut so deep, because we saw how much Simba and him loved each other. And then having Mufasa returning as a spirit in Act 3 really shows how much of an influence Mufasa has on Simba. Simba knows he must go back to stop anyone else from getting hurt, but his guilt and grief of his father’s death is stopping him. He’s afraid to face his mistakes because he doesn’t want to revisit the feelings of shame. We often avoid feelings we attribute as bad because we don’t feel good when we have them. We would rather feel good all the time, and that’s Simba has been doing in exile with his Hakuna Matata. But that doesn’t make the problem go away, it just postpones it. He knows that he must face his demons to move forward, but he is afraid to open the can of emotional worms. That’s why Mufasa coming at that moment is so good, because it gives him the push needed to move forward. It will be painful, but it’s worth it in the long run. That’s why I love the Lion King and Mufasa as one of my favorite Disney films, second only to Treasure Planet in my personal list. That one is my number one is because I connect very deeply to Jim Hawkins story. If you want to debate with me we can totally do that, just so long as it’s civil as I know there will be many who disagree with my ranking.
That's why I also think that Mufasa is high on my list of Disney parents, there really is nothing wrong with showing vulnerability for me. And really Mufasa returning as a spirit, moves me because it means that Mufasa never really left Simba, and that love lasts forever, even though he died and it did come back at the right moment, because Simba felt that he couldn't do it alone without his dad, until he encourages him to return and remember who he was
I know Brave is Pixar, but I love the characters of Merida's parents. They're very realistic in the way they argue/disagree but still love and care deeply for each other and their kids, and of course the whole movie is really about that relationship Merida and her mom have
Oh my god, did you have to bring up Buck Cluck??? I remember the first time I watched Chicken Little with my mother. She TOTALLY sided with him up until the part where he admitted that he was wrong; she had to stop the movie to let me know that what he just said was incorrect and a parent's love is SUPPOSED to be earned, and we (my sister and I) still had yet to prove that we weren't a waste of her time. That memory makes me want to jump out a window.
I wasn't a fan of CL in general, and this is one of the reasons why. CL's mom is never explained, and Buck cares more about being out of sight (and it's never explained why he's like that) and CL being a disappointment instead of worrying about his son being bullied or made fun of, which would be a more reasonable explanation. Honestly, "the sky is falling/aliens are here" is difficult to buy for anyone, but he never tries to console or understand his son; he flat out says that he doesn't believe him and wants to sweep it all under the rug.
Zeus and Hera being good parents and loving husband and wife is probably the biggest betrayal of Greek mythology in the history of adaptations of Greek mythology.
@@lainiwakura1776Honestly, my only real problem with the movie is how badly it downplays other Greek heroes like Perseus; whom there actually *is* a constellation of - right next to to princess he rescued, no less.
Before the CURRENT state of Disney, I absolutely agrees on everything you said, Disney probably have some of the most important parents or parental figures in animation history that I can think of, characters like Mufasa, Triton, John Silver, King Frederic, Maurice and so many are some of the best well know parents in any media and their influence even outside Disney animation can be felt, more reasons to dislike the last 2 animated features of Disney who mishandle that topic immensely
I think one of the problems with Disney parents is that Disney is stuck with the earlier tropes. I think they should change into ones that team up and help their children save the day.
The good development of characters, worldbuilding and theme-trends on Encanto just on late 2021 and early 2022, makes SO SAD the current situation of Disney because it felts so shamefull the big lower point that has reached on quality just a couple of years after it!!
The Darling family parents were amazing, and George was a complex-character on his own but was GOOD, and he actually after the party social conventions he had to attend wanes down the way he was so he sets to release Nana on the punishment of having let her sleep outside in the backyard. (He was actually nice talking to her explaining why he was doing that and how he was apologizing to her to take those measurres on, and well after returning to the party he was the one which choose to brought back her into the house and not his wife!) Peter Pan original movie is very fine and just have aged-old with the roles of Peter Pan, Thinker Bell, the Indians and a bit less the Lost Boys gang, but everyone else seems very classic and valuable even today, specially Wendy´s evolution as character through the whole movie, and well... it makes the modern live-action remake more redundant, useless and souless, because there was NO NEEED of having to emphazise Wendy´s central role at the movie despite not being on the title when all the movie actually got her at the center of all. (Peter Pan barely has anything to do on his own alone for character development and when it does it involves Captain Hook or Thinker Bell alongside him usually.) So it´s a very unsuited and pointless issue to make a big deal about Wendy´s role as she was already there since EVER regardless of not being on the title.
In Disney movies my favorite theme has always been family love. I liked how you described this topic: whether we saw how his family helped the protagonist in his growth; or they weren't perfect and we watched the protagonists deal with their family and they managed to reconcile each other. I think my fav families to see were in: the Lion King (the love of father and son of Mufasa and Simba), Encanto (Mirabel's family), Frozen (the sisters love of Elsa and Anna) and Coco (Miguel's family, including his deceased loved ones)
The movie which was great on explaining how actually step-families weren´t the same evil-trend as the Queen or Lady Tremaine happened alongside Enchanted as Giselle which is an awesome Disney princess on her own became the step-mother of the girl which father she married on and thus was breaking with the step-mother stereotype too!
But Bambi actually had BOTH PARENTS during his whole life time, though he only knew certainly on his mother relationship but was unaware that the Great Prince was his father actually, though everyone else knew - and he only guessed that as he aged and took the role he had then as he knew why he had to be away of his own family through most of his life. (The 2006 midquel did a great job building on the Great Prince character development as proper father for Bambi breaking up a rule which seems to have been happening before where only does could raise the fawn, but here he was able to do it then, thus a lot of stereotypes were greatly changed then!) Furtherlymore through the end of the movie as Bambi is watching on the distance on his own offspring he was joined at first by his father who then got grandfather then so... even then on early 40s seems that the common trend of irregular family issues that happened through a lot of Disney classics was not an actual rule even back then!
Yeah, I also think they did good in make this sequel: Bambi loved so much to his mom, and although was sad when she died, he started to love to his Dad, now that they only had each other
@@BG-be8di I don´t know if Bambi actually properly knew or understood that the Great Prince was his father, though indeed everyone knew it and was the Owl the first one ever to make him (the Prince) to realize his responsabilities towards his son aside the job he held on the forest. That midquel as others done around the same-time were actually improvals expanding the original story and respecting them also, but sadly the bad low-ones made a false impression on the evolution those had and so came the live-actions which are kinda worse over time than they were!!
The king (Cinderella) - He may be pushing his son to marry but it isn't just because he want to ensures the throne but also because he truly want to experience being a grandpa before he dies and he does accept his son marrying a former servant. Stefan and Leah gave up their only chance at parenthood to try to save their only child Aurora's life and even choose the right guardians for her. Hubert wants to bring his and his best friend Stefan's kingdoms together but he is also clearly fond of his son Philip which is why he is so conflicted when he think Philip is in love with someone else. To be fair, Triton is raising seven daughters and running an entire kingdom all on his own. This means he keeping everything in one piece along with both keeping the huge family together and ensuring his seven daughters all grown up to be upstanding people. He is understandably stressed out but you can also really tell that his people and daughters mean everything to him. Buck wasn't too bad. Just kinda went along with the motions due to not wanting bad attention. However, once he find out how his son was feeling, he does admits that talking is more of his wife's skill and resolves to do better. Agnarr and Iduna were kinda in a hard place. They don't know much about magic, not sure how people would reacts to Elsa having magic and they have to ensures that both their daughters and all of their people remain safe. However, the main important thing is that they didn't gives up on their daughters and try to find ways to help the family even if meant risking their lives.
Even if he made a terrible mistake of not confessing his lack of invitation to Maleficent by doing more to enrage her even more and also threatened to start a war with King Hubert over offending their children for no good reason, Stefan deserves a shoutout as he had no choice but to let Aurora live with the Fairies just to make sure she’s safe from Maleficent.
Yeah was always a huge fan of King Triton he was, rightfully, suspicious of humans and just wanted what he thought was best for Ariel. He was overprotective yes but for legit reasons.
Belle´s relationship with her father, Maurice, was gold on the original movie but all actually got better updated for the 2017 live-action regardless on at lot of people saying the opposite, but all had to agree that the new Maurice was better than on the first movie!!
What I liked about Belle and Maurice's family was that they had each other and understood each other, and Maurice loved his daughter just the way she was and never told her to change
@@BG-be8di of course that was worthy but got even far more evident on how actually the people misstreated them - or specially Belle on her own - at the live-action movie and still there she kinda managed to be more sympathetic because she kinda didn´t have the same self-pride she looked-down in private to others and kinda was ready to go if chance came whereas Emma Watson´s version still WANTED to RETURN there and really attempted to do it, regardless that she actually might have more reasons to go away than the animated version!
Just like the movie wolf children it's an anime movie about a Woman who lost her husband and most of the movie focuses her as a single mother for her two children
If there are some Walt Disney parents who deserve recognition and who in my most sincere opinion are very underrated, those are none other than:...... Félix and Callhoun And why? Well, for the simple fact that they were the ONLY ones in the entire arcade who offered to give the Sugar Rush children a home after they lost their game and home (because of Ralph's stupidity ) and when none of the other video game characters wanted them, despite the problems that the runners caused them on the first day they adopted them, Callhoun and Félix never gave up on them and even managed to make them behave better with each other. Unfortunately, the mediocre sequel to Wreck-it Ralph never shows us how they did it, leaving it a complete mystery. Sometimes I think that if we had had more moments of Felix and Callhoun with the Sugar Rush racers in RBTI like in the deleted dinner scene, or others where they teach the racers moral values like what is really worth more than winning a race, to value and respect his fellow runners and friends (now adopted brothers), comforting them, molding and softening their cocky and competitive personalities for the better. I believe that Felix and Callhoun would have been Walt Disney's most memorable adoptive parents.
Can we get Bob Iger fired so he can be replaced with someone actually innovatove and creative. Like the duo that did the short for Once Upon A Studio imo. That would be great.

I still really dislike Encanto. How the family treated Bruno even in their own flash backs was so fked that I just really don't like them. Also the grandma was just a prick, I would have ditched that family quick fast and in a hurry XD
I love how the main focus in Encanto was the familial conflict. There’s no threat or villain, just family failing to understand and open up to each other. Unlike Gothel or Frollo, Abuela isn’t blatantly mentally abusive to her family, but her failure to communicate with her family is the cause of these issues. Rather than being about abuse, this makes the conflict be generational trauma, pressure, toxicity, reticence, etc.

To be fair, Triton is raising seven daughters and running an entire kingdom all on his own. This means he keeping everything in one piece along with both keeping the huge family together and ensuring his seven daughters all grown up to be upstanding people. He is understandably stressed out but you can also really tell that his people and daughters mean everything to him.
Buck wasn't too bad. Just kinda went along with the motions due to not wanting bad attention. However, once he find out how his son was feeling, he does admits that talking is more of his wife's skill and resolves to do better.
Agnarr and Iduna were kinda in a hard place. They don't know much about magic, not sure how people would reacts to Elsa having magic and they have to ensures that both their daughters and all of their people remain safe. However, the main important thing is that they didn't gives up on their daughters and try to find ways to help the family even if meant risking their lives.
The parents dying is a Disney trope. Its because Walt Disney's mother died.
Best dad i'd say is Pongo. Second best is Mulan's father. Yes the examples you raise are all great too
The parents concept is a thing sony’s spiderverse picked up on and incorporates very well.
While on the topic of Zeus, I’m glad a serve a God who doesn’t have limits to what he can do.
Wow, no one cares.
Even if he made a terrible mistake of not confessing his lack of invitation to Maleficent by doing more to enrage her even more and also threatened to start a war with King Hubert over offending their children for no good reason, Stefan deserves a shoutout as he had no choice but to let Aurora live with the Fairies just to make sure she’s safe from Maleficent.
Yeah was always a huge fan of King Triton he was, rightfully, suspicious of humans and just wanted what he thought was best for Ariel. He was overprotective yes but for legit reasons.
Belle´s relationship with her father, Maurice, was gold on the original movie but all actually got better updated for the 2017 live-action regardless on at lot of people saying the opposite, but all had to agree that the new Maurice was better than on the first movie!!
What I liked about Belle and Maurice's family was that they had each other and understood each other, and Maurice loved his daughter just the way she was and never told her to change
@@BG-be8di of course that was worthy but got even far more evident on how actually the people misstreated them - or specially Belle on her own - at the live-action movie and still there she kinda managed to be more sympathetic because she kinda didn´t have the same self-pride she looked-down in private to others and kinda was ready to go if chance came whereas Emma Watson´s version still WANTED to RETURN there and really attempted to do it, regardless that she actually might have more reasons to go away than the animated version!
JIm;s abandonment Reminds me of Hook and his Brother on Once upob a tine
This video just made me realize that Bambi was a boy...I never knew
I think LIlo and Nani's parents made them the cool and loving people they are
You want to make a video focusing on Disneys TV department, because this year has not been good despite some good shows appearing.
Can you do a blue eye samurai video and share your thoughts
They should make a parent a MC or hero
Just like the movie wolf children it's an anime movie about a Woman who lost her husband and most of the movie focuses her as a single mother for her two children
Finding Nemo and The Incredibles movies have done that.
First film that came to mind is Emperor's New Groove with Pacha! XD
I always wanted to see Uru and Ahadi, but i'm not expecting anything good from the current studios..
Surprised you didn’t bring up 101 Dalmatians since the main characters their are also the Disney parents.
Tiana's dad was great Wish he had a bigger part.
If there are some Walt Disney parents who deserve recognition and who in my most sincere opinion are very underrated, those are none other than:...... Félix and Callhoun
And why? Well, for the simple fact that they were the ONLY ones in the entire arcade who offered to give the Sugar Rush children a home after they lost their game and home (because of Ralph's stupidity ) and when none of the other video game characters wanted them, despite the problems that the runners caused them on the first day they adopted them, Callhoun and Félix never gave up on them and even managed to make them behave better with each other. Unfortunately, the mediocre sequel to Wreck-it Ralph never shows us how they did it, leaving it a complete mystery. Sometimes I think that if we had had more moments of Felix and Callhoun with the Sugar Rush racers in RBTI like in the deleted dinner scene, or others where they teach the racers moral values like what is really worth more than winning a race, to value and respect his fellow runners and friends (now adopted brothers), comforting them, molding and softening their cocky and competitive personalities for the better. I believe that Felix and Callhoun would have been Walt Disney's most memorable adoptive parents.
Can we get Bob Iger fired so he can be replaced with someone actually innovatove and creative. Like the duo that did the short for Once Upon A Studio imo.
That would be great.

Today is the *1* year anniversary of when "Why Disney Parents Are Underrated" was uploaded! If there were more parents that lived to the end of the movie, more people would take them seriously. 🤓➡️😅
What about Why The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Masterpiece?
Why did Belle and Jane's fathers look more like there grandpa 's ? Same with Mrs Pot in her human form
You forgot about Judy Hopps parents.

How annoying to see that Abuela between Mufasa and Zeus. You need to improve a bit your choice of your thumbnails.
I still really dislike Encanto.
