Cartoon Death

Well it is halfway through 2014 and you have yet let me share with you some wisdom. I realized lately that Kids movies are not so much for kids "Spoiler Alert" In the new How to Train your Dragon we all get to witness the death of hiccups father only after he finds his mother. Not to mention that it is Toothless who is under a evil trance that kills him. This is a little extreme. I know I felt bad for the little girl behind us who was crying over the death of a cartoon father. Then I starting thinking back. Simba watched his father die in Lion King. The list goes on...

The Lion King - dad dies

Cinderella - mom is dead, dad dies

The Little Mermaid - mom dies

Beauty and the Beast - motherless

Bambi - mom dies

Finding Nemo - mom dies

Frozen - parents die

Sleeping Beauty - mom is dead, evil step-mom dies

this isn't even all of them. I guess we all have to go through this in our life, but in a kids movie. Shouldn't that be where we do not need so much reality...
