RELATED: After Onward's Tale of Death & Loss, Will Pixar's Soul Be More of the Same? In fact, the animation auteur was only alive long enough to shepherd 18 of Disney-branded feature films to the screen. However, many movies that tackle that theme, like The Lion King and Frozen, weren't made until decades after Walt Disney's passing in 1966. Though her death was accidental, he blamed himself - a theme that recurs throughout the Disney canon. In the wake of the massive success of Snow White,В Disney bought his parents a new house, but shortly thereafter, his mother died from a gas leak. That trauma may have worked its way into his art. Walt Disney's own parents lived to see old age, but still, his mother's death is said to have affected him for the rest of his life. Parents aren't spared in the studio's live-action movies, either, especially now that those include Marvel, Star Wars and what used to be Fox Searchlight titles. That's because, from 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves to 2020's Onward, more than half of Disney/Pixar feature films use the death or disappearance of the protagonist's mom or dad as a major plot point. But if aliens were to study our society based solely on Disney properties, they'd deduce that society stood at best a 50/50 chance of surviving once we procreated. Only about five percent of kids will suffer the death of a guardian before reaching adulthood.

Later, when Kala tells Tarzan the truth about his family, Tarzan decides to go to England with Jane Porter, wearing his late father's suit.ДЄfter the events of Tarzan, Tarzan, Jane, and Professor Porter move into the treehouse that Tarzan's parents built before their deaths. Although it is unseen on screen, they are killed by Sabor, as seen when Kala rescues Tarzan from her after seeing their bodies.Д®ventually, they were avenged by Tarzan as an adult, who would grow up to kill Sabor. While they may not be Greystrokes in the animated movie, like in the literature, Tarzan's parents cast ashore in an unknown area of Africa with Tarzan after their ship is burned down. There is also a good chance that if they could somehow know about Kala, and her efforts to take care of Tarzan, they would love her and be grateful to her for everything she had done for their son. It is known, however, that they loved each other, and their son, very much this was shown at the beginning of the film when the husband risked being burned as he attempted to lower the lifeboat where his wife and son are on it from the burning ship, as well as when his wife helped him into the lifeboat after jumping off the ship.ДЄnother example of their love is when they give their lives to keep Tarzan safe from Sabor. Her strength also shows when she pulls her husband into a lifeboat. She is also strong and persevering because she is seen carrying Tarzan on her back while building the treehouse. When she and her husband were building the treehouse she was by his side the entire time. Tarzan's mother seems to be an independent woman with the equal emotional and mental strength to that of her husband. When baby Tarzan pointed to the large tree in a playful manner, he instantly knew it would be a safe place to build a safe home together. Tarzan's father seems to be very strong, but also very kind, as well as very observant.

They are very close as it is shown in the movie's opening when they embrace after they were all safely off their burning ship. Not much is known about Tarzan's birth parents.
