Don Hahn, Disney Executive Producer, revealed the secret behind this great mystery. Find it out!
In Disney stories, when princesses’ mothers appear, it’s hardly for a long time — and that doesn’t happen by chance. Recently, the executive producer of the film Maleficent, who has also worked on productions such as “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Lion King”, Don Hahnrevealed in an interview with Glamor magazine the reasons behind this curious fact.
“One of the reasons is very practical, because the movies are 80 or 90 minutes long, and Disney movies are about growing up and maturing. It’s about that day in your life when you have to take responsibility. Simba ran away from home. , but had to come back. In short, it’s much faster for the characters to grow up when their parents are not in the plot. Bambi’s mother is dead, so he needs to mature. Belle only has her father, but he gets lost, so she has to taking responsibility. It is a technique that helps to summarize the story”, he commented.
THE MACABRA THEORY
Hahn also revealed that there is another theory that is a little macabre that could explain the lack of mothers in Disney films. The producer explains that, in the early 1940s, walt disney would have bought a house for his parents, but a tragic accident that occurred shortly after the move would have marked him forever.
“He asked studio workers to come to the house to fix the heater, but when his father and mother moved into the house, the heater had a gas leak and his mother died,” said the professional.
don commented that disney he never commented on his mother’s death, just as no one dared to comment on the subject. According to him, the loss would have consumed him in such an overwhelming way that he blamed himself for supposedly contributing to the death of his mother. This fact would have made him remove some mothers from his own productions or even give them a tragic ending, as happened with his.
