Shit about parents, especially moms, fucks kids up. That Mars Needs Moms movie bombed hard and the marketing/research determined the biggest reason was kids didnt want to see it because the idea of their moms getting kidnapped was too sad and scary

Meanwhile every Disney film wrecked millennials by killing off mom.

Bambi came out in 1942. Even boomers were raised on it.

I don't know, the Jimmy Neutron movie revolved around all parents being kidnapped and nearly sacrificed to a giant chicken god, and that's been named as the number 1 movie of all time on at least one list (yeah it's my list, so what ya wanna fight about it?)

It's gotta be a vibes thing. If the kids in the movie are distraught over the disappearance of mom, then kids in the audience will be, too. If the kids are partying because there's no rules, then the kids in the audience will be entertained.

Reminds me of this movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trading_Mom

Bunch of kids think their divorced working mom is annoying, and are able to "magically" change her into three different versions of herself, which are minor aspects of her personality turned up to 11. The the daughter chooses a French socialite, the older boy an outdoors loving backpacker, and the youngest a circus clown.
