Adoption-related themes seem to come up pretty often in Disney movies, even when adoption isn't mentioned in the film. From difficult stepmothers to absent parents to a child developing a sense of identity, Disney films often present stories with the potential to connect deeply with viewers touched by adoption. When this happens, there is the potential for good - growth and conversation, and the potential for harm - triggers and unintentionally reinforced negative stereotypes.

here. This page features the Disney films that have come across the screens of Adoption at the Movies.

Disney movies always follow the formula of Happily Ever After, and it always works. If people didn't want to see the hope of a happy ending, they wouldn't see disney experience movies to escape the every day.
