Andy: Wow. For a kids' movie, "Dumbo" is kind of intense. Joan: They always off the mom. It's true. Bambi, Cinderella, Snow White, Nemo... Wally: You think it's some kind of statement? Joan: I'm just saying... Andy: Fly, Dumbo, fly!!
If I remember correctly, I once read somewhere that the dying or missing mother theme was due to Walt Disney feeling guilty about the loss of his own mother. When he first made it big, he bought his parents a house but the furnace leaked. His dad became sick, but lived. His mom, unfortunately, passed away.
