Im wondering if more recent films are different from older ones? Tangled comes to mind as a recent film that did include the original mother, but that's just one movie, but it would be interesting to do some research... I'm not familiar with Rudyard Kipling's book, unfortunately... <br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Addisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732176527883570863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971426914329031578.post-20050555042087379712016-04-15T15:08:00.379-07:002016-04-15T15:08:00.379-07:00This is a good discussion on adoption.

I noticed a trend in many Disney films that the original mother is often absent (Alladin, Chicken Little, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid).Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03749372566583160093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971426914329031578.post-9681622279028579842016-04-14T17:35:48.911-07:002016-04-14T17:35:48.911-07:00Good questions!

Also did they ever mention Mowgli's birth mother?<br /><br />goldfishloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088124796958729081noreply@blogger.com
